Founder's Story

Thank you for finding yourself here today....

I'm Megan, and if you're anything like me, you have a full and rich life — career highlights, travel, hobbies, friendships, family. Yet somewhere in the middle of all of it, you yearn for a partner to share it with.

In my thirties, a relationship ended suddenly and I found myself starting over. What followed was a seven-year journey to find love — and I tried everything. Speed dating, online dating, fitness groups for singles, charity events, team sports, networking, matchmakers, every dating book in the bookshop. I even appeared on Farmer Wants a Wife. I made a lot of friends along the way, and eventually, I did find the love of my life. Not perfection — but real, lasting love. We've been together for eight years now.

That journey gave me something I couldn't have planned for: a deep, firsthand understanding of what it feels like to put yourself out there, again and again, with hope and vulnerability and courage.

Empathy is at the heart of everything I do. I know that seeking a romantic partner takes real bravery, and I'm here to support you through the emotional highs and lows — to be a reassuring presence when setbacks arrive and to help you stay open-hearted when it's hard to do so.

We trust professionals in every other area of our lives — doctors for our health, recruiters for our careers, agents for our homes. Why should finding love be any different? And just as a good recruiter only gets paid when they place the right person, Love with Me operates on a results-based fee model. I'm invested in your outcome — not just your journey.

Before I begin searching for your ideal match, I take the time to truly get to know you. Love with Me is a safe, supportive, and genuinely personal service — and I'm honoured to be your advocate on this journey.

Advice on looking for the perfect partner

​My number one piece of advice is perfect does not exist. By the time you have lived a little, we have developed some traits and behaviours that a partner might find challenging, a lot of us carry some hurt, grief or trauma. My advice is to be patient, accept some flaws, and acknowledge “I am not perfect” and therefore I should not expect my partner to be perfect.

My own relationship over the years has been far from perfect. We have been challenged and tested in many ways. There have been many tears, many arguments. People nowadays want love to be easy. They want it to be like the movies. They want it to be effortless and easy all of the time. But it’s not. It’s sacrifices. It’s getting so annoyed you don’t want to be around each other some days. It’s forgiving. It’s apologising. It’s talking about the hard things even when you know it’s going to trigger them or make them mad. It’s messy, it’s ugly, and it’s hard. But once you get past all of that, it’s worth it.

Love isn’t what you see in the movies. It’s not meeting the love of your life at a cute little coffee shop, falling in love immediately, and then everything just falling into place. Relationships can get boring. It happens, usually around the 7-10 year mark. You may think because of what you see online, or in the movies, that the person you’re with should never bore you.  That’s wrong. They will bore you. They will annoy you. It’s normal. It happens. That’s when most people leave, but if you really want that amazing once in a life time love, you need to fight through that because the part after that, is so amazing.

Be kind, be patient and forgiving. Don’t give up when it gets hard. Don’t give up when it gets boring. Don’t walk away just because it gets challenging. Because on the other side of the hard, boring, and mundane part, is a love so safe, calm, and serene.

If you are looking for a new chapter, a "non perfect' but genuine love connection and partner.

​Let’s chat. It's not too late to date.
