- 31% of American adults—63 million people—say they know someone who has used a dating website.
- 26% of American adults—53 million people—say they know someone who has gone on a date with a person they met through a dating site.
- 15% of American adults—30 million people—say they know someone who has been in a long-term relationship or married someone he or she met online.
Since then, and in 2008 and the future, the growth has continued to explode. My own 28 year old son met his wife online and was married within a few months after a breakup with another gal.
Most of us know somebody who met their spouse or significant other online.
If you are like me, a person who was married for over 28 years trying to get back into the game, traditional dating is not even palatable: I am not good at i
t, the bars and nightclubs seem like meat-markets where only the most adept game players can score. I can get dates with eligible women in droves online ( I am on Hotornot, Match, Horney Matches, Plenty of Fish, and a few others), but the dates do not go well. I am considered young looking for my age, buff, atttractive, sexy…But ai m not succesful atthis game.

On the other hand, I am safe (have not been with anybody else in over 29 years, no diseases), patient, respectful, not in any hurry, self sufficient…and I wil hook up and finally get dating eventually, but I am far from good at it.
