Success Stories

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 met on Encounters Dating and after writing to each other for a few months then met in person and became great friends. We married a few years later!

Kirsty, 14 April 2025

Over two years together now. When you’re with the right person you absolutely know. After 15 years on my own following bereavement it had to be the right person. There’s never a dull monent. We spend most of our time together with the blessing of our 3 adult children. I cannot believe this has happened. It’s more than I could have wished for. It just takes one click!! Who would have thought..
