The report, entitled The Rise of the Internet as a Social Intermediary, revealed just under 30 per cent of couples involved in the survey between 2007 and 2009 met via the internet, St Louis Today reports.
It showed only friend recommendations are a more common form of meeting a lover than doing so online.
Michael Rosenfeld, from Stanford University and lead author of the study, commented: "It is possible that in the next several years the internet could eclipse friends as the most influential way Americans meet their romantic partners."
He added meeting through mates has been the main form of starting relationships since the 1940s and online dating is the first method to challenge this.
The Herald Sun recently noted searching for a soulmate on the internet is becoming increasingly popular among young people.
