You found love on Smartdate?
Luc_laurianne

Luc (26) and Laurianne (28), Épinal

Luc: "I met with Laurianne on Smartdate a few months ago…and I would like to thank this Web site! I felt in love with her picture. It took a little while to break the ice since we are both very shy! But I did better on the following steps…"
Laurianne: "Nothing else to say, this is exactly what happened!"

Cecile

Cécile (35), Aix-en-Provence

Cécile: "I was never really into dating Web sites. I finally registered one night, when I was a little depressed. And it was revealing: it is such a great way to meet other people! I should have started a long time ago! I am not looking for anything serious, but I did meet great people! I can’t wait for the next one…"

Aurelie_donatien

Aurélie (32), Créteil and Donatien (29), Antony

Aurélie: "We both live in the suburbs of Paris, it's not very easy for us to meet people...I used to date online a lot, but I have to admit it was much more efficient on Smartdate! I've met dozens of nice men, but Donatien got me because he looked very open-minded and cheerful."
Donatien: "I like kind and natural-looking women, so that I immediately liked Aurélie! Besides we live quite close from each other, your site really made a great job!"

Jacqueline_fred

Jacqueline (34) and Fred (33), Bordeaux

Jacqueline: "A friend had told me about Smartdate as the « new Meetic ». My mailbox was immediately awash with messages. Even though at the very beginning, I did not fully believe in it, I finally registered as a Premium Member. Fred caught my attention as his profile was sincere and he seemed very gentle on his photos.
First we exchanged messages, then our telephone numbers. Actually, everything came naturally and very easily, I think it is like this when something important is supposed to happen. This is our first photo taken during a weekend for two in Bruges, it’s now one month ago that we got to know each other, but I have the impression it’s rather one or two years already!"
Fred: "Don’t hesitate. Sometimes you need to force fate in order to find a woman you like. Afterwards, everything seems natural – that this happens on the internet does not mean that chance does not have its part!"

Sarah_hassan

Sarah (25), Marseille and Hassan (29), Valence

Hassan: "We met three months ago on Smartdate. She'd never been on a dating site before, so she was luck she found me! I really liked Noémie at first sight : we live quite close to each other, plus we work in the same sector. It seems the SmartSearch works pretty well...'"

Stephanie_joshua

Stéphanie (31) and Joshua (33), Paris

Stéphanie: "I had been deeply affected by my divorce, and I had been single for 2 years. And then it took just a few clicks to turn my whole life around... I’ve seen a Smartdate ad on Facebook and I took a chance. Joshua was the first one to send me a virtual bunch of roses, and actually, I liked that very much... he was really cute and I said « yes » when he proposed me to visit the Musée d’Orsay at night. I will help him to improve his French, he’s been living in Paris for just 1 year now. He’s my American in Paris!"

Christelle_nilo

Christelle (33) and Nilo (39), Paris

Nilo: "Christelle and I met through friends of friends. The connection took time to  really become solid since we were both from different cultures. Thankfully,  I was familiar with her region in France and she was familiar with my  hometown, New York City.  I am not sure if it would've worked if it had not  been for our mutual desire to learn more about each other's culture. Now,  because of Smartdate, we are living in Paris enjoying and appreciating each  other's company more than ever."

Shoichi_sarah

Shoichi (36), San Francisco and Sarah (24), San Jose

Sarah: "We must be the first American Smartdaters! We were so surprised when we saw that both of us lived in San Francisco's Bay...maybe that's why we had such a feeling. We used to date but now it's a real relationship, both of us want the same things in life. I'm really happy I registered!"
Shoichi: "Friends told me about Smartdate a long time ago ; I found the site really cool, and girls are so pretty! Sarah and I moved on quite naturally, although she's much younger. She's very mature, I'm convinced it's the beginning of a long love story."

Florence_hubert

Florence (30) and Hubert (35), Saint-Brieuc

Florence: "We met on Smardate, through a common friend… I know it sounds funny! Hubert found me among the friends of this friend on Facebook. I wasn’t register on Smartdate but he invited me to join. I liked his picture and decided to join, just to see what’d happen. It was a good move!"
Hubert: "I found her using the search “friends of friends”. It was easy; she was by far the prettiest! It’s strange because we could easily have met in real life. It just happened that we did online. I guess it was written!"

Julie_michael

Julie (27), Orthez and Michael (33), Pau

Julie: "I am surprising myself by submitting a testimonial on dating Web site…but I owe so much to Smartdate! Michael and I met in March. It was love at the first sight, only digitally. We started chatting a lot. Thankfully he had a Premium account and we were able to keep talking. Without it, we probably wouldn’t be together!"
Michael: "We met very quickly. I was actually very surprised, since it usually takes longer for a man to meet someone on a dating Web site."

Soraya_mike

Soraya (28) and Mike (30), New-York

Soraya: "I just moved in New York City, so I registered on Smartdate because dating websites are always a good way of meeting people. In The US people really use a lot these sites, I wasn't very surprised of receiving so many messages! I really like Mike, but we just began dating...let's see how things turn out!"
Mike: "I've surfed a lot on dating websites, in the US everybody does so....I instantly felt something with Soraya, and when we actually met for the first time, I couldn't resist to her cute French accent!"

Renee_patrick

Renée (36) and Patrick (34), Clermont-Ferrand

Patrick: "Renée and I found each other through Smartdate: we were both in the middle of a divorce. It was a difficult period for both of us. We talked a lot before actually meeting. It was important to take our time to know each other before moving forward. I don’t regret taking this time; we now know that we’re going in the right direction. Even our children are the same age!"

Manon_adrien

Manon (22), Biganos and Adrien (22), Argenteuil

Manon: "I started visiting this Web site because I was looking for a boyfriend. I was impressed as I started receiving tons of messages on the first day! New members are advertised, so you feel very welcome right away. I liked Adrien because he was more subtle than others, and he was more interesting…We started a long distance relationship, since I come from Bordeaux and he is from Paris. Soon, it will be easier, since I am moving to Paris for school."

Anne-lise_andrew

Anne-Lise (25), Grenoble and Andrew (33), Huez

Anne-Lise: "Andrew is British, he just moved to Rhône-Alpes. And I am an English teacher in Grenoble. We were meant to meet! We met on Smartdate two months ago, so it’s still very new. I am confident though, I don’t think I am wrong. I will let you know if we go on ski trips together next winter!"
Andrew: "Smartdate is the perfect place to meet people when you arrive in a totally new area, where you don’t know anyone! We decided to meet very quickly to make sure there was something between us. So far, it is all very positive!"

Bertrand_stephanie

Bertrand (41), Chateauroux and Stéphanie (33), Romorantin

Bertrand: "I had been alone for a few years…My friends bought me a one year Premium membership as a joke for my birthday. I visited the Web site, mostly to please them. But I started going back and met with Stéphanie after a month and a half! We’ve been together for 4 months and all is going well (even though it’s just the beginning)…I just don’t know what to do with my Premium membership!"
