Maria and David
"At the start of last year, I signed up to the website with very little hope of successfully finding my 'other half'. I had a look at the dating matches and although chatted with some, none of them were what I was really looking for. Then he found me. I received a message from David who had seen my profile and liked what he'd read. After what seemed like a looong time of just sending messages, we agreed to meet. I was so nervous that he wouldn't like me, or that he'd think my picture didn't portray the real me, or that he just wouldn't turn up, but I eventually found the courage to wait at the meeting place at 12 o'clock. And I am so glad I did. David was gorgeous, and he Did think that my profile picture hadn't portrayed the real me, he said I was more beautiful in real life and was worried I wouldn't be interested! Anyway, that was the 18th May last year, and last Monday we celebrated our 1 yr anniversary! We've been living together for six months now and are totally smitten with each other. My life feels complete now I've found him and I can't wait to get married and have his babies! I am eternally grateful for the dating website because without it I wouldn't have found him, and we are so head over heels in love that I can't imagine my life without him now. Thank you."
Katie and Mark
"21 days ago today I sent Mark a message. He had a sensitive smile and looked like a really sincere man. That started what was to be a very fast and amazing journey to what have been the happiest days of my life. He was the first person I sent a message to. Really! As soon as he replied with not just the usual one line that most men can manage but a whole page of funny and genuine stories about himself and his family I knew we would hit it off and be great friends. After only 6 days we met and decided to run away to Gretna Green as soon as possible. We haven't, of course, because family is so important to both of us but we will be married one day, I just know it. As far as I�m concerned I have found my best friend and can�t imagine my life without him. So it�s a huge thank you to Friends Reunited Dating from both of us for bringing us together."
Karen and Scott
"I had been a member on Friends Reunited Dating for about 2 years when I went on holiday in June 2007 to the Bahamas. On my return, still being single, I thought I would try one more month on Friends Reunited Dating to see if I could find my soul mate..... After just 2/3 days of back using online dating, someone had emailed me and wanted to chat. He seemed very nice so we emailed for a time. We swapped mobile numbers and arranged to meet on 21st July 2007. That was the beginning of a relationship I never thought would happen! We have been together now for over a year and in February 2008 on Valentine's day, I proposed marriage. Thankfully, he said yes, and we are now getting married on 24th April 2009. Unfortunately, I will not be using Friends Reunited Dating anymore, but I have recommended the site to many friends. THANK YOU very much for getting us together, without the site, I would probably still be single!"
Kate and Dave
Dave's dating story - "I have found love and happiness with Kate via Friends Reunited Dating. We have been together now for seven months after she winked at me on August 18th 2007. We talked on the telephone for a month, getting to know each other before we met up. When we did it was like we had known each other forever. We have recently been on holiday to Spain and Portugal and are moving in together in a few months time."
Kate's dating story - �The first time Dave asked me out, I actually said no as I had been away on a camping trip with work, was injured, grumpy and tired. Dave offered TLC but I was having none of it! Lucky for me he did not give up and a few weeks later asked again. He picked me up and took me for a drink, it was like meeting an old friend. The next few weeks flew by, and by the end of our second week together, I knew he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Things happen for a reason, and if it had not been for that lonely Saturday night, Jaws 3 on the TV and Friends Reunited Dating, I would never have met the most wonderful, amazing man of my dreams.�
Kay and Geoff
�Hello. I want to tell everyone how amazing I have found Friends Reunited Dating... I met the most fabulous man after just a few short weeks of becoming a member on this dating site. We chatted online for about a week, then we met in person and we hit it off straight away. We started to see each other every weekend even though I was living in Suffolk and Geoff was in North Yorkshire. We also chatted on I.M. for hours and hours every day... anyway I wanted to tell you all that we have fallen in love and I moved to North Yorkshire to be with Geoff on the 3rd of January this year... and guess what... this year is a leap year so I plan to pop the question!! Thank you everyone at Friends Reunited Dating for creating this wonderful site. You too can meet your soul mate on here.�
Nikki and Danny
"I went out with Danny in 1986/87, when we both lived in Germany. Danny was in the army and I used to be the camp hairdresser. The relationship didn't go anywhere as Danny was posted away. I went on to marry someone else which did not last very long. Over the next 20yrs I often wondered where Danny was and what he was doing. On 26th March I was browsing through 'who's online' on Friends Reunited Dating. To my amazement the first photo looking back at me was Danny!! I turned to jelly and sent him a message straight away. We arranged to meet up that weekend, and that night I could not sleep for excitement. I sent him a text in the small hours to say how happy and excited I was and he sent one back, we were both feeling the same. We then spoke again on the phone and decided the weekend was too far away and met the following day at lunch time. After spending a couple of weekends at my house, we spent the week together when I was off work. When it was time to get back to normal, me going back to work and
Danny going home, I decided I could not bear to be separated again and drove 75 miles to his house and asked him to move in with me. He then grabbed his overnight bag which he had just unpacked and filled it once again and followed me home that night. We are both madly in love and now live together."
Paul and Clare
"In January 27th of last year I received a wink from a lady on Friends Reunited Dating who called herself Bubbles712. We met up a few weeks later on February 10th in Cambridge for dinner and a movie. After months of keeping in touch by text and phone calls we finally hooked up again for the weekend in September. For the last 5 or so months we have been spending every weekend together. I speak for Clare as well when I say it has been the happiest time of our lives and we are so much in love and being together feels so right. We are looking forward to the future together. This weekend as well as being the anniversary of our first meeting, it will also be the start of us living together. As I will be re-locating, from Colchester to Whittlesey where she is currently living with her children. Thank you Friends Reunited Dating for helping me meet my soul mate, best friend and partner, Clare, she means the world and more to me."
Pamela and Trevor
"Having been hurt in the past I'd all but given up on finding love again. I was sure I was destined to be a single lady. However, I thought I'd give online dating a last stab to find my soulmate. I met Trevor on Friends Reunited Dating on August 17th 2007 and we both could not be happier. We fell deeply in love and have not been apart at any weekend for the last six months. We plan to move in together in August 2008 and are already thinking of getting married. It's the one thing in this life I will never regret and I'm so glad I took the chance to give love one more try. He's my partner in life and my best friend, who could ask for more? Thank you so much Friends Reunited Dating!"
Amanda and Mark
"We both wanted to let you know that two years ago in July I met the love of my life on Friends Reunited Dating and we're getting married in January! I had tried lots of online dating sites, but Friends Reunited Dating was the only one where I felt the men wanted more than just one night. Having read the many profiles on the single men I came across Mark's and contacted him immediately. Neither of us have looked back!
Thank you Friends Reunited Dating for making us both so happy."
David and Eileen
Dave's dating story - "I was widowed five years ago and had tried various dating sites without success. I came across Rriends Reunited Dating and thought I would give it one more go. I'd been on the site a few weeks when I was winked at by Eileen. We chatted through the site and then on the telephone. We arranged to meet and when I saw her I knew she was very special. We decided to go on holiday together, it was the best time of my life. We got engaged on her birthday in Venice and were married in December 2007. Life is now great, to have the love and affection of such a lovely person is out of this world."
Eileen's dating story - "After years alone and two failed attempts at finding the right person I was ready to give up, but a close friend urged me to keep searching and recommended Friends Reunited Dating. When I stated my specific preferences I found Dave, and for the first time I sent a wink. We began corresponding by e-mail on a regular basis until finally we spoke on the telephone. I knew instantly that I would like to meet, and from then on we grew closer and I knew I had found my soul mate. We are now married, and I have never been so happy in all of my life and cannot live without him. Thanks Friends Reunited Dating for introducing us to one another."
Ashlee and Chris
"I sent Chris a wink on the 18th December 2005, and he replied a couple of weeks later. I lived in Yeovil, Somerset, and Chris lived in Luton, Bedfordshire (a 300+ mile round trip). We chatted on the phone and got on well, and eventually met at Basingstoke (because its halfway for both of us!). We got on really well, (apart from the nerves), and Chris drove down to me a couple of weeks later. We continued to meet every weekend, and chat for hours every night on the phone, we soon became inseparable. After Chris' 40th birthday party in June 2006, he proposed to me in a subway by his place of work! I said yes, but he could have chosen somewhere more romantic. We bought the ring after we got back from holiday in September 2006. In 2007, we started making wedding plans and looking for somewhere to live together in Hertfordshire. Chris did not want to move to Somerset, he said it was too quiet and boring! We found a cosy little two bed house to rent in Stevenage, and we are very happy here.
We got married at Hertford Castle on 30th August 2007. We are very happy here, and hopefully it will continue for the rest of our lives together! Thanks so much Friends Dating, you've changed my life!"
Martin and Valerie
"It all started when I joined Friends Dating. Part of the site lets you see who has been looking at your profile and I noticed a smiley face looking back at me one evening. I read his profile, and liked what I read. I had no hesitation in contacting him through the site and was delighted when he responded straight away with a message. After only a few messages through the site, we exchanged our e-mail addresses. I found myself running in from work to see if I had a message. Once we had exchanged telephone numbers both our phone bills doubled, we talked for hours, and we could not wait to meet. Then on 7th September I drove over to meet Martin. For both of us the attraction was immediate, love at first sight, and ever since have spent every weekend together. We were soon talking about spending the rest of our lives together and I put my house on the market. It sold in two days !!!! and this has all happened in three months.
Friends were sceptical at first, but once they met Martin and saw us together their fears soon faded and they realised we were deeply in love and just made for each other. I moved to Scotland to be with Martin on 7th December 2007 three months from the day we met."
Jason and Maria
"On the 12th of April 2007 I received a wink from Mariaj1, I immediately responded. We started chatting via e-mail, texting, and webcam, and it soon became apparent I'd found someone special. We met after a week of chatting in this way and agreed to meet. When she opened the door of her flat I instantly knew that the webcam didn't do her justice!! and fell hopelessly in love. We got on like a house on fire, and have done ever since. We haven't spent a day apart since we first met. Shortly after we met it also became apparent I'd found the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, she ticked all my boxes.! So I popped the question about two months later and to my relief she felt the same way about me and agreed to marry me. So here we are 6 months into our relationship and the wedding is booked for the 16th August 2008. Thank you FriendsReunited Dating - without you we'd still be single and wouldn't be so happy!"
