Success Stories

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 !

Olga, 08 February 2026

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.

Mark, 18 February 2025

I have been with a suitable lady now for about 4 months and will shortly be moving in with her. When we first met face to face, both of us knew we were meant to be together.
