Online dating is “sensible and efficient”

Online dating is now mainstream and people should not worry about whether or not to use it.

Carl Hindy, psychologist and co-author of If This Is Love, Why Do I Feel So Insecure?, told LifeGoesStrong that it is a "sensible and efficient" way to meet someone.

For those keen to get the most out of the experience, Mr Hindy recommends people be specific about the kind of person they are after to make the whole process much easier.

Safety is also paramount, so individuals should email and talk on the phone before agreeing to meet up in person, he added.

The expert went on to note those searching for love should not be afraid to look around for the best person, reasoning that individuals typically view more than one property before buying a house.

In order to attract the right level of attention, web users need to come up with a snappy and engaging profile.
