I met her on eHarmony in 2009. At the time it was the only online dating site that was running commercials on TV. Before then I was single for my entire life because I was too scared to talk to anyone. I didn't drink alcohol and hated bars/nightclubs so I didn't see the point of trying to meet someone there because I figured we wouldn't have anything in common from the get go. I didn't want to date at work and I didn't have any friends so there was no one to set me up with anyone else. The idea of what looked like a reputable online dating service was life changing where I could get to know someone and them me without physically speaking for the first several weeks was incredible.
