Online daters ‘should avoid poor grammar’

Single soldiers hoping to find a lover through online dating might want to make sure their grammar is up to scratch.

Writing for sofeminine.co.uk, Jo Middleton has revealed poor punctuation can be a real turn-off for internet browsers studying the profile of a prospective partner.

The relationship expert noted the odd mistake is fine but added blatant disregard for proper spelling could possibly ruin a couple’s chances of hooking up.

"One thing I really can’t keep an open mind about is sloppy grammar," the reporter remarked.

Ms Middleton recommended a person should take their time over any correspondence between themselves and those they are attracted to, as first impressions are key in such a scenario and so the initial email should not be peppered with mistakes.

A recent survey conducted by the Scientific Research Centre found online liaisons are becoming an increasingly common source of relationships among women in the UK.
