Spectacular First Dates



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. In 2010, I decided that I was ready to move on from my past marriage and very much wanted to find that special someone to start a new relationship with."

Louise and Steve
"We’re so happy together. We have the same tastes, likes, dislikes and our friends even joke that Steve is like the male version of me! We’re both just really excited about our future together.”

  • Engaged: 10th January 2011



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."

  • Engaged: 16th October 2011



Paul and Kim
"I wasn't too sure that I was ready for another relationship, but I logged onto the site and liked the concept, especially the personality matching and how it seemed different to other dating sites."
  • From: Stevenage, Hertfordshire
  • |
  • Married: 17th March 2012



Dexter and Siobhan
"For our second date we decided to go for a run together, and both being quite competitive, it was a great way to bond and find out more about each other."
  • From: St. Austell, Cornwall
  • |
  • Engaged: 31st December 2011



Mark and Emily
"When we met, I immediately realised why it took me two hours to sign up to eHarmony. Asking so many questions ensured that the girl sitting opposite me was so perfectly matched; I was quite taken aback and how easy and fun her company was."
  • From: Guildford, Surrey
  • |
  • Married: 12th November 2011



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!"
  • From: Midhurst, West Sussex
  • |
  • Engaged: 8th October 2011



Claire and James
"After our second date I was going on a skiing holiday in France for a week with a friend and told James that I’d contact him on my return. Whilst away I broke my wrist which was rather inconvenient as James lived 30 miles away. James was just wonderful."
  • From: Newmarket, Suffolk
  • |
  • Engaged: 11th December 2011



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."
  • From: Northampton, East Midlands
  • |
  • Engaged: 5th June 2011
