Well, according to 40 million Americans and millions of other singles in the UK,
Australia, New Zealand and Canada, it is the biggest boost to flagging love
lives since the invention of Viagara. Gone are the images of desperate and socially inept computer geeks, or creepy lotharios seeking lonely women to scam, online dating has become a haven for a vast cross section of society; busy professionals, university students, single parents, divorcees, widows and widowers. No longer something to be embarrassed about, online dating is now as mainstream as dinner and a movie. |

As our lives become more hectic, the chances of meeting someone special are often limited to work colleagues, set-ups through family and friends or pick-ups at bars and nightclubs. And let's face it, if these methods worked for everyone then we would all be living happily ever after. Online dating increases the pool of potential mates to the thousands - it's like a gigantic singles bar but without the crowds, smoke, sleaze and overpriced drinks. It gives people a chance to get to know one another over email before progressing to the next step. And if things don't work out, there is no awkward, "I'll call you tomorrow" conversation, there is simply the delete button. And best of all, you can date someone for months without ever changing out of your pyjamas or washing your hair! (Although some amount of personal grooming is recommended for the first time you meet in person) As more happy couples attest to the wonders of online dating, its respectability grows encouraging more single people to turn to their computers for a match made on the web. Check out the success stories on our site, or go to www.lovestory.com.au - an entire site dedicated to couples who have met online - to hear how online dating has helped create the fairy tale ending for hundreds of people looking for love. There is a world of possibilities out there - what are you waiting for? |
