I first decided to use a dating service when I moved to New York to study. I started a new life, I didn't have a lot of people in it, and I thought, why not get a boyfriend?
It seemed weird for me to approach and meet guys at university, and to hit on guys in parks all the more so. So I registered on the dating service eHarmony and posted pictures of myself from exhibitions and festivals: hardly any makeup on them, casual clothes. And still, from the words of the people who wrote, I concluded that they were only looking for a partner for sex.
I have encountered all kinds of young men. And once at eharmony, a young man texted me late at night and we chatted until four in the morning. For some reason, he was the only one who noticed that my avatar showed me in a chapel. And for some reason we both found it a fascinating reason to talk.
I was very interested in him, he understood me half-heartedly. And then we met. It was so easy for us! He was gallant, reasonable, charming, but firm and sometimes harsh in his judgments, sometimes even too harsh. And I thought: this is "the one".
So we became friends. We were both incredibly happy to meet someone close in spirit, but the fear of losing the friendship because of some, for example, jealousy, prevented the development of the relationship. I felt bad, empty and sad without him. He turned out to be exactly the person with whom I had similar tastes in absolutely everything from music to food.
We were friends for about a year, and then he realized he couldn't travel from California anymore and moved to New York with me and bought us an apartment here. And now we're going to celebrate a year of our relationship and a month since we moved into our own apartment, and we're going to get married in a month.
Conclusion: it's possible to find a couple online. And the dating site eHarmony has helped me a lot in this.
