eharmony Online Dating Review

Account Creation

Creating your profile starts by entering basic information in a window on the site’s home page. This includes:

• Name
• Search preference (for example, man searching woman)
• Zip code
• Country

After providing the information above, you are then asked to complete eharmony’s profile creation process by entering more detailed personal information.

Personal information

• Gender
• Birthday
• Location
• Relationship status
• Number of marriages
• Children

What’s interesting about this is that the site actually asks the number of previous marriages and children if any, if a member enters divorce as an entry.

Relationship Questionnaire

This is where eharmony’s matching service truly shines. Derived from Dr. Neil Clark Warren’s matching system – which is based on his more than 3 decades of experience being a clinical psychologist and marriage counselor – members go through a series of questions to create a unique personal profile and to determine match preferences. Filling out the questionnaire takes about 20 minutes.

Search Results

eharmony makes finding your match easier by using its patented “relationship-science” method. Match results are based on the comprehensive questionnaire’s results which give a detailed look into a member’s profile. eharmony then matches each member’s profile eliminating almost 90 percent of incompatible profiles. Each member’s privacy is protected by limiting search results to only those that match your profile.

Membership Services

Basic membership is free for anyone to use. If you want to access eharmony's more advanced features, you need to upgrade to a Premium account. Premium memberships come in 6-, 12-, or 24-month subscriptions. Pricing can only be viewed once you sign up for the Basic membership and enter the upgrade section of your profile.

• Premium Light (for 6 months): $65.90 a month
• Premium Plus (for 12 months): $45.90 a month
• Premium Extra (for 24 months): $35.90 a month

Messaging

Although eharmony provides free membership, messaging and communication services are more robust for paid services. Just like its member matching process, communication among members feels guided.

• Icebreakers
• Guided communication
• eharmony mail

Online Dating at eharmony

Definitely one of the best online dating sites available today. Very detailed profile creation which seriously takes time to complete. But this also shows how serious members are about finding a match. Although there are no wrong answers, finding the perfect match translates to answering these as accurately as possible. Enrolling is free but features are too limited. Joining eharmony online dating services can be costly but this is more than compensated with the quality of matches it provides. A good choice for online dating services and people searching for long-term or serious relationships.
