I have not had issues with matches going to OC; I have been on EH a couple weeks and have had about 6 go to OC (and several in upper stages of GC). Some I initiated, others I did not. Most matches are quite in line with my settings, and those I close out (or they close out) have been as we are on different sides of the border (but within distance setting) or for me at least there was something I just did not like about profile, etc.

I have had a couple dates with one match (and another planned for this week) and am really interested in pursuing it and focusing on that (and him), so I intend to close my matching for now and put the others on hold or close them out as he & I slowly get to know one another. It’s early yet, but I am not one to keep chasing greener grass when my yard looks pretty good and has great potential with some more love and care J

I was on other dating sites a few years ago, and I have to say I much prefer EH. I like that there is less “trolling” for booty calls, or “intimate encounters” (I mean I like sex, but I don’t want it to be the only reason someone shows interest!). I LIKE that you are not reading screen names like “SIXPACKABS456” and hearing how they will “rock your world”. I am at a point in my life I want to build something strong and based on emotional intimacy and connection, and this seems to be a good site to meet people whom share that interest. With my current “date” I made no bones about I was serious about finding someone whom I shared similar values with, to build a long term relationship with, and had that connection/chemistry with and yet was not going to settle. On other dating sites I have been on, that would have someone run for the hills (I am a very independent, strong person…but I DO want this!). On this one, as I am being matched with people with similar goals and values, instead it is readily accepted. So far with him we have been able to share some pretty intimate parts of “who we are” and I have felt extremely comfortable doing so (because I think we are a good match it just feels like I can be very open and honest!), and it’s uncanny how similar our perspectives and values are in the areas we have talked about.

Whether or not things work out as we take our time to get to know one another is left to be seen as we are taking it slow, but I do know that I certainly feel the “system” did an extremely good job at sorting out what for me is important in a partner, and a relationship and actually matching me with people on that similar wavelength.

I think, you just have to be open to the experience. I have had a few relationships in my lifetime. Some I met through friends, social activities, other dating sites. And obviously….they all did not work out in long run or I would not be here! But I have always been OPEN to meeting people through different means and really keeping a positive outlook on it. It’s not for everyone, but that does not mean it’s not for anyone either!
