As more and more of us whip out our mobile phones to find that perfect match it’s now a known fact that 1 in 5 of all relationships start online.
So is online dating right for you? Here’s why we think you should take the lead, snap your best photo and get writing an enthralling profile;
The dating pool online is enormous
The main thing that restricts a lot of our dating habits is our geographical location. Even if you were to visit your local pub for a drink and a boogie, you still have a select choice (and a limited one of that) of potential dating partners (beer goggles can also wreak havoc)Online, the possibilities are endless and as the dating trend online continues to grow so does the cluster of varying different types of dating. For example, exclusive dating for high calibre professionals all the way through to dating other people with the same fetishes and fantasies – the scope of the dating pool online is just monolithic.
Control
With online dating comes freedom and control – you’re essentially in charge of everything – from what information you put out there about yourself all the way through to how you want to be contacted (and of course when and if you want to reply).Instead of awkwardly shuffling whilst of thinking about what to say, the freedom of online dating allows you to pause and think about your responses and this is great for all parties involved.
It’s a great back-up plan
Just because you’re signing up to dating sites doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve failed in the real world – it’s just a very convenient alternative. Whether you’ve got an eye on someone in your local area – why limit your dating scope? Your perfect match could be messaging you online!It definitely suits busy people
The world is getting busier and that means work schedules and various other things can wreak havoc on your time to get out and meet potential new partners. With online dating you don’t even need to spruce yourself up or book a babysitter – you can engage with anyone at any point during the day at your own pace and availability.It just works
This is what you’ve been wanting to hear the entire article and it’s true – online dating just works and has done tremendously for so many people – so why not you? A large dating community advised that 1 in 3 of their matches results in a relationship of at least 6 months or more – and these are great (and comforting) stats to anyone looking at venturing into online dating.
Almost half of all of the students that attend the University of London said that they knew of someone who had met their partner through online dating – who knows – you could indeed be next!
Good luck and happy dating
