More than parents

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!
