Whilst there's a lot going on, we have never forgotten the one thing that makes falling in love special - the sheer romance of it all.We're incurable romantics ourselves (that's we set up a free dating site in the first place) and we just love seeing relationships blossom, friendships form, and marriages result.

We were not set up as a business, but set up to try to make a genuine difference in people's lives.

As Shakespeare understood so well, the spirits come alive on this special, magical night.

In fact folklore has it that charms and divinations, predictors of love, will work on this night alone.

This means that even if you haven't met and fallen in love with one of our members yet, you'll be meeting new friends along the way. Members propose a meetup - it could be a theatre trip, pub visit, walk in the country or anything really. There have been literally hundreds of meetups throughout the UK and all over Europe since we've been offering this service.

One of the things that our members find surprising, is that they went in search of love, but found dozens of genuine lasting friendships as well. Why not join us to find out what's going on in your area?We were nominated as Steve Wright's Web Site of the Day (BBC Radio 2) and a year later we got the accolade again!
