Success Stories

The profile process is great, and very thorough, and being specific about what you're looking for makes it easy to see who's a match for you. We had a 90% match rate, and once we started talking it was clear that we were destined to be together, and this platform gave us the nudge we both needed. I can't thank you enough, I can honestly say that I have never been happier.

Carol, 07 September 2025

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

I'm going on my fourth date at the weekend with someone I've met on this site. Thank you for the great site & safe dating environment you provide.
