“Why did you join eHarmony?”

(Looking for tips in replying to this question from your matches? Pick an answer from below!)

I pose this question often to matches, so eventually, someone posed it to me.� I’m not surprised, this question is among the fifty sample open-ended questions. Someone is bound to “click-send” it to me. So, Sharon, the answer is seven words:

WHY ELSE? I WANT TO GET MARRIED!

I want to betroth … be popped/pop the question … be with the love of my life … for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part … land a partner … send my banns … commit … conjoin … drop anchor … espouse … get hitched … get hooked … get spliced … get spousal tax breaks … give up singlehood … have my nuptials … hear wedding bells … hitch up … settle down … share my lifetime with someone special … sign a marriage contract … start a family … take my vows … tie the knot … get tied down … step into The Final Frontier … walk the aisle.

(This should get the award for “Most Rhetorical eHarmony Question”.)

The big mistake we make with this question is that we expand our answer to cover questions that really weren’t asked and we bring out all our troubles:

  • “Do you personally know a married couple who met in eHarmony?”
  • “How was your experience with other ways of meeting people or dating?”
  • “Describe how your last relationship ended.”
  • And the worst question to answer: “So, how come you’re still single?”

Just answer the simple question!
