I’ve met an incredible man who truly feels like my perfect match, and my heart is full of joy and gratitude. Thank you for helping two souls find their way to each other. 💞

I met a lovely man who lives round the corner from me. This was the first person I messaged and the first date I went on. He is the same age as me, attractive and kind, very suitable for me and it turns out we have friends in common. We’ve been in 14 dates together and are now getting close. It’s got all the signs of blossoming into a lovely relationship. I feel very lucky to have met someone. Thank you !

After many disappointments I decided to stop dating and was just going to have the one last date. Imagine my amazement when it turned out that he seems to be the one. Early days yet but we are both very optimistic.
