Knowing how to effectively use online dating sites such as eHarmony is essential to helping you successfully meet potential love interests. Learning how to navigate eHarmony may be integral to your search for love.

   2. Social style
   3. Cognitive mode
   4. Physicality
2. Vital attributes

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.

Once you take your personality test, your site profile will automatically be created. You can then go in and add personal details and photos and decide whether eHarmony should start sending you potential matches.

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.

If you find a match you think has potential, you can enter into communication with him or her. eHarmony has two levels of communication.

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.

Once you are comfortable with your potential match, you can arrange to meet them in person.

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.
