We are often asked how successful friendsfirst is?

What our members say about relationships they have made through us

“Things are going really well thank you. One of the men I’ve met through friendsfirst and I are getting on very well. In fact more than that. He sent a large bunch of flowers to my work (in front of everyone!) for Valentines day and the feelings are reciprocated. Nothing has been said yet but it’s all going well.” (Joan, 60 – Local Govt officer)

“I wrote to you last year and let you know that through becoming a member of friendsfirst in Feb. 2007, I had met a wonderful lady whose friendship and love has become increasingly very special to me. I still am receiving regular mail from your office but as a very satisfied and happy former Member there is no need for this. Perhaps you could kindly amend you files accordingly! I promise to let your Office know if/ when a marriage date is set, because I shall always be appreciative for the way that God used friendsfirst to bring the two of us together.” (Cedric, 54 -Church minister)

“Thank you for being the means by which the Lord has brought us together” (Paul, 65 - Retired)

“Thanks to friendsfirst, I feel sure that I’ve now met that very special person for me … and I’m accordingly most grateful” (Clive, 54 - Church Minister)

Re:  friendsfirst “Yes, it works. Even if you don’t find a partner through F.F the whole process of thinking about yourself, drawing up a profile and then contacting and being contacted by potential partners helps you decide what you really want, both in a partner but also more broadly in life as a whole. More importantly, the motto of friendsfirst is key. Katherine and I are now engaged but we were friends first – for up to about 24 hours. My advice is to use Friends First to make friends – and then leave the rest to God – to place it all in God’s hands and God will work it out” And THANK YOU, LOVE TO YOU ALL “    (Andrew, 50 - Pilgrimage Guide)

"I believe I have met my soul mate through your agency! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supplying God with a vehicle in which people can meet friends and partners. It is such an important service, and I'm certain God will continue to bless it! Once again thank you!" (Peter – Telesales)

"I am writing to ask you to remove my profile from your mailing list – for the very best of reasons. The first person I contacted from the first set of profiles has turned out to be God's choice for me. And in case you were wondering – he agrees. We will let you know when there is anything formal to declare, which will be fairly soon. Thank you so much for your service – you were definitely part of God's plan for our lives and I will continue to recommend your service to all my friends. May God bless you – and friendsfirst greatly in the future."

(Margaret – Physio)

“friendsfirst membership couldn’t have worked better in my case although it’s probably unusual to have met the right man so quickly. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet and hopefully there will be many more who find happiness through friendsfirst.”  

(Mary, 32 – Cash office assistant)

"I'm writing to you because I'm glad to say I met Phil about 4 months ago. Things are going really well and I would like to 'freeze' my profile till the end of the year, as I feel it's not fair to other members that want to get in contact with me. Phil was the first guy I met, so it's been very easy for me! Thank you for making this happen for us and I hope there is continued success in the future for other members."

(Liz, 32 - Cash Assistant)

"I've been seeing Susan over the past couple of weeks and we're very happy together so it doesn't seem fair to remain on your books. Please will you stop circulating my profile." (Rob - 36 - Teacher)

"Could you please cancel or put on hold my membership. I have met someone special through friendsfirst." (Hazel - 45 - Office Worker)

"Please will you cancel my membership to friendsfirst as I have recently met someone very special with whom I am building a strong relationship. Many thanks for your helpful, professional service." (John - 35 - Engineer)

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for friendsfirst. I have met someone from the agency and would like you to kindly delete me from your mailing list. We know we are right for each other. Thanks again as this was my last attempt of finding love."

(William - 36 - Finance Assistant)

"I am writing to thank friendsfirst for bringing me into contact with a lovely lady. In a matter of 3 months we have become extremely fond of each other. We are looking forward to sharing the future together, which promises to give us both a 'new lease of live' and much happiness. Therefore, please suspend my membership. Thank you again for your efficient service in providing many interesting profiles and resulting correspondence. I have felt confident in recommending your friendsfirst to someone else."  (Gordon - 74 - Graphic Designer)

"I am writing to convey my personal thanks to you and your organisation friendsfirst for being the means that God has used to introduce myself to a girl called Sophie. Our friendship has blossomed since I last wrote to you and we determined to keep it very much as friends first before officially deciding to 'go out'. It is still early days in our relationship but we are overcoming the problems of the distance between us and I am hoping that ultimately we will get engaged next year. May I thank you for providing such an excellent service and may God continue to bless your work." (Peter - 35 - Civil Servant)

"I am writing to tell you of some recent good news regarding someone I have met through your service. His name is Brian. We started corresponding through email and later met. Our friendship has developed into a strong relationship and we have fallen in love with each other. Please therefore remove our names and cancel our membership. Thank you very much for your service and I pray that it will continue to bring people together in the same way that it has us. God bless and thank you again." (Natalie - 28 - Civil Servant)

"Please removed my details from your mailing. I am curretnly going very steady with another of your members and we are very happy together. Thanks for your hlep, its the best money I've ever spent!"

(Robert - 40 - Insurance officer)
