Welcome to my site. I have written several articles for those looking for love and in need of relationship advice.
Depending on who you ask, online dating is either the greatest thing since sliced bread, or a complete waste of time. Yes, we've done our research. For instance, we know that anywhere from one-third to three quarters of UK singles have met someone on the internet. Why the wide range?
Well, it's not because people are embarrassed by it, not anymore. What began as the last refuge for the shy and lonely has become a multi-million pound industry. In the end, it really does depend on the age group of the singles we are talking about.
Though older users have become ever more active on the internet, they are still far more likely to meet their dates the old-fashioned way, in person. But when it comes to the young, statistics tell us that they have embraced nearly every aspect of the online experience, including dating. Yes, the average singles dating site is overrun with younger users.
One telling statistic we can pass along to you is that 21 percent of UK married couples between the ages of 19 and 25 met online. This is the generation that grew up with internet access and they have mastered the art of electronic communication. Clearly, it is now paying dividends for them.
For singles that are new to online dating, the most important rule is to not give out too much personal information. Sure, most people talk themselves up a bit online, but there are others who just plain lie. Studies have shown that about a quarter of the people on singles sites are actually engaged or married and they use the internet to have an affair or a one-night stand. So be careful about who you let into your life.
