My client Tanzim joined in April 2025. He is a kind, funny, outgoing, and successful gentleman living in Dubai. In his 40's, he came to us finding it difficult to date in such a transient city. It was important for him to meet someone who could see themselves building a long term life in Dubai, while also being down to earth, family orientated, and aligned with him in terms of personality and sense of humour.

I introduced him to a few matches initially, but while they were lovely, the chemistry was not quite there and the connections felt more like friendships. We discussed approaching dating with a bit more playfulness and confidence in his flirting, and then along came Zara.

From the moment he heard about her, Tanzim felt she could be a great match and was pleasantly surprised that she was open to hearing about him too. Their first date showed real promise, and he was struck by how elegant and ladylike she was. From there, things progressed naturally, with Tanzim taking the lead in planning more dates and even taking her to Paris for New Year’s.

I could not be happier for them and truly cannot wait to see what the future holds for this wonderful couple!
