Lisa and Lee
“I had been single since July 2008 after my divorce and found it difficult to juggle a social life whilst also caring for my two-year-old son, Thomas.

Stella and Peter
“We ended up meeting on the coldest day of the year in 2010. My friend had recommended we meet at a nice, rural pub but she obviously wasn’t aware that the pub was closed for renovations. After trying the door handle of the deserted tavern, we stood in the frozen car park in a snowy, country lane and burst out laughing…what a good start!"

Nicola and Paul
"I remember sitting at my PC crying with laughter at his sense of humour and feeling moved by his caring and compassionate nature. We had similar views on most things that are important in a successful relationship and decided to exchange emails then after two weeks I contacted Paul by telephone and we spoke for over an hour."

Angela and Anthony
"I’d been on two other dates before I saw Anthony’s profile and I thought he wouldn’t be interested in me at first. I was surprised when I saw that Anthony was a twin like me so I really wanted to talk to him. The next thing I knew, he’d sent me a message."

Luke and Emma
"After a while my friends and family, especially my Mum, kept on telling me I should try eHarmony. I told myself I wouldn’t and didn’t fancy looking online at all, but in the end I decided to have a look at the site although I really didn’t think it would work."

Helen and Russ
“Helen and I had both been divorced and had both been in long term relationships that had not aspired to anything other than life experience. From this we had gone our separate ways and encouraged by others decided to use eHarmony as a means of meeting/dating people, and so our destiny was set. Success wasn’t forthcoming initially, like all aspects in life you only get out if it what you put in. Eventually our profiles crossed when I viewed Helen’s, then a couple of emails later and a telephone call and our first date was set in place."

Karen and Matt
We were getting ready for a evening meal - all dressed in evening attire when Matt told me that something was missing....in his hand, between our bodies was something....I was too scared to even look as I then knew it was a ring and all I could do to stop myself falling was to grab hold of him and kiss him - I was speechless. Eventually though I told him that I could only spend the rest of my life with him - whether that be in England or Australia.
