Have you ever met someone through online dating? If not, you may scoff and think, Why not just choose traditional dating in person? But for many people, online dating is a better solution. It can be cheaper, more efficient, and perhaps more successful than relying on people you meet in person.

You haven’t tried online dating – What are you waiting for?

Recent research shows that using online dating sites are not only a popular and effective way to find a soul mate, but also economically more advantageous than usual methods of finding love when dating in person.

According to research articles published in the US News, about one-third of new marriages in the US belong to people who met through online chat rooms. Online dating is a real salvation for many lovers separated by large distances, because it is quite difficult to develop and maintain a successful relationship without seeing each other.

Internet dating can replace real communication – it is a good alternative to traditional dating. It helps not only communicate via text, but also see each other and better evaluate the possibility of further communication. Apart from its obvious simplicity and convenience, online dating can save a decent amount of money.

Researchers draw special attention to the average time of courtship: the traditional dating in person leads to marriage in about two years or more, while people who met on the Internet usually get married less than in a year after their first acquaintance.

According to these data, during a traditional date in person you have to pay for a dinner at a nice restaurant, plus for two tickets to the cinema or theater, plus for flowers, and so on. For example, the average dating site customer spends just the same amount a year for online memberships.

If that is your experience, online route is much cheaper than the traditional way to charm a girl or boy. Online dating industry in recent years has become more affordable, simpler and cheaper, and therefore more attractive to many people who want to meet someone online.

In fact, statistics show that today’s young people are more careful when it comes to finding a partner. A large percentage of young people approach the issues of marriage from a purely economic point of view. That is why many are choosing alternative ways to meet their love.

Online dating is much cheaper than going to a club or bar where you can meet someone. This is the way you can meet a person without leaving home. Online dating is particularly a good option for those who are shy about meeting and making friends. And, of course, for those who want to save money or those who can’t afford to date in person.
