Fortunately, that giant post-it reminded me to cancel yesterday so no additional charges for me. It was shockingly easy (sorry $L#2). Now if only I'd pay attention to the new angry post-it saying "Priority" on the folder that holds my taxes and lease renewal. Naughty, naughty.
Anne is right - I think I "win" this one from an ROI perspective. I'm bad with what things cost, so I'll just break out a list:
8 dates down:
(+) 15-20 drinks (sorry Mom, but I promise, it's spread out!)
(+) 2 dinners
(+) Wine brought to Easter brunch
(-) Cabs from all these drunken dates
(+) On Demand of Did you Hear About the Morgans? (maybe two +s because it was DYHAtM? Though, quick plug, because I thought it was great!)
Definitely squarely in the positive ROI. However, I'd actually say eHarmz was an overall fail. Yes, I met a great guy and we seem very compatible so far (he likes the AirTrain at JFK airport too!!! Plus 10!), but I only met one. I Closed 227, was Communicating (slowly and uninterestedly) with 43, and had not explored 79 new matches. That's a .29% chance of meeting someone in 3 months, for $120. Seems I have a better chance of dating a homeless guy than of actually "finding love" through the Web!
Unfortunately, I have to stop writing about my dates with IMF. He's still in the dark about this whole operation and it's not fair to him. I've officially upgraded him to just MF, and wouldn't run gagging if he ever introduced me as his [girlfriend] (as I breathe into a paper bag...). It's likely that I'll finally get the balls to tell him (probably drunk) one day, and we'll get in a giant fight because it will turn out that he also had some sort of bet with his friends about me, and I'll take a job in San Francisco and he'll come chasing me across a bridge on a motorcycle carrying a dead Love Fern and Follow You Down by the Gin Blossoms will play in the background - wait, that's someone else's story...
Don't worry, there's still plenty of weird stuff that happens to me that doesn't involve him!
'til then,
$L#1

Isn't the point to find THE ONE though? I would say that if you look at it the other way, eharmz was successful for you two, since it only takes them matching you that one guy to have enter into a successful relationship.
ReplyDeleteEither way, so happy for you $L#1!!!
You better keep blogging. I need this in my life.

- That's all you need. To meet one. Then it is successful. See? For you, eHarmz was a 100% success.
"Seems I have a better chance of dating a homeless guy than of actually "finding love" through the Web!"
- Except you're dating a guy. So, no.
Love! <3
