Mr Flook is dating a former personal assistant
Tory Adrian Flook, who blamed his job for his lack of success in finding a wife, was introduced to Janet Fuller, 31, in London by mutual friends.
Mr Flook, who seized the Taunton seat from the Liberal Democrats last year, received a flood of advances from across the country when he wrote of his frustration at being unable to find a partner.
The 38-year-old Oxford graduate and former stockbroker, told House magazine he had proposed three times and been engaged once, but his choice of career was making it difficult to find Miss Right.
'Very happy'
"It's hard in today's world to demand of your wife that you want to be an MP and she will therefore have to take on the role of an MP's wife," he said.
"It's not through lack of trying. I've found enough people I want to get married to, but they didn't want to get married to me."
But on Wednesday it emerged that Mr Flook has spent the last two months dating Miss Fuller, the mother of two young boys, from Wellington, Somerset.
Separated from her husband, a major in the Royal Engineers, more than a year ago the former personal assistant said the romance had been slightly exaggerated, but admitted the couple were "very happy" together.
Miss Fuller, who only recently moved back to Somerset to be among friends, said: "It's still early days and it has been blown a little bit out of proportion.
"Everybody's talking as though we have been going out for months and months, when in fact it has only been seven weeks.
"You have to keep these things in perspective, but we get on very well and have a lot of fun together," she added.
Mr Flook, who wrote of his struggle to find a wife last December, said he was anxious to keep the relationship low profile.
'Garden gate syndrome'
"She is very charming and I very much enjoy her company," he told the Western Daily Press.
"But I am an MP and she is not, I accept I am fair game but she and her family are not and I do not want to put them in a difficult position," said the MP, who it has been said looks like movie star Tom Cruise.
Mr Flook reckons women believe MPs are notoriously dishonest in their personal relationships.
He calls it the "garden gate syndrome", the arrangement under which an adulterous MP poses for a happy family photograph shortly before deserting his wife and children for good.
