Online dating can help people find true love if it is used properly.
Single soldiers and others may be interested in the experience of Matt Smith, a Melbourne-based writer who teaches journalism at La Trobe University, who found his partner using the web-based medium.
Mr Smith, writing in the Sydney Morning Herald, observed honesty is the best policy when it comes to dating.
He added that provided people are patient "this modern day match making service will bring a success".
Mr Smith met his now wife through the internet and admitted that after he saw her smile for the first time he was hooked.
His advice for others is to treat a profile like a CV, using it as an opportunity to list all the positive points a person has.
This is echoed by James Preece – author of The Insider's Dating Guide – who noted this message is a chance for individuals to sell themselves.
