Has anyone else heard of this, it is a dating site for older people. A son, daughter, friend, cousin etc puts a persons name forward to this site. It is worth a peruse. the address is as above.

It is a relatively new site and small so no funds for advertising. have a look, someone may be made very happy.

Ana Tue 26-Mar-13 18:30:00

Don't like the sound of that! grin
So your children could decide that you needed a man and just put your name on the list....

Ella46 Tue 26-Mar-13 18:32:13

I saw it in the DM. It seemed ok, you have to join together, with your family member.

Anne58 Tue 26-Mar-13 18:41:37

That's all right then! grin

Ana Tue 26-Mar-13 18:42:11

Oh...still not sure though, you'd come as a sort of family package, wouldn't you? But if it makes for some happy relationships then it can't be bad.

Ella46 Tue 26-Mar-13 18:42:46

I won't be joining! grin

Ella46 Tue 26-Mar-13 18:43:43

No, Ana, the family member doesn't go on the books, they just introduce you grin

Ana Tue 26-Mar-13 18:49:12

You seem to have looked into this quite thoroughly, Ella! wink

Galen Tue 26-Mar-13 19:34:25

No way!

Flowerofthewest Tue 26-Mar-13 22:32:16

Yes the family member or friend introduces you - they don't go on the books. Or the friend who is 'looking' may ask someone to introduce them to the site. That may work.

BTW I am a very happily married woman and not looking at all.

Ella46 Tue 26-Mar-13 22:44:49

I am a happily unmarried woman wink, I just read the article!

Ana Tue 26-Mar-13 22:55:06

I know you are Ella - only teasing! smile

Is it just for elderly people who are too gaga to do it themselves so they have to be introduced by a relative? How ridiculous.

Flowerofthewest Wed 27-Mar-13 12:10:34

wink grin Ella

Flowerofthewest Wed 27-Mar-13 12:11:36

Don't think so absent - not too sure why it was set up. Will add it to my investigating list hmm

Madrigal Wed 27-Mar-13 12:21:25

I think it's a bit like Sara Beeny's mysinglefriend website. The idea is that someone else sings your praises and tells others what a fine person you are. I have dropped hints to my kids about this site but they haven't taken me up on it!

Nonu Wed 27-Mar-13 12:21:43

Do not think it is for GA GA people , more likely for those who may be a bit hesitant.

Perhaps the relative feels they are doing a good turn for some one who may
be lonely .

sunshine here and quite a lot of it .

Ana Wed 27-Mar-13 12:25:11

I don't like the thought that someone could sign up a relative without their knowledge, though...hmm

Nonu Wed 27-Mar-13 12:28:16

Agree , but maybe the relative does know.

wink

Ana Wed 27-Mar-13 12:29:08

Well yes, that would be OK of course.

Ella46 Wed 27-Mar-13 12:53:22

I don't think they can Ana.
