I'm at that horrible age where most of my peer group are getting married or engaged... fed up of being asked about online dating Hmm

Forgot to mention ours was OLD too. Via Gumtree, randomly. I don't think they have a dating page anymore. But I also met some nice people on PoF, and friends have had good luck with Guardian Soulmates too.
