If you are over 50 and suddenly finding yourself back on the singles market may sound like a daunting experience. But in fact this might be the best time of your life to meet someone new.

More and more women in particular, are now finding themselves alone later in life, whether due to divorce or a partner’s untimely death.

Far from just accepting that their life is over, statistics show that single, older and more mature ladies seem to be more open to the possibility of a new relationship.

Here at Introductions UK Ltd, the over 50’s age group has been our fastest growing age group for the last couple of years. Our experience, here at Introductions UK confirms this trend.

With children grown up, more time on their hands, both ladies and gents rethink the rest of their lives. They still have a lot of life to lead and a lot of love to give.

Marie, aged 58, who has recently joined Introductions UK, had been married for 26 years and went through a divorce last year. Joining Introductions UK has given Marie the opportunity to meet a whole new set of friends. Marie was most concerned about security and she had heard one or two horror stories about gents found on the internet. Here at Introductions UK Ltd, we take security very seriously and we conduct various identification and security checks on every new member. Our service is a very personal and discrete way to meet new people and the majority of our clients are looking to find that special someone for a long-term commitment.

Marie has dated 3 gentlemen up to now and has really enjoyed the experience. It has given Marie more confidence about “dating” again and there is one gentleman in particular that she is rather keen on. Marie’s Personal Matching Consultant is in regular contact with Marie and we are hoping that this 3^rd introduction is a success for her.

Marie is really pleased that the made the effort to start dating again. It is very easy not to do anything to meet new people but Marie did not want to be on her own for the rest of her life.

So if you find yourself in a similar situation, whatever your age, then Introductions UK would be happy to discuss your personal requirements.

Please give our team of Personal Matching Consultants a call on 0845 9002952 or 0800 0962457

Introductions UK are delighted to say that we have had our best ever February in terms of successful matches and clients ringing with their success stories. We love to share these happy stories with as many people as we can. Here are just a couple of their stories:-

Mick and Lydia (aged 50’s)

Mick, in his 50’s, a Manager for a shipping company, joined Introductions UK Ltd in April of last year. Mick has really enjoyed his membership with Introductions UK and has made one or two friends along the way before finally meeting the lady he would like to spend the rest of his life with.

Mick received a phone call from his Personal Matching Consultant Denise asking him to call the office so that we could tell him about a relatively new member Lydia. Mick loved the sound of Lydia’s profile immediately and gave Denise the go-ahead to send out her details. Each profile is approximately 3 pages long, including full details of hobbies and interests and an up to date photograph.

After receiving each other’s profiles, Mick and Lydia made contact and arranged to meet for their first date at a local bistro. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and they have now been dating on a regular basis for 4 months. Both Mick and Lydia have suspended their memberships with Introductions UK Ltd and their respective Personal Matching Consultants are thrilled to hear that they are getting on so well. All of us here at Introductions UK Ltd wish them all the luck in the world.

Sally and Will aged 30’s

Sally is a Management Consultant in her 30’s, single and with no ties. During the last few years Sally has concentrated on building up her career and has dabbled a little on the internet. Feedback we have received from Sally is that the gents she was meeting through the internet seemed to be more interested in casual dating, plus she was a little worried over security.

Here at Introductions UK Ltd, we take security very seriously. Every member is interviewed by their own Personal Matching Consultant and security and identification checked. All our members are looking for a more long-term partnership, someone special, and join Introductions UK as an investment in their future.

Sally rang the office this week to let her Personal Matching Consultant know that she has been regularly dating Will. As a College Lecturer, Will never seemed to find the time to devote to finding himself a new girlfriend and with the big “40″ getting nearer all the time, he felt he needed to invest some time and energy in meeting a lady that he could settle down with. After talking to his friend who had met his wife through Introductions UK a couple of years previously he finally picked up the courage to call the office and have a discussion with one of our Personal Matching Consultants. Will now admits it was the best decision he ever made.

Will and Sally met for a meal at a local restaurant and they both felt relaxed and the time went really quickly. After a brief discussion they agreed to meet again the same week and a few dates down the line they felt they had met their soulmate. Sally and Will have already recommended our service to their friends and we believe Introductions UK Ltd receive more referrals than any other Introduction Agency.If you would like to speak to a Personal Matching Consultant to discuss your requirements for a partner then please do call us on 0800 0962457 and we would be happy to let you know how many introductions we could offer you, in and around your area.

Introductions UK Ltd is more than just a dating agency. The Personal Matching Consultants who are responsible for matching have years of experience and success behind them. Where other dating agencies treat you as just a number, Introductions UK Ltd, a Professional Introduction Agency treat you as a valued client and friend. We make it our business to get to know you and what is important to you in a partner. We make sure your business is our business.

Introductions UK Ltd match you based on your compatibility in the most important areas of your life – such as your intelligence level, sense of humour, values and key beliefs in life.

I have been a Senior Personal Matching Consultant for over 17 years and me and my team have been responsible for creating hundreds and thousands of long lasting relationships. It is not simply about dating, our experience in working out what makes couples in a relationship compatible is the key to our success. We understand what makes a great relationship.

Today I had the great pleasure in interviewing a gentleman widower in his 60’s. He has embraced his membership with Introductions UK with a positive and upbeat attitude.

I would like to share with you some of the comments I personally made to his profile during his interview. (Due to data protection I have at this point changed his name for security reasons)

“Mike comes over as one of the most charming and pleasant gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to speak to. He is full of humour, a zest for life and lots of fun - plus he has a lifetime of interesting stories to relate. Mike is very fit and active and enjoys walking and swimming. Included in Mike’s interests are his love of music, travel and eating out. Mike would love to meet a lady companion for regular outings and to share life’s ups and downs. Mike believes everybody is special in life and we all have something to offer and for him, personality is the most important factor in a lady.

I highly recommend meeting Mike – he is a true gentleman.”

I know already that Mike will be successful in his search for a lady companion. He just has the right attitude. He is happy to be open and flexible and knows that as time is precious using the services of a highly reputable Introduction Agency makes sense. I have in mind several ladies that Mike may like to meet and over the next couple of weeks I shall present each one to him personally. If Mike feels it is appropriate I shall then contact each lady in turn and confirm that they are happy for Mike to contact them by phone. I shall of course provide a full 2 page profile of each lady to Mike including a recent colour photograph and send Mike’s personal profile to each lady in return.

I am sure Mike will not be single for long but in the meantime I shall really enjoy working with him as a team to find him that very special someone with whom he can move forward in life.

If you would like to discuss your requirements for a partner and you are aged anywhere between 25 and 75 then please do call us on 0800 0962457.

At last spring is in the air, at least it is in the Introductions UK office - if not as yet outdoors. Half term is over and the kids are back to school. If you are a single parent and on your own, now is the time to start thinking ahead with Spring on its way and the Summer to look forward to.

The dating scene is scary enough without children to think of, but as a single parent you need to take special care when meeting new people. The dating experience is so time-consuming and as we all know, time is often a scarce resource, even more so for single parents. Telling a gent that you are a single parent can also scare them off.

At Introductions UK Ltd, we have been successfully matching single parents with new partners since 1991. Our Personal Matching Consultants will make sure that your dating experience is a good one and a safe one.

Firstly, we will spend time getting to know you. This is important so that we know exactly the type of person you are, what you value most in life and what you feel is important to you in a partner. During the telephone interview we will have plenty of time to discuss your requirements in great detail.

All of our clients are security checked and provide us with a minimum of two forms of identification. You can feel safe in the knowledge that the gentlemen you will be introduced to will have gone through and passed all of our checks. Not only that, but here at Introductions UK we will only match you with gentlemen who will welcome your children and have true family values.

That way you know from the start that the gentlemen you meet will know and understand that you do come as a package. Many gents have children of their own too.

So if you are facing the prospect of a lonely Spring and Summer, think again and have a chat with one of our Personal Matching Consultants. There is no obligation but it may help to discuss your situation personally with a Consultant and see if we can help you.

Introductions UK are one of the most successful and well-established Introduction Agencies in the UK with an enviable track record of success.
