If you’ve made it this far, thank you. I built this page to share the long road that led me here – something most people never hear when they’re just scrolling through profiles. This isn’t just another dating profile. It’s the story behind why I decided to do something different.
Where It All Started
My dating journey began back in 2010, when dating apps didn’t even exist. Like many others, I started on websites like eHarmony, Plenty of Fish, and OkCupid, hoping to meet someone who wanted a real relationship.
What I didn’t expect was how difficult that would be. In those early years, I found myself navigating fake profiles, bots, and conversations that went nowhere. But I kept showing up, believing that somewhere out there, someone else was looking for something real too.
The Rise of the Apps
As time went on, dating apps exploded – starting with Tinder, then Bumble, Hinge, and many more. Like most people, I gave them all a shot. I went on dates, had conversations, and matched with women from all kinds of backgrounds. Some were great people, but most didn’t lead anywhere lasting.
I even tried faith-based apps like Christian Connection, CatholicMatch, and Salt, hoping they might be different. But many had too few people locally or too many barriers just to connect.
After years of trying almost every platform available, I started to realise that most dating apps aren’t built for people like me – people who want something serious and lasting. They’re designed to keep you swiping, not help you commit.
Why I Built This Site
I reached a point where I knew I had to step outside the noise of dating apps and do something different. This website is that step.
It’s my way of saying:
“I’m serious. I’ve tried. And I still believe this can work.”
If you’ve read this far and feel like you’re looking for something real too, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s see where this could lead.
