| Internet Dating More Successful than Thought
January 4, 2007
Internet dating is proving a much more successful way to find long-term romance and friendship for thousands of people than was previously thought, new research shows.
A new study of online dating site members has found that when couples who had built up a significant relationship by e-mailing or chatting online met for the first time, 94 per cent went on to see each other again.
Perhaps surprisingly, the study, by Dr Jeff Gavin, of the University of Bath, also found that men were more emotionally dependent on their e-partners than women, and more committed to the relationship.
Old-fashioned romance isnt dead, however: among the surveys findings were that exchanging gifts was the best way to ensure commitment in the relationship.
Dr Gavins research comes at a time when the numbers using internet dating agencies have steadily increased: around six million Britons are now believed to have signed up.
Dr Gavin, with Dr Adrian Scott of the University of Bath and Dr Jill Duffield of the University of the West of England, carried out an online survey of 229 people, aged 18 to 65, who have used UK internet dating...more
Women More Likely to Snoop Than Men
January 2, 2007
In the film, Little Black Book, Brittany Murphy's character engages in some high-tech snooping on her new boyfriend. Based on this scenario Date.com, an online dating service, asked its members: Have you ever snooped on your partner?

This was the choice of 34 percent of men compared to only 20 percent of women.
The justification for women to snoop however, could stem from the fact that 22 percent of them answered: "I have snooped, and found out information that ended the relationship." Only 14 percent of men chose the same answer. More men, 21 percent, than women, 16 percent, admitted to being tempted to snoop but not going through with it. The remaining 12 percent of women and 7 percent of men answered: "I regularly go undercover. You never know what you might find."

| I am the happiest I have ever been
January 10, 2007
by Aila12
Basically I live in an Army hostel for estranged wives and found it really difficult to get a baby sitter to meet people. So I thought I'd give the internet dating thing a go.
I had a message from Pete25 who wanted to know what I looked like so I gave him my mob number and told him I could only send a pic through my phone.
Not long after that I got a call from him and we chatted and then a couple more. Then one night we spent 4hrs and 45mins on the phone. 2 days later we met and instantly fell for each other.
I am the happiest I have ever been. We are so meant to be together. I have actually fallen in love with him and can see a bright happy future together. A big thank you to Midsummers for giving me the man of my dreams.... more
