Last night Karol and I went to a potluck supper at one of the churches we attend. I over ate. There was just too much good food.
We sat next to the pastor and his wife. This is the pastor’s second wife. His first wife of 40 years died about two years ago.
I asked him how he and his current wife met. He was in New Hampshire and she was in Baltimore. He said he met her over the internet through eHarmony.com.
He said the give you a detailed questionnaire that is a personality test. They charge $30 a month. Then they give you a person they say matches your personality. In his case, they said it was a Pamela in Baltimore. Then they gave him a list of questions that he could pick and they would be relayed to her. She could do the same.
All the while eHarmony.com is acting as a firewall between the two. Even when they started emailing each other, it was through eHarmony.com. Eventually he said he’d like to meet her. She agreed, so he picked a spot halfway between this location and hers. The rented two rooms at a hotel and they met and spent the day together. They were married a few months later.
He sounds like a satisfied eHarmony.com customer.
