• 19th July: Blue Angel writes with exciting news about herself and Atb:

  Dear All,
  
  Having sat and mentioned this to my significant other many times I thought that I'd finally sit down and write to you wonderful people.
  
  You see, after a few initial dubious starts on Durham Romance I received a message from atb. We met for coffee and clicked instantly, and things went from there. We've been together for just over 2 months now. We're incredibly happy together and even though he's now graduated we're intending to make it work.
  
  If it wasn't for you and your website we'd never have met, seeing as we're from different colleges. We both just want to say thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to be happy and to be together.
  
  You do truly wonderful things with this site. Thank you again!!!
  
  Yours in eternal gratitude,
  
  Blue Angel & Atb
  
  

• 20th February: Our first testimonial! From Tom, who writes:

  Hello,
  
  Just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
  
  Within three weeks of joining this site I was in a committed relationship with the best girlfriend I've ever had - someone I met after just 15 days on here! I have also chatted with literally dozens of other people, five of whom I have met and one of whom has come to be a good friend.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Tom
