Success Stories

We became "an item" in April and haven't looked back since in 8 months. She had met up with a few people from your site and was on the point of giving up when she had a last chance with me. We had a wonderful holiday together in August - we were looking forward to it so much but it far exceeded our best hopes! Since then I've met her family and many of her friends and got on so well with them. We're due to spend Christmas and New Year together and if all goes well one of us won't be going home as it were.

John, 05 December 2025

Saw someone I liked on this site who had similar interests, when he saw I liked him he messaged me. Met him and absolutely hit it off and I feel like he is the one I have been looking and hoping for. Nearly 3 months on and going strong. Was initially just being inquisitive as wasn’t sure about joining at first but so glad I did and both our lives have changed now for the better. He is a lovely, kind hearted man and I feel so lucky to have met him.

We spoke on 18th July and we are so in love. We are soulmates.
