Every year nearly half the nation’s 80 million singles visit a dating site. Online dating sounds like such a great idea! Dating sites let you sort through potential prospects, and you don’t even have to leave home! There’s even a growing number of niche sites for someone looking for that very special person.
Internet daters are more likely to be looking for a committed relationship or marriage. One problem is that 41 percent of people visiting dating sites never even get a date. Another problem is that people online are so busy screening prospects that they don’t have time to make a date.
The best sites to try are eHarmony and Chemistry.com, who do the screening for you. They cut the online-time/first date ratio by 50 percent. Or you can use a new service like VirtualDatingAssistants.com who will do the work for you—for a fee.
