At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song
Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

Married man is suing for date
EHARMONY REFUSES HIM UNTIL DIVORCE
Mercury News
John Claassen wants a date so badly he's suing for one.
He's taking eHarmony.com to court, because the popular online matchmaker refused to find him the perfect mate.
Why? Because he is married.
Technically, Claassen says, he is legally separated. But that's not good enough for eHarmony, which says it is in the business of matching singles ``free of relationship commitments.'' That puts him in cyber-dating limbo.
``Most people don't file a suit to get a date,'' Claassen said Friday after filing a civil rights suit last week in Alameda County Superior Court. ``If I had my druthers, I'd be divorced by now. I'm emotionally in a different state than I am legally,'' the 36-year-old Emeryville lawyer said.
Claassen alleges eHarmony is discriminating against him on the basis of his marital status. He and his wife of eight years separated last May, and he expects the divorce to be final within two months. When he reached marital status on eHarmony's online compatibility profile, he responded truthfully: ``legally separated.''
But eHarmony says its policy is clear: No marrieds need apply.
Citing California civil code, section 51, Claassen alleges eHarmony, based in Pasadena, is breaking state law because it is denying him access to its matching service based on marital status. He seeks $12,000 in civil penalties.

I have no idea what he's talking about.
I don't know what any of them are talking about.
LOL...sounds a lot like one of the guys I work with!
Methinks thou dost protest too much.
Me either.
Let's dance and leave them to their tinfoil hat conspiracy theory talk!
Shall we?
I like your tagline.
Nice tagline! What does it mean?

LOL!
What's this fascination with rightwingintelligentsia's tagline?
Thanks!
This guy is a horse's butt. Eharmony is for meeting someone SINGLE so you can get MARRIED. Not for married men trolling for fresh meat. He should get divorced THEN look.
Duh! Search me!
ROFLMAO!
I'll leave it for you to decipher. ;-)
sounds like a wonderful date.
What an unbelievable nitwit this guy is. Who would even want a date with this loser?
Good for eHarmony. Sounds like they care about more than just the money they make.
It's just like the weekend...all over again!
Exactly.
Plus, as a private company, eHarmony has the right to say "singles only" and stick to it, I would think.
