online dating

Most people grow up dreaming about falling

in love

Starting a Family…

And living happily ever after…

But I wonder how many people considered they would be meeting

their significant other online?

A couple years ago?

Probably not very many

Now?

Probably a larger majority ?  

Online dating has become a billion dollar industry, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger

As technology keeps developing, more and more people are creating online identities, allowing for love to

blossom over a computer screen

Online dating facilitates conversation

Especially for people who tend to be a little socially …

They allow you to be direct about what you want

Whether it’s a family

Or just a casual date

If you’re looking for marriage

1 in 3 couples today meet online

Studies have even shown that people who meet

online tend to have happier marriages!

Because most people who are on dating sites are looking to get married

Makes Sense!

eHarmony

LavaLife

Match

Sites such as …

All use compatibility tests to set you up with your “perfect match”

If you’re looking for a more casual free version…

There’s always Tinder

People who reported to have met their spouse online tended to be between ages 30-49

And have higher income brackets compared to people who don’t meet online

So if you’re looking for love

Why not check online?

∞  You +   Online dating

match =  

*or so they say J

But you always have to be careful

Because people are not always who they seem

Especially online

They  might  be  lion  

⏎  lol  get  it  

ONLINE!
