There are always thousands of members online looking for a date. There are various search methods, search by town, age, physical features and hobbies and interests. Why not try it for yourself? The internet has so much to offer in the way of dating and you can do it all from your own home, anytime.

Here is a selection of our online dating love stories…
I met my partner online. After chatting online for a few days through an online dating site, we spoke on the phone. That first phone call lasted over four hours. I think we both knew then that it was meant to be, there was definitely something there from that start. We have seen each other ever since. Have now been together for over three years and have been living together for 12 months. We are very well suited to each other. If I had never used internet dating I would not be with my partner now. So I can definitely say is a good thing to meet someone online.
James - West Yorkshire, UK

It does work. 3 years ago I was using an online dating web site, not looking for anything in particular and having a bit of fun. I met the most amazing man, and after exchanging lots of emails and hours on the phone we met up about 2 weeks later. I knew he was the man for me within about 5 minutes of meeting him face to face. We've been married for 6 months now.
Siobhan - Colchester, UK

I met my wife on the net while I was living in England, we are now married and still very happy. I would never have found her if it wasn't for the internet.
Richard - Fort Lauderdale, USA

Anything that has the power to allow would be lovers to find each other can only be a good thing for romance. Online dating has helped bring agency dating into the 21st Century and break the stigma that finding love this way is superficial and, let's face it, a bit desperate. When love has the chance to prevail - who cares how it starts? I don't see the difference between meeting someone in a room at a house party or in a chatroom online - both are just as coincidental and have the potential to develop into the perfect star-crossed match that was always meant to be!
George - Leicester, UK

I met my future wife online because of my interest in conservation. All we wanted was to be friends, two-and-a-half year's later we are getting married next month. She lives in Australia and is moving to England after the wedding. It does work.
Mike - Woking, UK

I met my future wife on a dating site, she's American so it would have been highly improbable to have met any other way. We're happily married and had our first child last year. I think the internet is wonderful.
Paul - London, UK

I met my now husband through an internet dating site. Both in our fifties - didn't do clubs, pubs, etc and were really only looking for friendship, but following a few e-mails, and telephone conversations, it was love at first sight when we met. Engaged within three months and married a year later. Now have four children and six grandchildren. Life couldn't be better.
Jenny - Birmingham, UK

I met my wife on the internet using a dating agency. I found I was working long hours and rarely had the time to meet other people outside of my group of friends and colleagues. I felt too old for night clubs (ie older that the average age of 17!) and they were never my scene anyway. I think as time becomes an ever decreasing commodity in people's lives, dating agencies and internet dating will become a more common way of people meeting. I met my wife three years ago and I've never had any regrets. I don't think I'd have a met a person as perfect as her if I'd spent a lifetime trawling bars and nightclubs.
Martin - Wakefield, UK

I met my husband through an online dating site. I dated for about 5 months prior to meeting him and had a short-term relationship and several dates, there were people doing it for the wrong reasons and you definitely need to have an open mind and realistic expectations. The good thing is though that when you meet a genuine person you know they want the same things as you and I count myself extremely lucky to have met such a wonderful man who shares so many interests as me.
Samantha - Maidstone, UK

I met my wife on a dating website. We married last April and are expecting our first baby this October. We couldn't be happier. I've met the love of my life. My soul mate. I would recommend dating websites to anyone. They do work.
