The Splitting Sixties

By the time we hit our 60’s we are ready to be free. Free from mortages, work pressures and the responsibility of children. But sixtysomethings are also breaking free of their marriages as well. In fact, silver separations, as they are known have risen dramatically in the past few years. More than 11,500 over 60’s…

Sara Eden is 24 years old today!

  The 19th September 1988 is a day I will never forget, sitting at my computer waiting for the phone to ring, having placed adverts in all the local papers and glossy magazines. Eventually it did ring and I took our very first enquiry, an estate agent living in Camberley in his 40’s!   Friends,…

When couples first get together it’s understandably easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of romance and planning for the future, so it’s not unusual for us to find out months, sometimes years later that our efforts to introduce people have been successful. Imagine our delight therefore, when we received a lovely card and pile…

Well what a few weeks it’s been in London.  We’re only just getting over the excitement of the Jubilee celebrations, closely followed by the wonderful Olympic torch tour which went right past our window here in Windsor and then the unbelievable 2 weeks of the games themselves. It’s been inspiring, emotional, historic and exhausting – memories and emotions…

Strange concidence……

Last week I put an advert in a national newspaper for one of my Founder members looking for a lady based in Hampshire. As the replies started to come in I had a message to call a chap named Alan in response to the advert. I thought this a little strange as the advert was aimed at…

Friends and lovers

Just reading the results of some research completed recently in the US (where else!) which says that men’s friendships with the opposite sex are driven by sexual attraction, regardless of whether they are single. It found that women, however, are more likely to consider their friendships with men as platonic – and only hoped for…

Congratulations Sue and Mike

We would like to congratulate Sue and Mike on their engagement. Mike was the first person Sue had met through Sara Eden and Sue was Mike’s fifth Introduction. Even though they lived in the same town both agreed they would never have met if it wasn’t though Sara Eden.   

Another week another story….

As Press Officer for our trade body, The Association of British Introduction Agencies I regularly speak with the media and appear on TV and radio to discuss anything to do with the dating industry. This week was no exception, particularly yesterday which was extremely hectic – why? Because another lonely lady had been conned by…

Busiest Easter ever

We have just celebrated our busiest Easter ever at Sara Eden. 2012 is proving to be a very eventful year for everyone. With the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee making it a year never to be forgotten. I am sure this is why we have been so busy as people start thinking about their life…

Susan Boyle is looking for love….

Singing sensation Susan Boyle has achieved everything she ever dreamed of since becomming an overnight global star – except finding a man that is. Susan admitted she had “never been kissed” before walking on to the Britain’s Got Talent stage in 2009. Opening her heat this week about her love life for the first time,…

Happy 23rd birthday Sara Eden!

I can’t believe it’s 23 years ago today since I started Sara Eden. After recovering from a broken shoulder my friends both male and female would come to see me and complain about how difficult it was to find a partner. It was 1988 and those of us in our 20’s were working hard and playing…

Double wedding news!

What a lovely surprise I got today when looking at our inbox. A double wedding! “Hi just to let you know that I met one of your clients via Sara Eden in February 2007 and we got married in November 2010! What’s more, my friend who introduced me to your agency also met a man…

New Year – New Love!

Welcome to 2011! I can’t believe we are almost half way through January already and like all January’s before, it is one of the busiest months in the year for Sara Eden. As the New Year dawns emails ping into our inbox  from those who are single and don’t want to be this time next…
