A few facts and figures from eHarmony Australia’s technology, love and relationships survey
Well, folks, the time has come to reveal the winner of our huge eHarmony AU competition. We ran this comp to celebrate eHarmony Australia’s five-year anniversary, and dish out some facts and figures from the company’s survey on the impact of technology on love and relationships. You can check out the full infographic here.
We asked you to tell us who you’d share your $250 RedBalloon prize with if you won … and after our draw the grand prize, plus a three-month eHarmony Australia trial membership, will be whizzing its way to ELICA PRINCE! Congratuations Elica. We’ll be in touch with you.

time indulging to no end!

Oh and I’ve liked eHarmony on facebook!
If I won the voucher I’d announce it to all my friends on Facebook…then I’ll drop the catch. The first person to tell me a story that makes me crack up (I’m talking about drink-spittin’ funniness here) will get to share the voucher with me. It’ll be fabulous, like some hyped up, virtual real life hunger games ritual and I’ll just sit on my computer chair watching my minions fight over the prize and cackle like a movie villain. FREE ENTERTAINMENT! Livin’ the dream!
Oh my goodness… I just realised that I’m your minion… WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?
Too funny!
With my son Ben. He is 14, and we are very good ‘mates’. I am sure he and I could find an action ‘blokey’ experiences for us to enjoy together.
If i won i would share with my mister hes a fly in fly out worker so it would be great to have a little time for just us! Like both pages on facebook as mellie jane.
I would share this with my lovely partner of 6 kids and 7 and a half years.
I’d shout my ex to skydiving… the $250 should be enough for the training, plane flight and jump…
…but not quite enough for the parachute.

My boyfriend. We don’t have much money and I would love to be able to spoil him for just one day!
I love the idea of a High Tea voucher, or a dinner voucher, would make my day.
I’d book the kidlets in with Nan and Pop….then enjoy some rare quiet time with my #1 Hubby!
I am a previous member of eHarmony Australia, I enjoyed meeting people however nothing suitable ever came my way. However this is not necessarily the fault of eHarmony, but more so the fact that the right person was not there. (I am still a FB liker of eHarmony)
I would love to share my $250 Red Balloon experience, whatever that maybe with my beautiful and gorgeous new wife (5 weeks since we got married), she is my champion, my biggest supporter in life and I truly love her for all that she is to me and she deserves to be treated like a queen every day.
So here’s hoping that I win for my beautiful wife.
My husband and partner in crime for the last 25 years will be sharing the red balloon prize with me. We met on a blind date all those years ago…and things have worked out wonderfully!
With Danny – he’s so great at accompanying me to massages – especially when it’s free!

I would love to share the Martial Arts Lesson With Australian Champion for 1 hour experience with my partner. Lately we’ve both been feeling bored and sluggish due to working long hours. I know my body is capable of more than just sitting, standing and sleeping so i want to kick-start this year with a new experience and goal together, to learn martial arts and eventually be a black belt!
Id give it to hubby for a sky dive experience. He always said he’d follow me anywhere.. Let’s see him follow me out of a plane at 14,000 feet! Hahaha!

Either my partner or my bestie!
I would give it all to my parents. We have been in a huge financial mess at the moment and they have been absolutley amazing. They have given us money, come over with a whole weeks worth of shopping and even treated the kids. They deserve so much for what they have done for us that I can’t give them right now. This would be an amazing thanks for them.

I’ve always hinted every birthday and Christmas that if I get a Red Balloon Voucher, I’d take my partner Hot Air Ballooning. Then, after the Egypt disaster, he casually mentions that he’s always been scared of hot air balloons “gas and hot air 100 feet in the air – it’s unnatural – something was bound to happen”. No wonder I never got my Christmas wish. So, if I win, I’d take my partner (but not for a balloon ride!)

I would like to be selfish and use this on myself and my wonderful partner. We sickingly have the fairy tale of the modern era. We met through a friend’s suggestion on facebook as we somehow had a lot of mutual friends. Thing is though, I was living in NZ and he was living in Australia. Anyways, I was in the middle of negotiating a new job contract at the time and he popped a week or so before I was coming over for my interview. I don’t normally add randoms but the mutual friends we have had were good people so I knew it wouldn’t be unsafe or a dead beat. So we got chatting and yep, he lived in Melbourne. So, to cut a long story short, after 6 months of keeping in contact we finally ended up living in the same city and 2 years down the line, we’re engaged and getting married next year in Ireland.
Love that story!
I would like to donate this to my best friend. She has been with a guy for 7 years, they were discussing rings, potentially getting engaged buying property, on the outside everything looked like it was a perfect match. He has had a bit of a temper and I knew they had big fights as I got phone calls in the middle of the night at times with her crying and him in the background yelling. However, a few months before Christmas, he decided that he didn’t want to settle down and took off, she didn’t hear from him in 3 months, no contact, no emails. No even their mutual friends knew where he was. So as he works offshore and has a few weeks off between shifts we assumed he was off travelling. So, we’ve been regrouping, getting her back on her feet and after almost 6 months, shes doing great, not really interested in meeting anyone yet but still going out having fun and generally enjoying herself, (or putting on a brave face). So now, he has cracked it at her because he thinks she isn’t upset enough and has decided to buy a property in town close to where she lives and is generally being slightly irritating. So, in short, I would like to give this voucher to her, when she is ready to date, and treat herself with the red balloon voucher just because she has had a very rough 6 months. (PS: she also let slip, he didn’t like me, so he also stopped her seeing her friends, which I wasn’t happy about as we have grown up together and I just thought we were growing apart, but it was him in fact putting a wedge between them and her friends)
You sound like a great pal… Onward and upward for your bestie I say!
I would give it to my mum who has loked after her ill brother who has just passed away

Well there’s this girl… the mother of my goddaughter, and my best friend. I’d have to take her on a romantic RedBalloon date, and make her feel super special – she never gets shown just how much she means to me… but this way, I’d finally be able to show her.

I’d share with my incredible boyfriend. AND guess where we met? Online dating! I couldn’t believe that this actually happened to ME! There is no doubt that I would share with him as a few months after we met, we created a ‘Bucket List’ or in our case a ‘Thirty Under Thirty List’. Check out our blog http://www.thirtyunderthirty.com! Through Red Balloon we have gone sky diving and have booked in our parasailing in Manly. We are scuba diving next month and have already visited some of the places on our list! Looks like the eHarmony trial would be passed onto my best friend. If I can meet someone online, she can too
Oops! http://www.thirtyunderthirtylist.com!

I have a difficult choice to make as seeing two guys at once and they both annoy me but think Jeff would be the red ballon winning partner.
I think a nice spa voucher for a friend who works so hard for everyone else and gives all the time without asking for anything in return except for people to be happy. She deserves something nice in her life for a change.
I will share it with my Mum, we both have our birthday’s coming up, one week apart! It would be nice to have a girly experience!
