More and more people in the UK are turning to the internet to find a date. The advantages are perhaps obvious; it is easy, it widens your choice of partner and you can do it from the confort of you own living room.

Additionally if you are uneasy about approaching members of the opposite sex in traditional meeting places such as bars and clubs, or have had bad experiences with these types of dating then online dating can be a valuable alternative.

Whats more is it is now more socially acceptable than ever to date online and more and more singles are logging on to look for a date. In the same way the internet has now become a part of every day life so online dating is becoming the norm rather than a niche market.

But can it lead to success? Can you really find love online? The statistics are promising.

A recent study showed that some 94% of persons using online dating facilities who met their online date met again after the first date (source BBC). In fact it has been shown that couples who meet online are far more likely have a long term future together.

So give it a go. Who knows that gorgeous guy or girl that you may have been too shy to approach in person may just reply to your e-mail! If not what have you lost?
