September 3, at 3: My single friends dabble in online dating and find some gems, but many many duds. Thousands of people are getting Lovestruck Hi, have loved using your site, it's great! I spotted Rob on the first day I joined the site. Share your experiences in the comments.
After a few months I was ready to dip my toes into the dating pool. It took me a while to join because after half my life, my partner and my best friend left unexpectedly last year. To lose them both was devastating.
I took time out to heal mind, body and spirit. After several months I decided I was ready to move on. It is a great site because it is a nice safe gentle way to meet Please cancel my dating membership, otherwise my new LovestruckLondon missus will kill me! Thanks, it's been fun and I met someone wonderful.
My friend placed me on Lovestruck London, and it was strange because the system they use to meet people is completely unique and does not feel like you are on the search for a London date. What's more, the people who contact you are pleasant and genuinely interested in finding a partner. After two weeks of exchanging emails, I eventually met my partner on Christmas Eve. I am so happy with her and cannot believe I found love on a website. If there are any cynics out there, think twice before Hey dudes, I hereby give you full authority to cancel my membership, I have met a lovely young lady on your London dating site and I wish to thank you for providing me with the opportunity.
In the world of email, messengers and the internet, it's hard to imagine that you could possibly find someone who'd match you perfectly. I was sceptical, at first, that I would find anything more than just a few dates and perhaps make some friends along the way on LovestruckLondon.
But I couldn't have been more wrong!
LovestruckLondon gave me the platform to find someone so special, so unbelievably warm and charismatic, that she stole my heart in the very instant we met. We've been seeing each Wow what an experience!
Thank you Lovestruck London for finding me someone special who I love to pieces. I never thought I'd meet anyone who ticks all my boxes, but I have and he is great! It's unbelieveable that the first person I meet up with from this London dating site is the person who I want to be with forever - I just knew that within minutes of meeting him that he was the one for me! The meaning of my life is that I want to share it with this special person who means the whole world to Hi, please delete my account as i met Mr Right after only 3 days of being on LovestruckLondon.
Please could you take my profile off the Lovestruck London dating site? You'll be pleased to know that I met someone via your site some months ago and we're planning on moving in together next month! So thank you very much, but I'm afraid that your success has lost you a customer! I just wanted to tell you that through LovestruckLondon I met the most amazing man - it was almost love at first 'site' - our paths would never have crossed in any other way and we both can't thank you enough.
We have now taken the big step and moved in together - quick we both know but that's broadband! So thanks tons and tons. Can you pleaseeee cancel my membership, as your dating site has turned out to be a huge hit! In the space of 2 days being on there, i've met a great guy.

He is exactly what i've been searching for. Thank you once again, you've been a great success xxx. I've now found someone on your site, so thanks and please cancel my Lovestruck London membership! I Tweetypie met my fiance Sven Svenito last year through your site. He was the first person I spotted on the first day I registered.
I managed to delete him by mistake by clicking the wrong button but your help desk kindly showed me how to get him back. Funnily, their email to me said 'you may have deleted your future husband by mistake Thank you very much - LovestruckLondon has served its purpose. Congratulations on a site well done!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic dating site! I have tried a few but Lovestruck. I have had a lot of dating fun since I joined. I figured 'what the heck? I had finally let myself get to the point of feeling ready to date after a big break-up and thought this would be a fantastic and casual way of getting back into the dating scene.
I did more than get back into the dating scene, I met the man who really is supposed to be my partner and future husband.

I feel like I'm at a point now where they should be the ones trying to woo me. I think I can spot your problem I don't think the problem is where this guy is looking Thanks man, that was funny.

After a particularly gloomy weekend, I decided that some no strings attached action sounded a lot better than no action at all. I joined Japan Cupid, a dating website and started combing through profiles of creeps, charisma men and thankfully, potentially interesting Japanese guys.
To my surprise, I got a lot of attention, especially from the ever so shy and elusive Japanese guys. Hidden behind their computer screens, they could now safely approach me. Most were also pretty international, could speak English and were looking for a chance to meet non-Japanese people.
I soon found myself having dinner with a string of attractive Japanese men — the same ones that would never approach me before. Most first dates were a bit nerve-wracking, as you are after all meeting a complete stranger or potential psychopath, but getting to know each other was quite easy. If conversation topics ran out, we could always talk about life in Japan or abroad, or worse case scenario, how good I was at using chopsticks. In a way, being from different cultural backgrounds made it easier to find things to talk about. If my dates were always very friendly, it was sometimes hard to tell if they were interested in me or not.
Where western guys would perhaps try to kiss you goodnight or try to invite themselves for a late night coffee, Japanese guys would awkwardly shake your hand, at most. I never had to make the first move back home, but I quickly understood that if I wanted anything to happen on the first date, I would have to put on my big girl pants. After a tough and manly karate coach turned into a pink shaking mess when I invited him back to my place, it became apparent that a subtle approach might work better.
I discovered hand holding and dark karaoke boxes did wonders with shy Japanese guys, giving them all the signals needed to take things further, i. One thing that surprised me the most was that online dating was not only for casual hook-ups and one night stands.
Though I admit I had my fair share of fun. Some guys were genuinely looking for a relationship, but found it difficult to meet people the traditional way, especially if they were interested in foreign girls. I did end up meeting three of my boyfriends online and about half of my friends also met their other halves the same way. For one, it takes time to find quality matches, especially on Tinder. You will also probably have your share of disappointing dates… but sometimes, you will also meet a great guy that will make it all worthwhile.
Time consuming, very little info to go on. A bit expensive, a few unsavoury gentlemen.
