Success Stories

I met three very pleasant gentlemen but number 4 was the one for me. We have now been together for nearly four years and are in the process of setting up house together.
Alison, 26 May 2025
Found my match within two days of joining. We are so happy together, just perfect.
Alec, 15 September 2025
We became "an item" in April and haven't looked back since in 8 months. She had met up with a few people from your site and was on the point of giving up when she had a last chance with me. We had a wonderful holiday together in August - we were looking forward to it so much but it far exceeded our best hopes! Since then I've met her family and many of her friends and got on so well with them. We're due to spend Christmas and New Year together and if all goes well one of us won't be going home as it were.
