Dear eHarmony
You were like my best friend. You were there for me when I was sad and feeling lonely. You gave me some great guys to look at and let me imagine what it would like to have a life with them.
The first time we met you matched me with a really great guy, first up. We chatted for weeks before eventually meeting and the chemistry was instant.
I thanked you for introducing us. I would not have met him in the real world otherwise.
You taught me you had to be in it to win it. I get that. Throw your hat in the ring. Take a leap of faith. I could go on and on.
Thing is, I wasn't taking a chance on the guy, I was taking a chance on you.
I left it up to you to match me with a great guy. Did we enjoy the same movies? Did we like going away for the weekend or heading away for a day's adventure. Or could we both just relax on the couch talking about our day?
Well the first time around you did great. 10/10.
But as the cracks slowly started to show I began doubting our friendship. I thought you had my best interest at heart? Didn't you want me to be happy?
I was, but after nine months I called it quits.
I needed some time and distance from you. I wasn't ready to face you just yet.
But 12 months after my boyfriend and I broke up, I was ready. Or at least I thought I was.
I was ready for all those great guys you were going to introduce me to. The ones I'd have awesome dates with and would tell to my friends about.
I had high expectations for you. For us.
But it was not to be. You didn't remember the types of guys I liked - the photos I was attracted to or the profiles that made me smile or laugh.
I did give you a chance. I went on four or five dates with guys you thought I'd like but it didn't work out.
Seems like you have lost your mojo. Or maybe my heart just wasn't in it?
Either way, this is the last you will be hearing from me. Take care eHarmony and remember it's not me, it's you.
