A PV Singles Success Story:
The Love Story of Jean-Luc & Sandra
In February 2021, Jean-Luc, a French Canadian visiting Puerto Vallarta, noticed a heart emoji on one of his pictures in the PV Singles group. Curious, he clicked the woman's bio—and was instantly drawn in. Sandra's words resonated deeply. He sent a message on February 17th, but never heard back. Respecting the group rules, he didn’t follow up. But two days later, he noticed she reacted again.
So, he left a public comment: "I messaged you, but maybe you didn’t see it?" This time, she responded: "Please send it again!"
And just like that, a spark was lit.
They began chatting nonstop—from 8am to midnight that weekend. Sandra was intrigued by his offer to help her learn French (something she listed in her bio as a personal dare). He spoke English and French; she, Spanish and English. What they lacked in fluency, they made up for in effort and curiosity.
By February 23rd, they met in person. Their first date was supposed to be at Starbucks, but Jean-Luc had a good feeling and suggested the Malecón instead. Within five minutes of meeting, they kissed. They held hands, had dinner, talked for hours. And neither of them wanted it to end.
From Long-Distance to Life Together
Just two days later, Jean-Luc began looking for ways to move closer to Sandra in Nayarit. They rented a place together for six weeks. As COVID restrictions loomed, he had to return to Canada—but they spoke every day until she joined him on a temporary visa in August. Since then, they've spent every season together, splitting time between Mexico and Canada.
Their Wedding? February 23rd, 2024—exactly three years after their first kiss.
What Made It Work?
Jean-Luc says he was shocked to meet someone with values so aligned to his own. Their connection felt immediate and deep. Sandra felt the same: "I was surprised (in a good way) to find a man I could talk to who shared my worldview."
For both, communication was the glue. They made time for each other, spoke openly, and never stopped growing. Despite a 13-year age gap, they felt equally matched.
Advice for Singles in Puerto Vallarta
Jean-Luc:
"Know yourself first. Don’t date just to avoid being alone. Let your soul lead."
"Stop carrying baggage from old relationships."
"Don’t overthink it. Sometimes, the right moment finds you."
Sandra:
"Be open. Let yourself be surprised."
"You need to do the inner work first."
"Don’t give everything away too soon. Keep some mystery."
"Find someone who shares your values, not just your interests."
How They Stay Connected Now
They work together on projects. Sandra is a realtor; Jean-Luc helps with her French-speaking clients. They volunteer at a local dog shelter. They even encourage local kids to play pickleball. Shared purpose and giving back keeps them bonded.

❤️ FAQs: Finding Love & Relocating to Puerto Vallarta in 2025
Do people actually meet and fall in love in PV Singles?
Yes! We have multiple success stories of real couples who met in PV Singles, including recent members who are now married. From meaningful connections to long-term love, it happens more often than you might think—when you show up with intention, courage, and an open heart.
What if I move to PV and never meet anyone?
It's a real fear, but one that doesn't have to come true. Puerto Vallarta is full of vibrant, open-hearted people looking for connection. Many have felt the same fear and now look back with gratitude that they took the risk. Community and connection start with showing up.
Are there actually high-quality men/women in Puerto Vallarta?
Yes—but just like anywhere else, the key is alignment. Many people here are reinventing their lives, healing, growing, and seeking meaningful relationships. The more grounded and aligned you are, the more you attract others who match your energy.
What if I'm lonely after moving?
Loneliness is common during major life transitions—but it can also be a gateway to deeper self-awareness, growth, and realignment. You won't be alone for long if you stay open, connect with community events, and allow yourself to be seen.
What if I’ve been hurt before and don’t want to try again?
That’s a valid feeling. But healing doesn’t mean hiding forever. Emotional avoidance often disguises itself as self-protection—but it usually keeps you stuck. PV Singles is filled with others doing the inner work. You deserve love that meets you in your wholeness, not your wounds.
Is it really worth putting myself out there again?
Only you can decide that—but many would tell you yes. Every success story we share started with someone who chose bravery over fear. You don’t need to be perfect to be loved. You just need to be real, intentional, and open to the journey.
How does this connect to relocation support?
Relocation isn’t just logistics—it’s about creating a new life. I help clients relocate confidently, but I also care deeply about their emotional wellbeing, relationships, and community connections. Book a consultation here to get help building not just a move, but a life you love.
