Month: March 2016

‘I am so pleased to say that I have met someone very special on your website, her name is Anna and she is the best thing that has happened to me for a very long time. She is beautiful and a wonderful girlfriend. I didn’t think I would ever be so happy with my life but she has turned it into a living dream, and I can’t thank you enough. We started chatting on your website before we exchanged mobile numbers. Our first date was a meal at an Italian restaurant. There was an immediate click between us and the sparks have been flying ever since.

Thankyou once again you have made me so happy it is a dream come true.

Robert.’

“I asked Elaine to chat and the night was a long one, we hit it off from the word go. We had a lot of fun (all clean I may add)! Elaine called me her tonic. We laughed lots. We chatted for approximately one week then one night she asked me out for a casual meet. We met in a bowling alley and as soon as we laid eyes on each other that was it, the search was over. We had a lot of fun and there was a lot of chemistry you could all most touch it, we felt it . We both went our separate ways home, which was perfect. The next 6 days we spoke over 6 hours on the phone and text in excess of over 300 texts! 3 weeks later we speak everyday for over an hour. We text everyday. I surprised her with a BBQ on the beach which she loved and said was very romantic. We were looking for nice simple people who just want to love and be loved and we found it in each other. We are enjoying each other for a while before any introductions to family and friends. We went bowling again and have been on two beach trips. We would like to go away for a night or two soon. I just want to say a big thank you to Single Parents!

Darren and Elaine.”

“I had been on the site as a full member about for 6 weeks, had done the usual searching and had a couple of dates which led to friendship but nothing else. Then about 3 weeks ago I stumbled accross the picture of a lady who was stunning to my eyes. I sent a message not really thinking that I would get a reply. I told her how attractive I found her and how much we seem to have in common, and how I would love to get to know her better.

The next day I logged on and in my inbox was a response from her. I thought it would be a polite refusal to my offer of chatting, but to my surprise she thought it a great idea, so we arranged to chat the following night, which lasted about 5 hours. The next night we chatted again and swapped numbers. I told her I was on holiday and had booked a weekend in Edinburgh. She lives on the other side of Glasgow and said it was a shame we could not meet up. I agreed and never gave it a second thought.

That weekend I travelled to Edinburgh and while relaxing in the hotel, I received a phone call from her asking if I would meet her in Glasgow that night. I said yes then thought how do I get there!? The hotel staff were great and said a bus left every 15mins for Glasgow so we arranged to meet at Central Station for 7.30. I arrived at the bus station and my date phoned to say that she would walk up to meet me. It was absolutely pouring down, but I noticed her above anyone else when we walked towards each other. We greeted each other with a polite kiss then decided to find a place to eat and chat. We found a nice Spanish restaurant and enjoyed a lovely meal and a drink, but the night passed all to quickly, as it does when you are having fun.

I walked her to the train station, we found her platform and as we chatted it just seemed so right to kiss, it was not preplanned, it just happened. After that we spent 3 wonderful days together including a day trip to Belfast to the Titanic exhibition and it was great fun.

Since returning home, we talk constantly and I have made plans to visit her again, and for her to visit me in Durham.

I would like to thank Senior Singles for bringing us together, and my advice is to other singles is don’t give up, be brave make that first move, and don’t let any lack of confidence stop you from doing that. I know confidence is an issue with most of the people on the site, but don’t let a refusal get you down… persist, it’s worth the endeavour.

“I first contacted Mark as I liked his photo and thought he had nice eyes. At first we just sent some messages to get to know each other and then he asked if I wanted to meet him. He took me to a nice pub for a meal and a drink and we got on well. We talked until the pub closed, the bar staff were waiting for us to leave! He took me home and when we said our goodbyes he gave me a kiss. For our next date, we had a nice long walk, hand in hand. It didn’t matter that the walk was muddy and raining, I had my wellington boots on and was wrapped up warm, with a nice guy on my arm. Since that day we have met up for other dates, either for a meal in the evening or a day out at the weekend. We don’t have any plans for the future at the moment, we just get on well together.”

“Thank you for your help in finding a lovely guy! After chatting on the site, our first date was booked in for Thursday 8th January this year.  I was attending a friend’s party on my own a few days earlier and Steve offered to escort me as my date, so our first date was brought forward to 3rd January. We still had the original dinner date on the 8th, but really it was our second date. We clicked straight away when we met, our interests are similar and our careers started off in a similar way too. Steve is very kind, generous and loving, and easy to love in return. We feel comfortable together and only live one hour apart, so seeing each other is easy. All my four children like him too which is a massive bonus, I feel I can trust him totally.  So thank you again!”

Sounds like April and Steve got their happy ever after! We wish them all the best.

“It all started with a wink and a small message from Tracy back. I responded and we chatted for a while. I just knew we had to meet. About a week later we had our first date which was supposed to be in a coffee shop. Being a hot day we decided instead on a walk in a park near Tracy’s home. It was me who suggested it as I wanted to make the date last longer! I was definately attracted to Tracy and wanted to find out more about her. We walked and talked for about 40 minutes and it felt so comfortable and relaxed. It really was a lovely day .

The next day I asked Tracy out on another date which we went on the following week. We went on a night out in Liverpool. I really wanted to see her again and hoped the feeling was mutual. It was a great night drinking ,dancing and at the end we had our first kiss.

We have been dating for a couple of months and our now together exclusively. We are just taking things slowly at the moment as we are in a early stage of our relationship. 

To all of you on the site – hang in there! I was on the site for 7 months before I met Tracy and she had been on for a few months also. Good luck to you all and have a great 2015.

Dave.”

“I winked at Tom in 2016. I liked him as he had a Latino look and loved his eyes. His profile was nice too… very objective and “normal”. He was like me (and many others) looking for love and was not afraid to say so.

Tom answered back after five days (could you imagine the torture???) I was simply not his type, I thought! But he winked back so I decided to write to him and he replied. He was planning to go to Spain within a week and half for five long weeks. Tom lives in West Sussex and I live in Surrey, so it was a long journey! Our meeting? Four people playing bowling  (not very romantic at all!) It was my brother, his son, Tom and me. It was a nice evening and later on Tom told me that he had booked a hotel room, as he did know he couldn’t be on time for the train to get back. I left my brother at my house and drove to Tom’s hotel. We went upstairs and drank tea and talked for almost an hour. I decided then it was time to go home. He was such a gentleman, he did not even try to kiss me.

He called me the next day and we talked for hours till he suggested that he came to see me the following morning. I picked him up from the train station and he came straight to me and kissed me…OMG! We only had five days left until he was gone to Spain… I wasn’t sure if that was going to work. We had a lovely day together and when it was time for him to go back home, he asked me if I would like to go on holiday with him and meet his children and his father in Spain.

WOW!

It was fast, simple, confusing, exciting, romantic…too much within few day! “Slow down Magy” I said to myself and I answered “I don’t know” and “Let me think about it” when I really wanted to say “Spain? Yes! Of course!” Haha! He went to Spain and I decided to go after two weeks. It was the best decision I’ve ever made as I met two beautiful kids, one special grandad and had a lovely time with my girl. We all flew back together and it was so much fun. We have five kids between us, too much isn’t it? Haha. All five were asking us when we are getting married!

Our message for those still looking for love is this… never give up on your dreams as many people out there have the same dreams and same needs as person as you. I like to think that we are like beautiful stones on the shore just waiting to be picked.

Our future? We will never know until we decide to live our present to lead us there!

Love,

Magy x”

“Adrian and I met online in July of 2016 after both being on the site for several months. Both had been married before and had daughters so I sent him a wink to start with as I liked his smiley face, and his profile read well and sounded like someone I would get along with. He winked back within a couple of minutes and so we messaged for a couple of days before swapping numbers.

After a couple of days Adrian suggested we meet up, so on the Friday we arranged a date for the following Saturday.  That week felt like the longest week of my life!! We spoke several times on the phone and still seemed to have loads to talk about each time. I was so worried that by the time Saturday came around we would either have nothing left to talk about, or we wouldn’t get on as well in person. Adrian had no worries at all and says he knew it was going to be OK from the start.  The Saturday finally came and we met at a country pub in between us. I was early and was about to text to say had arrived and then I saw him…. one glance and I knew it was going to be a good date. We stayed and chatted for over 3 hours and even forgot to eat (a fact I still tease him about often…. what’s a date with no food!)

Eventually we had to go home and so arranged to meet again on Tuesday. From there we quickly became a couple and both of us stopped searching online . 10 days after we met Adrian told me he loved me, and 2 days later we booked a short break away to Crete together!

Since then we spend a lot of time together and still seem to have loads to chat about. Crete went better than could  be expected and we have now booked to go to Egypt in April of 2014. Our daughters have met each other and get on well.

Both  of us have been hurt in the past but having found each other we are both just enjoying being so very happy together. Apart from his snoring I wouldn’t change a thing about him or our relationship, and we look forward to loads more happy times together.

Tara.”

 

Do we hear wedding bells…?

“I just wanted to thank your website for helping me find the man of my dreams.

I had been single for some time and when I joined Afro Earth. I had a few dates but nothing exciting. When Wayne “winked” at me I wasn’t excited but more curious, and after a string a emails we decided to exchange numbers.

We hit it off straight away built up a really good rapport and decided to meet for a coffee. Although it wasn’t love at first sight, we still got on really well and continued to meet with each other. It was on our 4th coffee meeting that I knew I liked Wayne, his smile and laugh made me happy, and we have seen each other ever since! We kissed that night and I love him to bits, as do my kids and the rest of my family. We have been out to restaurants, shopping and some play dates with the kids, all of which has been great fun. I know Wayne is the one and we have openly discussed our future plans,and we want the same things like marriage, a mortgage and a new car, and that’s just for starters!

6 weeks after meeting and 8 weeks after our first contact Wayne proposed and I happily accepted!

I really didn’t think that I would ever find the happiness I have with Wayne, but I’m over the moon! Keep looking, don’t judge every book by its cover, you never know what you might find! I can’t imagine my life without Wayne now, and I can’t wait to start planning our wedding!

Thanks to Afro Earth, you have helped me find my life partner!”

We do love a good wedding! Congratulations to the lovely couple, we can’t wait to see the wedding photos!

Until next time,
