Success Stories

I was about to give up when I saw a single photo of a lady who seems to be my soul mate and who had just joined this site. We met for three dates but knew on the first one that we had never enjoyed so much ease in anyone's company ever before. We have never laughed so much or had so may sleepless nights as we communicate daily, several times a day and night. This is definitely it. At our age, we should know. (-;

Brendan, 14 December 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 !

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