Online dating is here to stay. It’s not going anywhere. Singles, whether they’re organic singles, or newly single after a divorce — are more enterprising than ever because they have businesses, jobs, children, ex-es, parents living longer and therefore in their lives more, and family more spread out across the country and the globe. With all that going on, and the biological and social desire to couple, which is thriving, in spite of what divorce numbers tell you, remarriage is on the rise — and online dating is THE one way to “meet” the most people and “weed through the ones who are right and those who are not right” in the shortest amount of time.

There are no official studies at present on the online dating industry, and the industry is still young and self-regulated, so aggregate statistics are hard to come by, but the number of marriages that are coming out of online dating service matches, from my perspective as a relation and dating expert, is growing.

In fact, it’s only a matter of time before dating services offer “alert” systems that will alert you when a date who fits your prescribed criterion, signs up for your mutual online dating service.

Federal regulation will probably come at some point in the future as the industry suffers growing pains. Just as the National Little League Organization has recently imposed a mandatory check for sexual offenders for all their volunteers, it’s just a matter of time before those same checks and balances are imposed on online dating services.

For now, my personal advice is that anyone who is truly serious about wanting to be in a long-term relationship and isn’t in one, is foolish not to try online dating. And there’s one for everyone, whether you want to draw dates from the largest pool in a general dating service, to religion or political party specific dating services, there’s even an online dating service that caters to Vegans! As far as online dating goes, there’s nothing to lose. In fact the only people who aren’t using the service may be those who have a fear of success at relationships! Date on!
