eHarmony is More than Traditional Internet Dating
At eHarmony, we deliver more than just dates. Our patented Compatibility Matching System® narrows the field from thousands of single men or single women to match with a highly select group of compatible singles -- singles who have been prescreened on 29 Dimensions® of Compatibility: scientific predictors of long-term relationship success. Why spend hours browsing through personal ads and searching the Internet when you don't have to? It's our goal at eHarmony to match you with the best possible person for you and we are eager to provide you with the best dating experience that we possibly can.
Scientific Matchmaking
Our singles matching models are based on 35 years of clinical experience and rigorous relationship research to determine which commonalities between partners are consistently associated with successful relationships, and we have known great success matching single men and women based on these matching models.
Out of all the single people you will meet in your life, only a very few would make a great relationship partner for you. Some singles aren't attractive to you. Others aren't ready for a relationship. Of the rest, many are great people who you might enjoy chemistry with initially, but they aren't compatible with you in the important ways that make long-term dating and relationships work. That's where eHarmony comes in. By combining the best scientific research with detailed profiling of every member, we screen thousands of single men and single women to bring you only the ones that have the potential to be truly right for you.
29 Dimensions of Compatibility
At eHarmony, it all starts with our comprehensive Relationship Questionnaire. The questionnaire is one of the cornerstones to eHarmony's success and what differentiates our services from other Internet dating sites and services. Once we get to know you, we then match you with other singles based on the 29 Dimensions® of Compatibility scientifically proven to predict happier, healthier long-term relationships.
Most people know that the key to success in a long-term relationship is compatibility. But what does that mean? If you and your new mate both like foreign movies and mocha ice cream, will you still feel the magic in 25 years?
eHarmony matches singles based on a deeper level of compatibility, not likes and dislikes, but true compatibility. Do you and your potential mate resolve conflict in a similar fashion? Are you both romantics at heart? And we are the only online dating web site that matches singles based on these 29 Dimensions®. To help you better understand these dimensions, we've grouped them into Core Traits and Vital Attributes.
Core Traits are defining aspects of who you are that remain largely unchanged throughout your adult life. Vital Attributes are based on learning experience, and are more likely to change based on life events and decisions you make as an adult.
These key areas paint a powerful portrait of who you are at the deepest level and form the basis for how our patented Compatibility Matching System® finds singles that are truly right for you.
Expert Guidance
Often, the only thing harder than finding someone special is getting to know them. But what if you had an easy, step-by-step process that took the pressure off and allows you to be yourself? eHarmony's Guided Communication option does just that, so you can focus on the enjoyment of getting to know your single matches without worrying about the awkwardness of the first few communications.
One of the greatest benefits of using eHarmony is the expert guidance that underlies everything we do. Founded by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, renowned psychologist and relationship expert, eHarmony was designed to bring his more than 35 years of research to support you at every turn of the relationship building process.
