There are approximately 90 million U.S. singles 18+, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and 63% of singles are open to using online dating.
Dating in the 21st century is faster, better and easier. Equipped with convenient technology (such as the internet and cell phones) dating is no longer as intimidating as face-to-face blind dates can be. Privacy and anonymity have much to do with it. It is much easier to have a sincere conversation with an online stranger than it is to talk to a coworker or neighbor. So get to know your date first, anonymously and at your own pace. You decide when to go offline and take it beyond smiley face icons and computerized winks. Allow yourself to chat online, send an email, and let someone know you are interested with the simple click of a button. Search through hundreds of profiles and photos of singles you are interested in or that have let you know are interested in you. You never know, you may find “the one” you have been looking for. Just remember, dating online does not guarantee you a date or a long-term relationship, but it does broaden your possibilities to find one.
