Success Stories

I have been with a suitable lady now for about 4 months and will shortly be moving in with her. When we first met face to face, both of us knew we were meant to be together.

David, 15 October 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..

Elizabeth, 14 April 2025

Have never been happier. We wish we'd met 30 years ago

Many thanks for your email / reply it was very much appreciated as you say it's a delicate situation but you have covered it with warmth and sincerity and covers I believe all areas in the correct way on how to handle such sensitive situations
