This is where I was 6 months ago
I'm in my early 30's. I have a 4 yr old daughter who I spend a lot of time with after getting divorced from a not very nice ex, having "baggage" as single ladies seem to regard my daughter is not a good thing when dating it seems.

Anyway, point is I spent the last 2 years looking and finding unsuitable ladies or finding nothing.

I tried match.com and plenty of fish both of which are full of false leads and nutters.

On a whim early this year I tried that eHarmony site on a free trial as it happens and met my partner who quite frankly is the single most perfectly compatible person I've ever met!

I am simply astounded by the results from their site as I'm sure I'd never have met anyone even half as perfect as she even if I'd spent 10 years on the pubs/friends etc scene.

I know online dating often carries a stigma and there's a lot of dodgy sites looking to take your cash and a lot of timewasters just "browsing" etc but personally I cannot recommend eHarmony highly enough.

If you're really the person you've described give it a go. Perhaps get a friend to read your profile thingy for a bit of feedback but just be yourself and take a chance!
