Success Stories

Over two years together now. When you’re with the right person you absolutely know. After 15 years on my own following bereavement it had to be the right person. There’s never a dull monent. We spend most of our time together with the blessing of our 3 adult children. I cannot believe this has happened. It’s more than I could have wished for. It just takes one click!! Who would have thought..

Elizabeth, 14 April 2025

I met three very pleasant gentlemen but number 4 was the one for me. We have now been together for nearly four years and are in the process of setting up house together.

Alison, 26 May 2025

We share naff all in common but she wrote me a marvellous, funny, thoughtful message. I had long since abandoned any hope of meeting anyone, given that my lifestyle involves ocean cruising and no longer having bricks and mortar and living abroad.
