A new UK online rural friendship and dating service Country Couples has achieved it's first love match just three weeks after the website launched. Set up from a farm in Cumbria, where the site designer knows all too well about the problems associated with an isolated rural lifestyle, Country Couples is well on its way in providing a solution.
For Immediate Release Rural romance is now only a click away with the launch last month of a new online friendship and dating service which has been designed with the needs of country dwellers in mind. Country Couples, the brainchild of Cumbrian woman Sally Bolton, has already created it’s first love match. A 39 year old Cumbrian farmer and 37 year old woman both requested to leave the site after just one week, as they had found what they were looking for – each other . Sally explained ”I was astonished at first, then they explained they had known each other for years but had not had contact for a long time, hence not knowing they were both once again single. As soon as they saw each other on the website they made contact, went out and are now pursuing a romantic relationship together”.Social networking and online dating is now used by millions across the UK for making friends and meeting partners. However with so many online services already established, is there room for yet another?Sally said “In a bid to pursue the ideal country lifestyle, I moved from a city career to self employment in a Cumbrian village a few years ago and it was a real culture shock for me, where on earth could I meet people? It wasn’t as though I could go and hang out by myself at the local pub. I tried online dating sites but despite the adverts of millions of members, there were so few rural people in the UK registered.”It was then Sally decided to research the niche market aspect of online dating and began the planning of Country Couples as a virtual meeting place for like-minded country folk. There are other rural dating sites already established but Sally believes there is room for one more, as many of the existing sites are aimed at differing groups within the rural market.Sally says “My aim is to build a genuine site, which is safe and populated by people who share common interests. I have tried to deal with many of the usual complaints about online dating, so there are no repeat subscriptions, with gradual but honest build up of membership rather than ‘invented’ or ‘purchased’ members. The site is not affiliated and has no advertising displayed.”Concluded Sally “Anyone with a love of our countryside or that works or lives in rural communities is welcome on Country Couples. Our aim is to bring country people together, whether they are just looking for friendship, activity partners or the love of their life.” The Country Couples website can be found at www.country-couples.co.uk ENDSNotes for Editors: Country Couples was launched on 21/12/07, for further information please visit our website at www.country-couples.co.uk or email Sally Bolton on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |
