new report says most Americans think online dating is good way to meet people. Almost 60 per cent of Internet users said there is nothing wrong with trying to find partner on Internet. This has changed from ten years ago when the figure was 44 per cent. The report is from Pew Research Center. It says around one in ten Americans has used online dating services. It also said 11 per cent of people who started long-term relationship in past decade met their partner online. However, some people think Internet does not help with marriage. Around 32 per cent of people agreed that “online dating keeps people from settling down because they always have options for people to date".

Sociologist Dr Kevin Lewis of University of California told USA Today newspaper that women must be careful with online dates. He said: "For women, there are lots of guys who are just creepy or unattractive or undesirable." He also said men can have problems finding date: "They can't get woman to respond because [women get] so many messages." Dr Lewis also said that 38 per cent of online daters have read online profile of someone they knew. The Pew Report warned people to be careful about those who tell lies about themselves online. About 54 per cent of online daters said they had date with someone who was a lot different from their profile.
