Don't just take our word for the Entre Nous successes; here are the comments of other men and women who have flourished through the Entre Nous program...

Dear Vicky & Eliane,
This is a brief note on behalf of myself and C. to say a very sincere thank you for the role Entre Nous played in introducing us to each other.
As you know, having met in July, we became a couple in December and 2012 has been an amazing year so far and I am sure it will continue to be so. Last weekend I whisked C. away for a romantic weekend in the Bay of Fires. Whilst there we became engaged and are now planning our future together.
C. is a totally amazing woman and I doubt whether our paths would have crossed without your help.
Many Thanks

Hi Wendy and Rosalind
I have been meaning to write for a while since I received your email.
S. and I are doing very well. It is now 22 months now that we have been seeing each other... so very close to 2 years!
We are very happy together and feel so very closely matched in so many ways such as our personalities, family and lifestyle. We are currently on a tour of Europe for 5 weeks and having lots of fun together. Sharing the experience of being in a foreign country is bringing us even closer together. We've included a photo of us taken in Cortina D'ampezzo, Italy and another at the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
Less than 2 years ago S. and I were disillusioned with the people we had met in the usual places. Trying to find someone with the same outlook on life and wanting to give a relationship a go instead of playing games was difficult and filled with frustration. Being introduced to someone who wanted the same things in life that I wanted has opened up a new world of experiences for me. S. feels the same way and all our family and friends have noticed how happy we make each other feel.
Without being introduced through Entre Nous we probably would still be on the dating merry-go-round. For bringing us together, we both thank you.
Best wishes

Dear Rosalind
Thank you for your note.
J. was my last and successful introduction from Entre Nous coming up 3 years ago in November. We have what is a great relationship for people at our stage in life, which means that we keep our independence with respect to living arrangements, but yet meet frequently to go out together and have had 2 very enjoyable overseas trips as well as many short breaks locally.
J. is a very compassionate, reliable, generous, knowledgable, and witty man. Despite some differences in belief systems, we have a mutual respect, and share most core values. We also share many passions which take up much discussion time with many laughs.
I don't know anyone specifically at present who would be a candidate for Entre Nous. I have mentioned Entre Nous at odd times when the topic of meeting for relationship comes up in conversation, and will certainly continue to 'promote' you in future when the opportunity arises.
We wish you and your staff continuing success.
Sincerely M. (name supplied)

Hi Rosalind,
Ian and I met through Entre Nous in 2004, married in 2008, and are
still living happily together! Yes, I DO try to recommend Entre Nous to others
(instead of trawling through all the junk on the internet), but you can only
lead a horse to water, etc, etc.
cheers,

Hello Rosalind
Good to hear from you, Trust you are well. I am still with P . . . . , we are both having a great time, doing a lot of things together which otherwise we would not be doing. Life is pretty good. Almost 2 years since we met, THANK YOU, we never imagined it would turn out this way, It's all to do with timing I think !!
I gave her a Surprise for New Years Eve, I took her on that Scenic flight to Antarctica, it was fantastic, we can definitely recommend it if you get the opportunity to do it.
I haven't managed to take her fishing yet, but she is certainly enjoying a lot of Fresh Fish, I don't think she had ever eaten real Fresh fish in her life !!

My experience with Entre Nous was a very enjoyable one. The 3rd person I met is now my wife, and our 2nd anniversary is 3 weeks away. I would not hesitate to recommend Entre Nous to people.

I have been with this girl for 5 months and would consider getting couples counseling which is something I previously wouldn't have considered however my experience with Entre Nous has given me insight on how to develop a relationship.
V. (name supplied)
2th February
Yes I guess it is just a matter of time, and patience I am very very happy to be with L. Being in a committed relationship with someone I love is fantastic and this is where I am now. What Entre Nous has taught me is that I don't need to be in a relationship at all costs and it is important to be with the partner that you really want to be with.

Yes thank you so much. I am now happily married. I met S. in October 2006. We got married on April 12, 2008. We will be nearly celebrating our second year wedding anniversary. Thank you once again Entre Nous.

6th February
I was fortunate to meet my now (B. ) towards the end of my 6 months with Entre Nous. The Entre Nous experience provided me with different opportunities to meet a diversified group of people who I may not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. I viewed this as part of the journey I needed to take to understand what I wanted out of a relationship.

Entre Nous is the best decision I've ever made for myself.
M.
15th January
The opportunity of meet a number of people who, like me wanted to establish a relationship but were having difficulty finding people and being confident with them, all this helped me realise I have lots to offer and the other person is probably just as uncertain as me.
M.
6th February
With the initial introductions I was not really sure of what I wanted and it wasn't until I had met several different people that I started to have an understanding of what I was looking for. I now feel that I have a better idea and I also feel more confident when meeting new people that I can assess our compatibility. I am also more understanding of the other person's perspective and so feel I can be more relaxed.
I have not formed a committed relationship with anyone as yet but I feel that Entre Nous has helped me develop a clear understanding of what I am looking for.

Dear Rosalind
All is going very well, and J . . . . . . whom I met through EN is my close friend and companion. We enjoy travel concerts, walks and lots of laughs together. I reflect occasionally how different my life would have been if I had not approached EN over 2and a half years ago.
I also reflect on the very professional process used by EN and compare it with incidental comments made by women who contact RSVP to meet 'dates'. It seems to me that they are meeting men who want to have a 'smorgasbord of choices' available.
Yours sincerely, M . . . . . .(name supplied)

Hi Rosalind,
Thanks for your email. I am 5 months into a relationship with a wonderful man. Although I didn't meet him through Entre Nous, the confidence and social skills I gained through my EN experience certainly led to me forming a relationship with him initially.
Regarding referrals, I would be happy to recommend a single friend of mine, I will refer her to your website .

Hi Rosalind
Thank you for your email, and thinking of me.
All is going rather well with me at present. I've been seeing a wonderful man for about 8mths, and things are progressing well. P. . . . . . . loves coming to church with me, and he is also very supportive with my son and schooling.
I want to thank you for all the opportunities I had to practice meeting men while in your program, it was one of the best things I did during that time, even though I didn't meet anyone seriously. You showed me how to have fun without the pressure of thinking will this work or not. Just enjoying the moment.
Kind regards, J . . . . . .

Hi Rosalind
Yes, things are going well for me and I am very happy. Even though I did not meet my partner through you, I do want to say thankyou for all your support and assistance. At the start, I thought the experience was going to be quite daunting but all of you made the fear disappear and gave me a good boost to getting the confidence to meet new people. Thank you!

Dear Rosalind,
Thank you for your email. I am happy to say that I am now in a committed relationship and very much in love. This would not have happened if I had not had the guidance of Wendy and the chance to meet many wonderful people through EN. There was much that I needed to learn after my 28 year marriage ended and Wendy played a vital part in that learning as did the many kind and wonderful women I met through EN.
I would surely encourage any singles I know to contact EN,
All the best for your future,
Best regards D. . . . . .

Fortunately I am still with the first man I met with Entre Nous, after 4 1/2 years. I would never have met him If I had not joined Entre Nous. Things are going OK at this stage.

Hello Wendy,
Sorry for taking so long to write back to you. Guess I am having so much fun that I forget some of the things that I should do.
As I promised here are some thoughts/comments on my experiences thus far with Entre Nous :
I have to say that when I started with Entre Nous I was very nervous and I had no idea what to expect out of it. I have been so fortunate that all of my introductions are such wonderful people whom I have enjoyed many great times with. I think I had forgotten what it was like to have so much fun with new people. I am now doing many fun and interesting things that I would probably never have done otherwise.
The support Entre Nous provides is fabulous, from the educational classes, the feedback you receive in your regular reviews, to the positive energy and encouragement you receive from all the staff. You feel like everyone is truly there to help you in your journey. I have found the member events you organise also a great way of meeting new and interesting people.
When I received the e-mail about the Samba dancing classes my first thoughts were " I can't do that, I will just embarrass myself in front of all the ladies ". Then I thought " the Brazilian dancing looks like so much fun, what have I got to lose to go to one class ? ". So I just went to the first class and I have to say it was much more fun than I ever imagined. The teacher Lia is fantastic, the people you meet are all great, every class is more fun than the previous one and Samba dancing is also a great form of exercise. After the class we go out for drinks and sometimes we go onto the Copacabana club in Fitzroy to practice our dancing. I have made many new friends through the Samba dancing which I otherwise may not have.
The Entre Nous process works, keep up the good work. I have learnt so much more about myself and it has given me more self confidence in meeting new people.
My only regret, if you can call it that, is I wish I had the courage to join Entre Nous sooner. We all can think too much at times, instead of just saying to ourselves." If I think it will make me happy then Just Do It !".
Warmest regards,
P.........(name supplied)

Dear Rosalind
Thank you for your letter - I've been meaning to write to you for some time. Bill and I married in April this year and spent 6 weeks overseas on our honeymoon. We've told all our friends and family about how we met at Entre Nous - a bit of a challenge for me at first but ultimately liberating.
Thank you for your service. I probably would never have found a partner any other way as I was far too shy (and truth be told, socially inept) to meet men off my own bat.
Attached is a photo of the happy couple!
Warm regards

E.... and I were married on 30 June this year after being introduced in September 2005.
We both wish to say thank you for the chance to meet some one simply wonderful that we both say was outside of our normal networks. I can honestly say that the best thing I ever did was follow the Entre Nous process.

Dear Rosalind,
Meeting different women
Although Entre Nous has been an amazing, interesting, educational and a fun
experience - you also learn a lot about yourself which you would otherwise
not find out.
There is no other way to find someone you can relate to - in fact doing it
by 'chance'- i.e. hoping you will meet someone in your daily normal life -
is equal to the chance of lightening striking you in the driveway of your
home. I have told this to many people in just this way.
As you have correctly said, you usually cannot pick at first glance who you
will get on best with - sometimes it is a great surprise.
Then there are the occasions when you like someone and they don't feel the
same way- it would be nice to know why for your own benefit but you rarely
know this- perhaps the other person may not want to say.
Personal contact is so much superior to computer (impersonal and subject to
misleading information) contact. The sound of someone's voice is very
important. Some women love incredibly enhancing voices and some have broad
drawl (a la Julia Gillard)
These are only a few thoughts - more to follow.
Regards, S..... (name supplied)

Dear Rosalind,
Now that the AMC-Arrow merger has taken place and I am retired from my previous role of CEO of AMC I want to write to you to say a huge thanks for your excellent commitment to AMC, ILG, Cre8 and your continuous support and encouragement of me personally.
We made a great team from the beginning in February 2004 when our first committee started meeting at Day3 at Blackburn. From then the Lord added to our Board without any resignations during the full period of our operation. This in itself is a testimony to the vision, good governance and leadership under Rick's chairmanship.
Over these eight years we built six full ILG groups in Melbourne and Sydney, Soul Food Breakfast Club, MCF, Destineers and recently BAM groups. We grew Cre8 as a unique national marketplace ministry conference and built a mailing list of some 8500 people (after removal of bounces and unsubscribes) through which many messages of hope, inspiration and encouragement were sent.
We also progressed from a home office to a small office in Camberwell to the current office at St Hilary's. We grew from a couple of volunteer buddies to an organisation with three staff (including myself), six contract facilitators and many volunteers. We ran a surplus every year and invested substantial resources into the new organisation. You helped us develop through your outstanding support as a loyal and dedicated ILG Board member.
Also a big thanks to Tom for his support.
But above all we were used by God to develop a unique offering in Australia that bridged the sacred-secular divide by multiplying great faith based relationships with unique value adds to business people in our city and nation. We pioneered new work in Australia that is now becoming much more widespread.
Thanks for your fantastic partnership.
Blessings and thanks to you both,
Peter Kentley
Testimonals from seminars and other events
Testimonial 1
I thought that the panellists were first class, with each presenting complementary and thoughtful perspectives. From a personal perspective, I found Peter's contribution the most useful. It was also a good social networking opportunity in relaxed surroundings.
I'd certainly attend another event with panellists/presenters of this quality.
Testimonal 2The experts' personal experiences, advices and pointers which normally would be beyond our reach if it is not because of you. Listening to them really open up our eyes to the world and give us hope again that we are not alone. We can make it for sure, it is just a matter of time.
Particularly enjoy Rosalind's advice on how to be collectors to have more friends and do not look at people at the surface, should go deeper to understand the person better. Always believe that there is someone out there for us, just a matter of time.
