Becci & Barry

How did you hear about Even?: TV adverts.
When did you meet?: July 2024.
What were your expectations when you signed up?: Hoping to meet someone who was serious about wanting a relationship but who also understood being a parent & the implications that can have on your time, commitment, etc.
How would you describe your first conversation & first date?: Our 1st phone conversation lasted well over an hour, we had been messaging for just over a week at that point. The conversation flowed really well. There was a mixture of lighthearted small talk & slightly deeper conversation, with some flirting thrown in for good measure! I was excited & nervous for our 1st date 2 days later. I fancied him the moment I saw him. We had a lovely meal & I felt very comfortable with him. I knew that I definitely wanted to see him again. I was the one who initiated a little kiss at the end of the date once he had walked me to my car.
How did you manage your schedule between the children and all the rest?: He has a set routine of when he has his children each week which was useful for planning around. My situation is much less structured but luckily I have a very supportive family who love close by & are happy to help with childcare when they can. Also he was very understanding & was happy to come to mine for evenings in after my little one had gone to bed.
What are your plans as a couple?: We have been seeing each other for 5 months now. We have both met each others children, as well as some friends & family. At this point we have no specific plans for the future. We are both very happy, in love & want to make this last!
