Success Stories

I met my match first time we are very happy thank you for giving me a second chance in life

Adrian, 20 May 2025

The profile process is great, and very thorough, and being specific about what you're looking for makes it easy to see who's a match for you. We had a 90% match rate, and once we started talking it was clear that we were destined to be together, and this platform gave us the nudge we both needed. I can't thank you enough, I can honestly say that I have never been happier.

Carol, 07 September 2025

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 !
