Success Stories

He lives ten miles away and my absolute perfect match. He ticks all my boxes AND many more and even our dogs are finding romance ('puppy love' lol!) I feel I've "come home" in his arms. Thank you very much all! Sending love! xxx

Sue, 19 October 2025

I was about to give up when I saw a single photo of a lady who seems to be my soul mate and who had just joined this site. We met for three dates but knew on the first one that we had never enjoyed so much ease in anyone's company ever before. We have never laughed so much or had so may sleepless nights as we communicate daily, several times a day and night. This is definitely it. At our age, we should know. (-;
