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

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