Success Stories

Jean & Peter - July 2011

Jean and I came in contact quite by chance. We had both decided that a dating site wasn't working and had cancelled our subscriptions.

Then, quite by chance, we saw each others entries....... We both had to re-new our memberships so that we could talk!

Anyway, once we contacted each other things really took off. We now have a wonderful relationship, and the future looks great.

I admit it has been a bit of a whirlwind, but things couldn't be better.

Thanks for everything,

Regards,
Peter and Jean

Julie and Larry - June 2011

In late April I was merrily chatting to my son on Facebook when up popped the advert for “Single 50s”.... suited me as I am 59.

I have lived alone for 10 years and was just shambling to the end of a dreadful relationship (not live in) with a man who I had realised was very controlling and my self-esteem was at an all time low. So.....”What’s to lose?” I thought and investigated the site.

I paid my subscription on 2nd May, posted the ubiquitous icebreaker and sat back! Gosh I had a good time! Not one for long communication by writing I set to meeting all these lovely people and felt me self esteem start to rise off the floor. One guy wrote, after our first date “to find a woman with both appeal and intelligence is rare!”.... OK so I nearly framed it!

I decided that I would subscribe for 2 months, have some “fun” and then go back to existing alone and devote myself to my very busy job.............

and then...... May 18th. I had been talking to a guy called Larry who is 61....we seemed to have stuff in common (we both love the “Rocky Horror Show” well, it’s a start!) we agreed to meet. We drove into the carpark of a restaurant , got out, laughed and well, that was it... love!

We had both been open about what we wanted from the site (I will leave that to your imagination!) and each thought the other did not want a relationship. Then...I texted him when I was on a date with another man as I realised that I had never had so much fun and laughter as I had had with Larry so just why was I bothering with others?

So we met again.... following which I went on holiday with a friend and we missed each other so, when I came back he moved in, June 8th it was.

I love him and he loves me, I have always been a bit of a cynic but all that I can say is........long may it last! (Even though whilst I write this he is snoring away on the couch!)

Certainly without the site we would not ever have met and so for that I am so very grateful!

Margaret & Andrew - June 2011

I met Andrew in January 2011.

I wasnt even looking for a relationship with a man who lived over 50 miles away from me.  He had put a diary entry on that day regarding how rude a lady was to him, who he'd held a shop door open for.  I answered that entry by saying I would appreciate someone holding the door open for me & I would never be rude to them.

I was extremely suprised when Andrew wanted to "chat" to me online, just from that comment I made.

We struck up an immediate friendship and chatted for ages daily online.

Our first "meeting" was at Waterloo train station in london & it was a case of "love at first sight" for both of us.  We spent the whole day walking along the embankment in London & visited the "Tate Modern museum" and enjoyed each others company.

When we parted for our seperate trains at the end of the day, it was extremely hard & we both promised to keep in touch with each other via the dating site & our mobile phones.

Every morning I would get a text at 7am to ensure I was awake & getting ready for work & would text him back.

Two weeks from when we first met in London, he came to stay at my home & we became inseperable.  Parting was very hard at the end of the week when he had to return home to go back to work.  

We decided we couldnt live without each other.  Andrew gave in his notice with his employer when he got home & three weeks later moved into my home permanently.

He has met all my friends, family & work colleagues, who all like him.  We are now engaged to be married which has made us both very happy.  Life is hard at the moment as, unfortunately Andrew hasnt managed to secure employment again yet (he has made over 40 applications).

Wedding plans are also "on hold" at the moment due to lack of money, however we love each other & are living together as if we are married so thats all that matters.

I would recommend "Dating online" as a great place to meet people & possibly find the "Love of your life", as I have.
