Success Stories

We fell in love at first sight. Thank you x
Janet, 26 November 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.
