Natural Friends

Ethical Dating Since 1985

What Our Members say

 
Thank you for your invitation for me to renew my subscription to Natural Friends.
In fact I will not be participating further as I have had the good fortune to meet (through Natural Friends) a delightful lady to whom I have become quite close.
Even though there were lots of adverts that did not hold any attraction for me, I guess it only takes one....
Needless to say I'm pretty pleased with the whole adventure!
Regards

Stuart

 
Dear Natural Friends,
I was a member of your organisation a few years ago for six months. I was looking through some correspondence recently and found your Updates, so I decided to write to you and let you know what happened during my time in Natural Friends. I did get to know one person as a friend who was rather cynical about the whole thing, but I can't believe that you run this as a business proposition only. I'm sure  you must be interested in what happens to your members.
I was attracted to quite a few people and despite a couple of setbacks (one being a meeting cancelled the day before by letter, due to a romance "suddenly" occuring with another Member!) I came to the end of my 6 months membership with a couple of good friends, both of whom I had met and got on really well with, and so I was happy to leave it at that.
I then received a letter from someone who had just joined and after a couple of months of writing to each other, we met.  Amazingly, to both him and me, we are still together and things are going really well. Despite the distance, we see each other alternate weekends and as we are both very independent people this is really a good arrangement for us both. We are so alike that we think we are the male/female versions of each other, and I cannot think af any other way than through Natural Friends that we could ever have met each other. I'd laways believed that there was no-one out there for me, and I was content to look for new friends through your organisation, so this was a vey unexpected but very welcome surprise!
I hope you have had many successes, and hope you continue to do so.
Kind regards,

Susan

 
Dear Friends,
Thanks to your organisation, I believe I have found my "Natural Friend". We have been seeing each other for 3 months and now plan to spend a holiday in the Cotswolds.
At 66 years of age I feel very lucky, but it just re-enforces what you have written about perseverence.  Age need not be an unsurmountable barrier.
I have already recommended Natural Friends to several people in my Ramblers group and will continue to do so.
Thank you once again for your organisation with such an amazing range of contacts.
Yours faithfully,

Barry

 
Dear Natural Friends,
How can we thank you? Through your wonderful network we have become united as loving soulmates. We can hardly believe that this miracle has happened to us in midlife, when many others would have given up the quest.
Keep up the good work - and please encourage others to persevere. What has happened to us can surely happen to others.
A million thank you's!
Sincerely,

Joe and Brenda

 
Dear Mrs. Bradshaw,
I met many (well about twelve) Natural Friends early on in my membership and soon entered into a relationship with one of them. We are shortly going to live together and I would be grageful if you will delete my entry from your records.
You may be interested to know that I also encouraged my ex-wife to join (we are still friends). She has found a new partner and is planning to get married next year through one of her contacts. In turn, her new fiance encouraged his ex-wife to join and she also had successful introductions. It all seems quite incestuous!
Yours sincerely,

John

 
Dear Barbara and James,
This is to say a large 'thank you' from two very satisfied customers and to ask you to cancel our membership and remove our ads.
We contacted each other a little over six weeks ago and are now very much in love and extremely happy.
Both of us were initially reticent about joining 'Natural Friends', but we shan't  hesitate to recommend your service to anyone in the future!
We'll always be very greatful that you made it possible for us to find one another.
With love and best wishes to you both,

Paul and Jane

 
Dear James and Barbara
This is a short note to ask you to cancel our memberships of Natural FRiends, and to say thank you for helping us to meet.
We both had a really good response from other Natural Friends to our adverts, but when we met each other in September we really seemed to get on very well. We have so many interests in common and are about as compatible as any two people can be. Our enjoyment of each other's company quickly turned to feelings of love for each other and we became engaged on New Year's Eve, We now plan to get married during this coming summer.
Once again thank you for helping to bring us together. Had it not been for Natural Friends, we would never have met and would not be experiencing the happiness that we now enjoy.
Yours sincerely.

Peter and Judy

 
Dear Barbara,
Although my Natural Friends membership has in fact run out, I wanted to write and let you know that I was very fortunate and did meet an extremely nice lady through making contact with the help of your organisation, and we have now formed a close relationship and are very happy. Both of us had spent years alone and couldn't quite believe we had met somone to start with, and think it is wonderful!
So thanks very much! keep up the good work, two more people you have hepled to make happy!
Yours sincerely,

Robert

 
Dear Barbara,
My membership of Natural Friends ran out last December but I kept meaning to write to say how much I enjoyed my year. I wrote to lots of members, and met a few, and although I didn't really expect anything serious to come of it (having very high standards where men are concerned!) - I met a wonder ful man, through you, in September - and we have been seeing each other ever since. Thank you for running such an efficient and sincere service - it is a refreshing change to find something where the main aim doesn't seem to be to make money!
Best wishes,

Lee

 
Dear Natural Friends,
We met on 21 March through Natural Friends and have been seeing each other regularly ever since. We have therefore decided not to renew our memberships.
Many other introduction/dating agencies are pretentious, they make a point of playing on the vanity of their clientele, charge a king's ransom for their services, and a good number of them collapse as businesses. By contrast, Natural Friends offers an affordable, no-nonsense, effective and reliable service, with a proven track record.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Natural Friends for bringing us together.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes,

Mark and Kathy

 
Dear Natural Friends,

In August 2008 I met Nick through your web site.  Our first date started in a Park and Ride car park in Cambridge.  I caught the bus and Nick was waiting in his car.  He'd sent me his registration number, and car colour and make.  We caught a park and ride bus together to the Botanic Gardens in Cambridge and spent an enjoyable few hours together.  We had a cup of tea in the cafe and Nick ate a macaroon.  Then Nick suggested going somewhere else and we decided to go to Wicken Fen via my house so I could change into walking shoes.  I sent a text message to a friend with Nick's number plate, just in case I suddenly disappeared, never to be seen again!  I'd written to Nick for a week before we met and his emails were very articulate and he sounded kind, intelligent and with a good sense of humour, all of these attributes I've since discovered that he does have. 

We had a lovely time at Wicken Fen and arranged to meet again the next day and Nick took me to the Norfolk coast.  This was over a year and a half ago and we've had some wonderful times together.  We went to the Lake District this and last Easter, have walked up Conniston Old Man and Craig Hil, and have also been to Snowdonia and have walked up Cadyr Idris.  Last Summer Nick very kindly took me, a large tent, my children and a caravan to France and the children stayed in the tent next to Nick's caravan.  At New Year Nick very kindly took me to Paris and we spent New Year's Eve at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, watching lights change colour on it, in rather cold weather!  Nick has also shown me Dokey Wood, where bluebells grow in profusion, and we've been to a site in the Chilterns full of wild orchids, life doesn't get any better than this!  Nick has an interest in natural history, and managed to find some yellow Witches' Butter growing on a tree in Dove Dale on halloween.  Nick has become a very good friend and I have very deep feelings for him.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet.

Kind regards,

Heather

 

 

Dear James and Barbara

In the summer of 2001 I met Pat through your magazine.  Up to that period I had had several meetings with different ladies, obviously with no success.  When Pat and I met we seemed to be compatible from our first meeting.  We were married one year later and have both enjoyed the ensuing years together.

We should not have met had it not been for “your services” with Natural Friends.  We have no hesitation in recommending your organization and have done this on several occasions.

Natural Friends was recommended to me by a lady who visited the Art Gallery where I was employed in 2001.  Not long after joining the organization Neville wrote to me and, after our initial meeting, it was clear that we shared many common interests and aspirations.  As Neville has said, we married one year later and have shared much happiness together.  Neville has also been a wonderful step-father to my son.

Wishing Natural Friends many years of continued success.

With best wishes

 

 

Neville and Pat

 

Hello again after 18 years! 

Nineteen years ago you found the ideal wife for me – thank you again ( I did at the time, I’m sure).  I was in the Hebrides and Elizabeth was in South Dorset and we’d never have met if she hadn’t had a patch of nettles in her garden and a keen gardener friend she was discussing them and life in general with also recommended Natural Friends!  We had eighteen marvellous years together but sadly a tumour in her brain took her away last March.  We had various problems with money shortage, family troubles, health and so on, but between us there were absolutely no problems at all – love and happiness all the way.

 Our boat brought us to Ireland, literally and metaphorically to this lovely area, and I’d like to share it with the right ‘Someone’.   I’m over the worst now, I very much hope, just the loneliness to cope with.   I so much liked being married to the right person that I’d now like to repeat the process again – I know I cannot ever find her double but someone with similar thinking, ideas, ideals would be great. 

Thank you again for bringing Elizabeth and me together. 

 

Q.

 
"But I want the grass on that side", says horse looking over the fence ---- and I did too! until I met Cliff on Natural Friends, and now we're grazing on the same meadow! And you know, he's not someone I could ever possibly have met without N.F. even though I always knew he was out there. We're both in our 50s & we've both found what we were looking for! How magical is that? Now we're busy with bringing our lives together as one.
We both send our heartfelt thanks to you for setting it up all those years ago (I was a snail-mail member once) and for keeping it going. It's the best (& only) sincere alternative dating site. It feels personal and respectful. And it works.
With love & best wishes for your health & happiness.

Marion and Cliff

 

 

Hello James and Barbara,

We thought you may like to hear of a success story regarding your NF site. 

We met each other on your site back in March 2006.  Both in our late 40's, Ian was a widower and I had been on my own for five years following a pretty awful divorce.    We exchanged e-mails through NF; got on extremely well, eventually meeting up face to face for the first time in June 2006.   After commuting between Bristol and Surrey for a few years, I moved in with him last summer.  I guess the rest is history.  We get married on October 17th here in Surrey which is now our home with our six children, friends and family sharing this very special day with us.

We would never have met had it not been for Natural Friends so from the
bottom of our hearts, we'd like to thank you for enabling us to meet and get to know each other in an environment where common ethics enable people like us to find each other.  Had we met anywhere else; we honestly don't think we would have been initially attracted to each other, our personalities are quite different and so the close and loving relationship that evolved wouldn't really have developed.  NF helped us to learn about each other's values on a far deeper level over the months which sowed the seeds for a richer closer friendship, one that will last a lifetime.

Thank you

Debs and Ian

 
Dear James and Barbara,

I am writing to let you know that I will not be renewing my current
subscription with you when it lapses at the end of this month as I have
been lucky enough to meet a wonderful person through your site. For the
last couple of months we have been getting to know each other and our
relationship just keeps getting stronger - we just have so much in
common. After talking fora while via email we decided to meet and I knew
I had met a very special person. We now have the beginnings of a strong
and loving relationship.

I would like you to know that I have absolutely no hesitation in
recommending your services to other people, especially over the much
larger dating sites.

Kindest Regards


Gary

 

Dear James and Barbara,
 
I have met a wonderful person through Natural Friends - I am writing to express my thanks to you both and also to let others know what a lovely site this is for meeting people that share similar values and thoughts about life.
 
After corresponding with some really super people on the site, I began to exchange notes with one particular member and we seemed to have so much in common - from our views on materialism, simplicity, family and ethical living to food, beliefs, dreams and sense of humour. We decided to meet for a coffee to see if we got on as well in person. We did - in fact we spent the whole day together. For the last couple of months we have been building on a strong foundation of shared values and principles for living and giving, as well as delight from sharing our time and new experiences. It feels very much like a begining of a very special partnership.
 
One of the things that I really valued about the Natural Friends site was that it was small, unique and focused - please stay this way for the benefit for others like me, who are ready to share their lives again.

With many thanks and  best wishes for continued success,
 

Emma

 
Dear James and Barbara,
                                By the time I had composed an amendment to my profile, my access to it had been blocked. So here is what I had drafted:-
         "A big thankyou to all who got in touch - more than two dozen in six months!
          I was so 'bombarded' at times that it was hard to keep up, but my typing speed has improved, and I have learned to read between, as well as along the lines we write. Enjoyable outings ensued with eight members to further investigate 'the chemistry'. I had tried, but couldn't describe a partner I sought, but when Penny and I met, I recognised someone special. She first wrote in December, and we now meet as often as we can. A good friendship is gently developing and we are enjoying the journey wherever it leads....
          So I won't be renewing my membership, but am very grateful to Barbara and James for devising this neat and effective system. It would be even more brilliant if everyone could find four photos that speak volumes about themselves.
          I was right to use the ambiguous phrase that I was 'fit enough to chase' after all!
                            With best wishes to you both,

Hi, This website has magic powers! Inside a week I’ve met someone I find amazing through Natural Friends, and now things will take their course, so I feel more comfortable taking my details off the page, hoping never to return, that is the whole idea isn't it?! Best wishes to anyone reading. My head’s spinning which is just what I joined for! I hope you find what you’re looking for too. Zac the Amazed!

Zac

 
Dear James and Barbara
 
Thank you for your email.  You will be pleased to know that ours is continuing to be a happy ending story.  Helen and my relationship is very strong at present.  We are in daily contact by phone and we try to to see each other at least every 2 months but often more frequently.  We are also planning a holiday together in September.  We are both a good support to each other.
 
Thank you again for running such a helpful website.
 
Best Wishes
 

Eric

 

 Hi James and Barbara,

 I was having a nostalgic look back at Natural Friends and checking the
 site still existed so I could recommend it to my cousin and I felt
 compelled to send you an email you.

I first met Al via your website in 2002 when we lived 100 miles apart. We
 moved in together in 2003 and married in a beautiful Quaker ceremony in
 2004.  This year we celebrate 5 years of blissful marriage and are as
 passionately in love now as we ever were ... more so. Not only do I have a
 wonderful husband but my daughters have a wonderful step-dad, too.

 Your website is MARVELLOUS and is the catalyst that has sparked the flame
 of thousands of successful love matches -

 Thanks so much!

  

 

  

Ruth and Al

 
Thank you for your lovely note. I'm besides myself with excitement because I wasn't expecting quite this result, but obviously we're trying to keep our feet on the ground! The whole experience of NF so far has been excellent, so thank you for the service you provide. My feedback would be that there are a lot of nice people on this site, and that the functioning of the website and the ease of use are really a credit to you.
 
For good or bad, I will let you know how we get on, but there's no point in not being confident, and you have done your bit so it's now down to us..........

Andrew

 


Dear James and Barbara

In November I had a bit of a moan to you about being sent matches from all over the country when I had filled in the boxes for Devon, Somerset and Dorset. I was looking initially for a walking companion, so wanted someone reasonably local. I must tell you that at the very end of my time with NF I had a match with a furniture maker in Cumbria.  He sounded nice so I sent him a message to that effect - pity he was so far away but wishing him luck in finding someone.  He didn’t think Cumbria to Devon was that far and we eventually met for a day out in Birmingham.  Since then we have managed to get together at his home or mine every month and are now planning for me to move up there in the new year 2009.  We were so lucky. We only overlapped at NF by a week and are now our lives are transformed.

Thank you so much for your part in this story.

 

 

John and Nicola

 
Dear James and Barbara,
 
Further to our last correspondence, there has been a bit of a cosmic u-turn - a girl from your site I was chatting to peripherally on and off some time ago has recently and suddenly developed into something very special. I now have a best friend, soulmate & lover thanks to natural-friends, which you may quote me on. Phew!
 
Thanks again - without your site this would not have been possible.
 
I wish you every success with your business & lives.
 

Rob

 
Dear natural Friends,
     It may be fate, providence or luck but thanks to your website we met in February 2004, fell in love the day we met and have been together, ecstatically happy, ever since. We wanted to share this joy with friends and family and got married in May this year.
     We are most grateful for your role in our finding each other. May Natural Friends continue to be a successful catalyst for true love for many years to come.
      Thank you again.

Ruth and Richard

 

Dear both,

 

We may both be the only single Quakers we know (in the right age range, location, sexuality etc), we might live only 60 miles apart, we might both be interested in the same things, we might even have been in the same building at the same time, but we might never have met but for Natural Friends. Thank you – we’re getting married next year.

 

Yours,

 

Elizabeth

 

I'm pleased to say that I've found this site very successful, so I'm removing my profile. I wish anyone reading this lots of luck in their search for the right person. It's not easy, but this site is more likely to put you in touch with like minded people. All the very best.

Liz

 

Thanks for looking, but NF seems to work, advertisers on here, unlike many sites, really do seem to be who they say they are. I'm now not looking to meet anyone new, as I see what turns out with someone who contacted me through NF. Good luck,

Chris

 

Scubadog sincerely hopes he has found his Scubagirl and would like to say thank you for the smiles and also send a big hug to all at Natural friends.Com . There are some wonderful people here so good luck everybody be honest, keep it real and have fun. All the best Jonathan

 

Hi, I would like to thank everyone for their e.mails over the last couple of months. This site is amazing, it is nice to know there are so many decent people out there. It has restored my faith in human nature! I have been lucky enough to meet someone through NF, and won't be answering any other emails. Good luck to everyone, Laura aka scubagirl x

Jonathan and Laura

 

Dear James and Barbara,

Thankyou for your recent reminder regarding the forthcoming expiration of my membership. I will not be renewing it for now, not because I am in anyway unsatisfied, more that I am! I have been lucky enough to have been in contact with some lovely people, two of whom I will be continuing to correspond with, having become I am sure, good friends. I took out membership as a birthday present to myself- and it has been one of the most memorable and enjoyable I have ever had! Many thanks again.

 

Liz

 

Thank you for your reminder, but I do not need to renew my account as I have now met my match.........he's wonderful ,and all I could ask for.... and we're off to Paris for Easter....how great is that..........?

I'm recomending you to all !

So please delete all records,and no more reminders.

Dear James & Barbara

 

We met through Natural Friends in August 2006 and have been together ever since. We got engaged in July 2007 and are planning to get married this August. We thank you for your excellent website giving us the chance to become soulmates at the age of 55.

 

Thanks  again for the service you provide. 

 

Maggie & Nigel

 

Dear James and Barbara,

 

Just to let you know that finally my prince journeyed to the wild north to claim me.

 

I can't express how thankful I am to Natural Friends for providing a medium through which we could meet.  He lives in Wales.

 

I had total clarity about what I wanted and did a lot of manifestation work.  He is everything that I wanted and more. It feels like a miracle.

 

Thankyou a hundred times.

 

With love from

Kate

 

My advice is, keep trying, and keep an open mind about who you would be interested in. I recently renewed my membership for the third time, with fairly low expectations. And I've recently met (via NF) the man with whom I hope to spend the rest of my life. So, he's two inches shorter than me - the rest of him is just great. We never would have met without NFas our homes, lives, jobs etc are poles apart. So, don't give up, and I hope that you'll be as happy as we are!

 

Christine

 

 

Dear James and Barbara,

Thank you for the reminder, but I will not be renewing membership.
I actually got into e-mail contact with someone soon after my profile
appeared. We met up in July and have been seeing one another since. Looks
like this may be 'it'...... a deep and wonderful friendship is developing -
we are going to wait for a few further months to see where we go, but both
feel very positive that things will go on getting better!
Hope this might redress the balance of successes after 60 being less
frequent. At 62 and 65 it hopefully shows that age is no barrier in NF !
I'll let you know -
And thank you again for a wonderful service - I've used it several times
over the past few years and met and maintained some good friends.

All the best

Jinny Deutsch

 
Just to let you know that Nick and I got married on 22nd March. We met last year for the first time on 23rd March after contacting each other on Natural Friends!

Nick

 

Both Neil and I feel that Natural Friends is the best friendship organisation of its kind. The type of people it attracts are a class on their own. We have both met and made some good friends which we will stay in contact with. After all, that is what it is all about. Thank you for the idea of Natural Friends, for all your time and effort because without you, we would never have found each other.

Sally J - Birmingham, England

 

Here's another 'happy ending' for you files! Mark and I got married on November 25th, our four children acting as witnesses.

I had e-mailed Mark in July on the very day he joined Natural Friends and I was his first response! I bombarded him with so many e-mails I made sure he didn't have time for anyone else!

We embarked on a fast and furious courtship over the Internet with lots of humour and plenty of insight into each other's character. Our first telephone conversation was a little strained but we persevered and finally Mark made a six-hour journey to take me out on a date that stretched over the weekend and into the following week!

We knew instinctively that we were a perfect match and were delighted when my teenage son met him and gave his seal of approval! Quite a few people remarked on how very much 'alike' we were, both in looks and personality. The question was, where to go from here? I was in Lancashire, Mark was in Suffolk.

Mark's wife died three years ago, and I had been through an unhappy marriage so we both felt that as we were in our 50's, life was precious and we should grab happiness with both hands. I made the decision to move in with Mark there was an excellent local school for Stephen and I was nearer my parents in Norfolk.

Having only known each other since the July we felt we should wait a respectable time and marry in the following April. My stepson thought this was crazy and we didn't need much persuasion to tie the knot.

The Natural Friends Internet connection was ideal for two people who lived very busy lives but had little opportunity to meet new faces. It was spontaneous, immediate and surprisingly insightful; from a woman's point of view it was also very safe! I have passed on the good news to a few single ladies, so fingers crossed.

A big thank you to you both

Fiona and Mark

 

Dear James & Barbara,

Thankyou for your reminder about membership subscription. I have been meaning to write and let you know my situation. After having joined in Aug. I was contacted by several friends and had one meeting and although we got on quite well we both knew it wasn't to be.

However, I went into the chatroom one evening and met David...incidentally neither of us could cope with the speed with which replies had to be given and we gave up and resorted to normal e-mail. After several messages we decided to meet and just clicked instantly. Neither of us imagined that it would happen that way, dismissing those to whom it did as easily pleased! But it has and we are extremely happy and full of plans for the future. I have recommended your site to others and hope that they too will find friendship or even a soulmate. We would obviously both like our profiles removed from the site and wish other members lots of luck.

Elaine & David

 

I haven't rejoined because I have met someone very special through your site.
I'd like to thank you for such a great service. I made lots of other friends and I would recommend Natural Friends to anybody looking for a special friendship.

Don

 

Hi James, thanks for your help, I have my mail box back. I am very impressed that your organisation is so committed to helping people and providing such a good service. I will keep my account up to date in future. Thanks again.

Carol

 

Hi, thanks for the cheque. Everything is going fantastically well. We both feel we've found our soulmate - very scary after knowing each other so little time, but wonderful too. So keep up the good work! By the way, it was his profile on the list of examples for non-member browsing that you were showing at that time that made me want to join NF.

Trish

 

Dear James and Barbara

Please will you withdraw my profile. Through Natural Friends I have met Linda; she flew over from the USA last weekend, we fell in love and have planned a future together.

Many thanks

Peter

 

Dear James and Barbara

What a clever old site you've got!  I only wrote to 4 people - met one, we were both struck with Cupid's
dart and are now going to trip the light fantastic. 

Mike and I are very happy to have found each other and are going to spend the rest of our lives having an
excessive amount of fun and laughter (we hope).

This may sound rather euphoric and may even have a touch of hyperbole, but we have spoken long and hard about all the important things we want in our lives and have actually been rather serious about it all -
just in case you are worried that we are being rather previous.

Could you please remove my profile from the database now as I no longer need to be on there! 

Many thanks for the excellent service and site - I hope you continue to have such success.

Yesterday Mike proposed to me in Waitrose as I was holding an organic cabbage - we will let you know the
outcome (the cabbage was delish!)

Many kind regards

Milly

 

Dear James and Barbara

After meeting lots of lovely NF's I have had the marvellous good fortune to have met member 1332 and we love each other dearly and would like to cancel our memberships asap.  Her name is Milly and she will send you an e-mail to confirm her side of things too!

We will let you know when we become married people! (quite soon if Milly has her way!)

I think NF is an excellent way to meet people and I have made several new friends in the process - even that would have been worthwhile but to have found each other was . . .

Thanks for your help

MIKE

 

Dear James,  (one for the books)

Just to let you know that  Amanda and I met through Natural Friends. You may well remember me around the 11/02/00 trying to contact her. Well, after several E-mails we finally met and it was love at first sight. We have now been together for several weeks and its fantastic and we intend to go on seeing each other. Barbara may have to buy a hat !!!! 

Sincerely,

Edward

 

Hello!

I'm Member NF712 on your website.  I'm rather enjoying the experience: it feels like being on a small campsite at the beginning of the season. You recognise everyone, even if you haven't yet said hello to them.

NF712

 

Thank you !

and by the way I think natural friends is great !! and such reasonable cost - I have just recommended it to two friends.

 

Hello James,

Just wanted to thank you for all your help. The website is excellent, and I've had two replies and one email out of the blue... they all seem interesting people so far! I did try another website a few weeks ago, but I
heard nothing from anyone in three weeks, so you're beating them hands down.

Thanks again.

Cathy

 

Dear James and Barbara

I will not be renewing my membership, as thanks to Natural Friends I have met someone and am currently getting to know him.

This is the first time I have used any type of introduction agency and I am very pleased indeed!

Kind regards

Joanne

 

Just to say that, whilst I'm not renewing my membership, I'd like to thank you for running such a good service. I'm not sure that I've found love, but I've made some good friends - and it's restored my faith that
there are loads of good, genuine people out there.

Sorry I've been a bit slow responding - have been on holiday for a few days with my "new man" and then it was back to work and try to get back into the real world! We are both willing for you to use our story as encouragement for others. After all, it was reading good news on your "non-member" Internet pages that got me onto joining in the first place. Has to be said that we both had responses from possible contacts who were unwilling to travel more than an hour or so and there are certainly logistical problems to overcome. But e-mail has proved invaluable (we opted to go "private" quite early on!).

All the best to you and all Natural Friends

Dear James and Barbara

I am not renewing my membership because you have a fully satisfied customer! I received a number of very interesting replies to my profile but the very first one proved to be a winner. Jane and I have been "together" both through E-mail initially and then met up with great success, despite the fact that we live 700 miles apart. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we won't need to become "Natural Friends" again. Many thanks from us both!!

 

Dear natural Friends

Just to let you know - I have met several interesting women through your network in the last 2 months and now have a very special relationship with one of them. Thank you so very much for your service

Hopefully I shall not have to rejoin! I also passed your contact onto another friend of mine who has also found someone special. It really is extraordinary - the quality of the contacts is so much higher than other "ordinary" networks.

Dear James & Barbara,

Last July Richard & I (Julie) became members of N/F, and began writing to one another, and then we meet for the first time (Saturday 2nd September 2000) and never look back. We did write to you both before at the end of our membership, to tell you that we had fallen in love.…

There is more good news to share with you both Richard as ask me to Marry him and be his wife and said YES I WILL. Next year August 10th. We are very much in LOVE with each other.

Thank You once again for N/F

Take Care

Julie & Richard

 

Dear James & Barbara,

Thanks for your E-mail. Just a quick reply to tell you that I've met somebody through Natural Friends and we're very much in love. I think your service is wonderful and I'll be recommending it to all!

Many thanks,

Ian

 

I've renewed my membership. Just want to say that Natural Friends is brilliant and there are some lovely people out there. Thanks so much for all your work in making it happen.

Good wishes

Dear James and Barbara

I will not be renewing my subscription because, thanks to you, I have met someone absolutely wonderful! She was the very first person to contact me and it is like a dream come true.

I will definitely be recommending Natural Friends to others. I was overwhelmed by the initial response to my profile. My spur of the moment decision to join was rewarded by immediate contact with so many like minded people.

Many thanks

Tom

 

Dear James and Barbara,

Thank you for reminding me that my membership to Natural Friends will expire soon. I will not be renewing my membership as I have met someone special thanks to Natural Friends. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for providing a discreet and friendly meeting place where I got the chance to chat with and meet some really genuine and caring people.

Regards

Ali

 

Dear James and Barbara,

We'd like to say a big 'Thank You' for creating the Natural Friends internet site - and making it possible for us to find each other.

When we started corresponding by email at the beginning of September, we never dreamt that things would turn out as well as they have. We have so much in common, especially a love of mountains and walking.

Since then we've exchanged more than 70 emails, and spent many happy hours on the phone. We met a month later and, after sharing a bottle of wine on top of Cadair Idris, have never looked back.
