How Does eHarmony Measure Up?

Quite possibly the best feature about eHarmony is its matching system. With 29 dimensions of compatibility, the site uses scientific matching to ensure long-term relationship success. eHarmony targets serious-minded relationship seekers, too, so you know you're dealing with people looking for something more than a casual date.

Getting Started

To begin, you fill out a comprehensive questionnaire and receive a free personality profile. The lengthy questionnaire covers your beliefs, friends, values, priorities and other levels of your personality. This ultimately provides critical insight for matching you up with compatible partners. Once you've completed the questionnaire, you can create a profile and receive matches. As a free member, you cannot see photos or communicate with those matches. However, as a paid member, you will receive matches with profiles and photos on a regular basis and can begin the Guided Communication process.

Communication

Once you begin contact, eHarmony offers Guided Communication – expert guidance through a few steps of getting to know each other before you can freely communicate with your match.

• Step 1: A Quick Quiz
  Select five multiple choice questions from a predetermined list. Your potential mate is instructed to do the same in return.
• Step 2: Must Haves
  Fill out a "Must Have" and "Must Have Not" list of traits you can't live with or can't live without in a companion.
• Step 3: Grill 'Em
  Write your own questions for a match to answer on their own time. eHarmony provides a list but you are encouraged to come up with your own as well.

• Step 4: Start Talking
  Communicate freely with other people.

When Guided Communication is complete, you can exchange emails through the eHarmony system. Your emails remain completely anonymous and you'll only be able to see the other person's first name unless you both choose to offer more personal information about yourselves.

Resources

Take advantage of the extended questionnaire by visiting your compatibility profile. You'll be able to view a lengthy analysis of your personality broken down into categories. The site also offers tips, advice and discussion boards to help you navigating the world of online dating. If you're new to the online dating pool, it could only benefit you to take advantage of the resources the site presents.

Rundown

eHarmony offers a very managed approach to online dating. They do the work for you, guiding you closely through the process of finding your life partner.
