Picture this: I'm scrolling through eHarmony, sipping coffee that was way too expensive for what it is. I land on a profile that proudly declares, "I know all the words to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel." Intrigued, I shoot him a message: "Impressive. But can you sing it backward?" He replies, "Of course, but only if you can recite ‘Jab...

So, picture this: I match with someone on eHarmony and, naturally, my expectations are somewhat split between "this could be the love story of a lifetime" and "please don't be a serial killer." Her profile pic showed her at a café, long auburn hair flowing in the breeze like a Pantene commercial that takes itself a bit too seriously. We start chat...

I was scrolling through eHarmony one night, my pajama pants rivaling a shark suit in sophistication, when I stumbled upon a profile that felt like déjà vu in text form. The username was "UncannyDanny76," which I assumed was just a clever rhyme until I read his profile. His details eerily mirrored my own: same favorite band (The Rolling Stones), sam...

We decided to meet at a cozy Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village—neutral territory for two strangers who'd spent a week chatting on eHarmony. As I walked in, scanning the room for anyone who might look like his profile picture, I heard a clang, followed by a cascade of giggling. I looked over just in time to see a silver fork catapult through...

Picture this: it’s a Sunday evening, and I’ve officially hit the wall with my «choose your own adventure» style of dating. Each new encounter feels like a new episode of a terrible reality show, and I’m ready to pull the plug. So there I am, happily wrapped in my favorite blanket burrito, a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and the remote in one hand, when my...

So, there I was, freshly swiped and slightly caffeinated, ready to embark on what my eHarmony profile assured me would be a “life-altering connection.” I’ll call him Dave (because why not?). We met at this hipster coffee shop in Brooklyn, which I was pretty convinced only existed to house artisanal avocado toast and overly detailed explanations of...

So there I was, chatting with a guy on eHarmony who listed “travel” as one of his top interests. Naturally, I asked him where his favorite destination was. He confidently said, “My parents’ basement.” I laughed, thinking it was a cute joke. But then he continued, “No, seriously. I’ve got a full-size fridge down there with snacks and a big-screen T...

So, I matched with this guy on eHarmony—let’s call him "Mikey." Mikey seemed nice enough, with a professional photo and a bio that didn’t make me want to run away screaming. We decided to meet up, and I thought a cozy café would be perfect for our first date. But Mikey had other plans. Somewhere between me ordering a soy latte and him not-so-casua...

So, there I was, just a hopeless romantic navigating the complex waters of online dating through eHarmony. I had matched with this guy named “Ted,” who, according to his profile, was a sci-fi enthusiast and an amateur magician. I figured, “Hey, even if he turns out to be a total bore, at least I’ll get a free dinner and some good stories.” We met...

So there I was, sitting in a cozy little candlelit restaurant, mentally rehearsing my charming small talk. I had matched with a lovely woman on eHarmony—let's call her "Laura." She had a delightful smile in her profile picture and claimed to be into "long walks and deep conversations." Classic, right? We dive into the usual, "What do you do for fu...

So, I matched with this guy on eHarmony who seemed nice enough. He had a solid job, a cute dog in his profile picture, and a love for sushi—always a good sign. We agreed to meet at a sushi restaurant in the East Village, where I thought, “What could possibly go wrong? It’s just sushi!” I arrive and he’s already there, looking a bit... off. I reali...

So there I was, completely ready to ditch my eHarmony date. We had been messaging for weeks, and while his profile said he was "an adventurous spirit," his last message about his obsession with collecting garden gnomes left me staring at my phone like I was trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I almost texted him, "Hey, I think my avocados...

After completing a lengthy personality questionnaire and assuring a robot that she was, indeed, “fun-loving and adventurous,” she received a match with a man named Greg on eHarmony. Greg’s profile was a delightful m...
