Success Stories

I have found the true love of my life here . We are completely in tune with one another. Everything one of us likes, we both like. I did not really believe this was possible when I first started to dabble with dating sites but I have massively proved myself wrong and I am happier then I have been for over 30 years .

Charlotte, 13 March 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 !

I've got engaged to a lovely lady and we have just celebrated a year together despite being 180 miles apart.
