A Black Christian Dating Success Story from the UK

Sometimes God’s timing looks like almost giving up — and then not quite. Tomi and Tumi matched on SALT in the UK, nearly didn’t stay on long enough to meet each other, and ended up finding something neither of them expected. Here’s their story, in their own words.

Tomi and Tumi’s Story

We matched on SALT and hit it off pretty much right away. Funny enough, before we matched, my cousin had mentioned there was someone he wanted to set me up with… and it turned out to be Tomi! But I’m actually so glad we ended up meeting on SALT instead.

I messaged him first because his profile mentioned going for runs, and I asked if he wanted to go for one sometime. Funny enough… we still haven’t actually gone for a run together yet! But we’ve made so many amazing memories already, and I’m so grateful for how it all worked out. We both loved the features of the app in terms of the Bible verses and podcasts etc available!

What I’m most grateful for is that we both stayed on the app long enough to meet each other, especially because I don’t think either of us were really convinced we’d meet someone on there. Now I genuinely recommend it to everyone.
