In the wise words of Hugh Grant in Love Actually: 'If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is all around.’ So that must be why a massive one in five of us now use dating sites.

One of our customers, Katie Elizabeth Price met her partner on Tinder. Katie lived in Barrow in Furness and got talking to Callum Jones who lived in Preston. They met in person in August 2016 after speaking for three weeks. They continued a long-distance relationship...70 miles in fact. Nine months later, they made the big decision to move in together in Upholland in Skelmersdale and their relationship is still going strong today…although Callum is in the army and has been posted 250 miles away, they still find ways to keep in touch using the internet until he comes back home.
