Along the way Mel Davis and Pauline Deane have discovered that more men between 20 and 30 years of age have joined the service than women from the same age group, but over 45, the percentage of single women is larger than single men of a similar age.

Run on a personal basis, with interviews often done at the homes of North Shore and Vancouver clients, Deane said the business is small enough to connect people easily.

Since founding the service in October, 1986, the women have often found themselves deating with families in crisis with children involved.

Working with referrals from doctors and counsellors, Davis and Deane also give lectures to grieving groups of people who've lost their partners, “‘!t’s preventative medi- cine,’ said Deane.

The service currently has ap- proximately 100 people on file looking for partners.
