Online dating 'can work'

It is possible for people to find love through an online dating website.

Jenny White and Alex Johnson are the perfect example of this after the pair hit it off last year.

Both of them have been married before and each have three children from these marriages.

However, this did not stop them from striking up a relationship almost immediately as they found they had plenty in common.

Jenny told the Guardian that it is great fun going to meet up with Alex, as they have to plan their dates well in advance because of their family situations.

"When you've got three children, life is pretty hectic, so sitting in your car listening to music, going to see someone you're really looking forward to seeing, is great," she added.

The pair live 95 miles apart and view this as a bonus, as it keeps the interest in the relationship going because of the effort they have to put in.
