My Daughter And I Are Real-Life Cupids

Sue Walters, 60, had seen too many dating disasters when she came up with a clever idea.

Sitting in the cafe, I watch a couple a few tables away as they chat. It’s their first date and while I might sound like I’m being nosy, the truth is, it’s my job to keep a watchful eye. You see, I’m a real-life cupid whose paid to help people fall in love. After all, I know first-hand just how hard that can be…

My own relationship broke down in 2002 and I found myself a single mum to Liz, then 13. In time I realised I wanted to meet someone new but after trying online dating sites, I quickly became disillusioned. My inbox was forever being filled up with messages from strange men, many with filthy minds! So instead, I signed up to a local dating agency, where I was vetted and personally matched with men who shared the same hobbies and likes as me.
