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 met an amazing man on your site. We have so much in common and we both live in the same city.

Alexis, 18 December 2024

Saw someone I liked on this site who had similar interests, when he saw I liked him he messaged me. Met him and absolutely hit it off and I feel like he is the one I have been looking and hoping for. Nearly 3 months on and going strong. Was initially just being inquisitive as wasn’t sure about joining at first but so glad I did and both our lives have changed now for the better. He is a lovely, kind hearted man and I feel so lucky to have met him.
