Comscore (an Internet monitoring and market research company) is reporting a 16% rise in use of online dating among Britons. This is particularly interesting considering the global dating market has seen a drop of 1%
Feeling the pinch in the American market, the big online dating companies are going to be putting more effort into their UK campaigns, so I’m guessing we’re going to see a lot more of their advertising in the near future.
Hopefully, this will mean tougher competitions and therefore better deals and more variety for British online daters.

Lovestruck.com have come up with a convenient little iPhone app (convenient if you have an iPhone, at least).
Subscribers to the site can use the app for free, which is handy, as the site is aimed at busy city professionals who want to meet like minded singles who live or work near them.
Being able to easily arrange such informal dates on your mobile sounds like a damn fine idea.

I know lots of people go to ballroom dance classes to meet single men and women, but the problem is, a lot of the people who go to dance classes don’t want to be chatted up by people. They want to dance.
So where do you go if you want to dance and also want to meet like-minded singles?
Well, I got news of a fun singles’ dance / speed dating event coming up in March. It’s organised by Yogo Dating in conjunction with the Children’s Trust and even has some people from Strictly Come Dancing in it.
I don’t know Yogo Dating, but I think this is a brilliant idea. I’ve been to my fair share of tango classes and I know for a fact that any type of couples’ dance gives a great insight into what someone is like as a partner in a relationship (and some might say in bed, but I’m saying nothing).
It makes for a good speed dating event and it’s for a good cause too.

Being single may suck on a day when everyone seems to want to ram romance down your throat, but the buzz this date creates around love, dating and online dating can only mean one thing – new blood on dating sites!
It’s like a gym in January full of fresh-faced hopefuls with brand new tracksuits and 10 Christmas pounds to shed.
With so many dating sites having special offers on, too, now’s your chance to take another look at the dating site you’re already on, the one you looked at and thought wasn’t for you or ones you never even tried before. You never know who might have joined in the meantime…

It’s that happy time again. Forward thinking to Valentine’s day, Parship.co.uk are letting you use their site for free until Sunday. Hurry up and give it a go if you want to see what it’s all about.
On a site that won’t let you view pictures before you pay, being able to see who you’re talking to for free is a big big plus, I’m sure you’ll agree.
