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!
