Dating & Dating Agencies | Who uses UK online dating services and why?

In December 2002, 26 million single adults worldwide used the Internet to visit online dating agencies, says ComScore Media Matrix, a unit of ComScore Networks and the number of people using dating services is set to double in the next five years.

New dating services are largely free
The stigma of "computer dating" has largely vanished. The online dating website has finally become fashionable especially as these new dating services are largely free. In a recent survey, 77% of those polled said they would admit to using the Internet for online dating services.

Most single men and women do not have the free time to spend socialising in pubs and clubs in the hope of meeting Mr/Miss Right and searching the personals column for lonely hearts ads is still seen as a bit seedy.

Introduction Agencies
Conventional introduction agencies are not cheap and claim to match you to your perfect partner or soul mate. However these agencies operate their matching services by post, which is very slow and no introduction agency will guarantee success stories for the money you pay.

Internet dating gives you the power back by allowing you to match yourself to your ideal partner. After all, your best matchmaking expert is you. You know more than anyone else what you are ultimately looking for in a relationship whether it is friendship, love, a soul mate, or marriage.

The main difference and benefit of online dating is that singles are waiting to be approached, whereas your advances in public may not always be welcomed with open arms.
