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.

He lives ten miles away and my absolute perfect match. He ticks all my boxes AND many more and even our dogs are finding romance ('puppy love' lol!) I feel I've "come home" in his arms. Thank you very much all! Sending love! xxx

Sue, 19 October 2025

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 !
