eHarmony Comes Through -- I Choke

[qos]

I opened my email box today and there were 7 profiles waiting for me from eHarmony. One is even local. I read them all, and they all seem like very nice men.

And my pulse didn't quicken at any of them.

Most importantly, even as I clicked on the first link I was realizing that nope, I'm still not particularly interested in "finding someone". These men all seemed to be sincerely looking for great women with whom to share their lives. All I could think of while reading their profiles was "I'm not the person they're looking for." I don't want what they want: a partner, a home together, growing old together.

My heart is just not it in.

Maybe one day it will be. Maybe not. In the meantime, I have a lot of love in my life already, and I'm walking a path of my own choosing, one which gives me satisfaction. I don't feel the need for Someone To Share It With.

I suppose that (with apologies to tamnonlinear for the paraphrase) if I don't want any apples, I shouldn't shake the tree.

perhaps you should put something like that last sentence in your profile, if you haven't already.

Actually, I've come to the conclusion that I don't belong on eHarmony, or any other matchmaking service. What this exercise made more clear to me than ever is that "finding someone" just isn't that important to me right now.

I did the profile as a lark, but it's not something I really want to pursue.

sounds like it was a useful exercise in making that clear, at least. sometimes dead ends are good that way. :>
