How well online dating works

A survey conducted on how well online dating works has found that more couples in America are meeting one another through the internet rather than through any other means.

The survey ''How Couples Meet and Stay Together'' found that in fact the Internet has become one of the most popular places for people to meet.

"Online dating definitely works," the Guardian quoted Reuben J. Thomas, an assistant professor of sociology at the City University of New York, who collaborated on the survey, as saying.

"We estimate that 23 percent of the couples in the U.S. who met in the two years from 2007 to 2009 met online. More people meet online now than meet through school, work, church, bars, parties, et cetera," he said.
