We matched then messaged each other using this app and met up after a week and we’ve been seeing each other regularly for 8 weeks.
Karl, 08 August 2023
Met someone on this site back in December 2022. After a couple of weeks communication via text, we met face-to-face on 6th January 2023. An amazing year of getting to know each other, meeting friends and families, holidays together, and just being us. Our love for each other grew and grew. on 6th January 2024 I proposed and we are now in the process of arranging our wedding on 1st September this year :)
