Couples' personal stories
Long Distance
Renate and David
"It’s really easy to give up if you don’t meet Mr. or Miss Right straight away, but I kept trying. If I hadn’t, I would never have met this wonderful man. He’s romantic, caring and we’re always on the same wavelength, which is exactly what I was looking for.”

Jamie and Sandra
"I saw Sandra's profile and was instantly attracted. After sending her a message she messaged back saying she had seen my match but had been shy about messaging me. We got chatting and she was great, full of life, very caring and we shared a lot of interests."

Renate and Kevin
"I took a coach from Dundee to Birmingham. It took about 8-10 hours and you can imagine how I felt! For the whole trip I was very, very nervous but excited and kept asking myself, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ ‘How will it go when I meet Kevin?’ ‘Am I safe?’ The closer I got to Birmingham, the worse my nerves grew."

Zoe and Jamie
"We walked back to the cars and after I’d given Jamie a quick, rather ‘British’ kiss in a ‘thanks for a lovely evening’ kind of way, he very sensibly wound me back in again and gave me the kind of kiss that makes you certain to see stars, tweeting birds and pink fluffy clouds."

Teresa and Dan
"My theory was that if nothing else, eHarmony would put me in touch with other single people of a similar age and would reassure me that I wasn’t the only single thirty-something out there."

Chris and Karen
“Well, after being on eHarmony for a month or so I met Karen. I had been communicating with one or two others, but didn't feel any chemistry. Karen and I exchanged email addresses in May, and communicated as friends for another few months. There’s quite a story associated with our first date."

Trish and Mal
“I think we both joined eHarmony at around the same time in June 2009. Mal received lots more matches than I did but then he was more open minded in relation to distance than I was. I met one match before Mal and he was what you call a "flexible" match. We had a couple of dates, but we decided not to see each other again. That was in early July 2009. After that I didn't receive many matches at all and certainly no highly compatible ones."

Dave and Judi
"Our first date was in August last year. Since then, despite there being a 400 mile round trip between us, we have seen each other at least once a week every week for the last eight months, and had our first family holiday together as a family back in October last year. On Valentine’s Day, I proposed to Judi and was absolutely delighted when she accepted. There was no doubt in my mind from the very first time that we met that it would lead to this, but everything to-date has been perfect."
