When it comes to dating, it seems that women are more than happy to be in the driving seat.

Newly-released research has found that ladies are sending 45 per cent more text messages than their male counterparts in their quest for love.

Girls from Gloucester are the most keen to find their perfect partner, sending on average 85 flirty texts in an effort to secure dates.

Women from Derby, Hereford, Glasgow and Halifax rounded out the top five.

However, individuals from Harrow were found to be the laziest when it comes to looking for Mr Right, followed by those from Salisbury, Torquay, Twickenham and Uxbridge.

Justin Battell, managing director of FlirtFinder, which commissioned the research, said: "Our most prolific dater has sent over 11,700 messages and our top 100 members have sent over 560,000 messages between them."

It follows on from a previous study that found over 50 per cent of office liaisons start after a person puts a flirty X on the end of a message.
