I met him on this site and we’ve decided to go steady and be exclusive. Thanks to you guys for the opportunity to meet a really lovely person suited to me.

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..
