Speak to us today to learn more:Avenues is one of the most respected and long-established names in dating in the UK – offering traditional, face to face dating, with one of the largest teams of personal matchmakers in the country. Bringing a dating service of the highest quality to County Durham and the Northeast Region since the early 1990s.
Avenues is famous for bringing people together but in a traditional way and with a service that is considerably more professional and much safer than online dating or meeting through a smartphone app on your phone. Where predominantly you are meeting strangers via the internet, who may be genuine but then again may not be. There are more than 3 million fake or fictitious identities on the internet according to figures recently released and many more participants are being dishonest by utilising photographs of themselves that are many years out of date. Why take that sort of risk?
At Avenues, we will arrange a no obligation personal consultation with one of our Membership Advisers, to get to know you very thoroughly. We have one of the most comprehensive client questionnaires in the whole of the dating industry – which if you wish to go ahead enables us to then put together a complimentary profile on your behalf, that completely captures you, with quality photographs that portray you at your absolute best.
We then set to searching our extensive and very comprehensive professional database to find you partners that we believe may be perfect for you – but all completely confidentially and without your profile and photographs ever appearing on a public website of any kind.
If that sounds like the sort of dating service that is more, you – then please get in touch by completing our contact form on this page or ringing us from 9am until 9pm everyday on 0333 256 0280. One of our Membership Advisers would love to tell you more about our service and joining options, without any obligation whatsoever. So please make that call now and we will be happy to get you talking to someone.
Since way before online dating came into the UK, Avenues have been offering our caring and meticulous service to over 50s throughout County Durham and the Northeast. During that time we have enjoyed many successes. Please allow us to introduce you to our carefully designed membership packages, each thoughtfully created to cater to your unique desires and preferences. These packages are crafted to enhance and kickstart your dating journey, ensuring you find not just a partner but a fulfilling and harmonious connection. Explore the pathways we offer and embark on a new chapter in your life filled with love, camaraderie, shared interests, and exciting opportunities.
