Internet Connections: Finding Love on the Information Highway

Lifestyle

The Internet is where we find our weather reports, the latest news, celebrity gossip and love. The growing popularity of online dating can be attributed to a number of variables; some people are just too busy to join clubs or hang out in places where they can meet prospective partners while others find it a great way to get over their shyness. The Internet also gives you access to a wider pool of possibilities and allows people to interact in a safe way before agreeing to meet in person. If you are tempted to dip your toe in the pool of cyber romance, here are the best websites to try.

Match

15 million active users; you can’t get a bigger dating pool than that! This site advertises itself as a portal for those who are interested in serious dating and long-term relationships. If 15 million seems overwhelming, don’t worry; the online matchmaker will use your profile to find 5 top matches.

Chemistry

This site accommodates both serious and casual daters. Their ’1-2-3 Meet’ program makes it easy for you to find compatible partners. You can use the in-depth online profile to outline your preferences so that their vast database of possible dates can be narrowed down to ones that are compatible to you. This means that you can’t search the database and can only work with your compatible matches. This is a very attractive feature for those who don’t have a lot of time or want to meet singles quickly.

eHarmony

This online dating site claims to be responsible for 2% of American marriages; that’s a whopping 236 marriages a day. As you can imagine, they are aimed at the more serious dater who is looking for a long-term relationship. Their online profile is extensive, and you will have to devote some time to filling it out. This is a small price to pay if you manage to find ‘the one’ through their 29 points of compatibility.
