Internet has ‘altered dating experience for people’

The internet has undoubtedly changed the way dating takes place in the 21st century.

While ten years ago people relied on face-to-face meetings or recommendations from their friends in order to find that special someone, this has now changed.

Michelle Toglia, writing in Your Tango, said people are increasingly turning to the web as they seek to find Mr or Mrs Right.

"We're not just finding potential partners on the internet, we're talking to them virtually, dating them, falling in love and even proposing online too," she added.

Ms Toglia observed one of the main benefits of the medium is that it offers people the opportunity to get in contact with each other at any time of the day, as individuals are always available through the web.

The writer stated people can also find out about the past of any potential suitors, such as whether they once wore a questionable Halloween costume or an old blog they wrote.
