Success Stories

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.

Burnie, 22 May 2025

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.

Rosemarie, 02 May 2025

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. (-;
