Success Stories

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

Lisa, 22 January 2026

I have found a lovely man who I have been dating for 8 months I was very reticent about online dating but I am so pleased I decided to go ahead

Monica, 18 January 2026

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 !
