More than a decade after the Internet became a dating mecca, a new study finds that those who have looked for relationships online have more faith in cyberspace than those who never have.The rest of the article has a few more statistics and some quotes from online daters.
An estimated 16 million Americans have used a dating site or other site to meet people, the Pew Research Center reports; 45% of these have never been married. Pew found that 79% say online dating is a "good way to meet people" and 52% say the experience was mostly positive. But 29% say it was mostly negative. Among all Internet users — about 145 million single people, married people or those in relationships — opinions appear evenly split: 44% agree that Internet dating is a "good way to meet people," and 44% disagree.
