Success Stories

I met him on this site and we’ve decided to go steady and be exclusive. Thanks to you guys for the opportunity to meet a really lovely person suited to me.

Oluwa, 16 November 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.

Met a wonderful man (second person I went on a date with) and we want to be together always

Feedback from members we've helped in the past.

I really do appreciate your prompt responses to my queries, thank you very much.

Francesca, 10 April 2025

Thank you for your help and support. Your advice helped!

Jules, 11 November 2025

Thank you so much for the very personalised reply. That is really clear and I have now done that. So much better than other sites which are just awful in comparison - and their customer service is simply terrible! They just use standard paragraphs to reply to queries and I wouldn't put it past them to use AI for the replies are they are rubbish and never answer a direct question.
