Your test results make up what eHarmony calls your 29 Dimensions. These dimensions are what the site then uses to match you with potential partners. The goal is to match people who are highly compatible based on these 29 dimensions.http://www.eharmony.com/why/dimensions

When you sit down to take the personality test, you should make sure to set aside 30-45 minutes so you can take your time and complete the test honestly and thoroughly.

1. eHarmony will send you up to 5 possible matches each day.
2. You can review each match and decide whether to open communication or close the match.
   1. If you close the match, you will have the opportunity to let the person know why you are closing it.
   2. Communication can only be started between paying eHarmony members. Costs vary depending on the plan you select, and if you are able to locate any coupons.
3. Be sure to look beyond the surface level of pictures. Remember that eHarmony matches people based on personality and what they consider more in-depth characteristics.

1. Guided communication - eHarmony guides you through getting to know your potential match.
2. Open communication - you are able to chat openly with your match, either through eHarmony's private email system or by exchanging your personal email addresses.

1. Be sure that you meet in a public place and that your friends or family know where you will be.
2. For your first meeting do something low-key. Meet for coffee or for a long walk. Do something you are comfortable with and that reflects who you really are.
