In my case, YES! I met my wife via an online dating site. We have been happily married for nearly three years and have a lovely son together.

Could internet dating improve your future? I remember when I was single thinking that it was not that important finding a partner. But then I would have times when I was really lonely and the thought of spending the next 50 years or so on my own didn't seem too appealing.

It was at one of these moments that I posted my online profile to several different dating websites. Thankfully my wife saw me and decided to email. Apparently I had a very kind face (ie. I wasn't very handsome!).

I have no doubt that internet dating gives you a very good chance of a long-lasting relationship. Meeting someone on the basis of shared values and interests must surely increase the chances of longevity over a drunken meeting in a nightclub.

There are now hundreds of dating sites online giving you the opportunity to meet people not only from your own locality but also around the world. I've listed a few on my dating page.

Always remember to take precautions, particularly if you are a lone female. Be careful giving out your personal information. Remember not all men you meet on the internet are genuine or as nice as me (-:

If you do decide to give it a go let me know if you have any success or if you have any feedback about the featured dating sites.
