London is a city that has embraced online dating.<\/p>\n

As people increasingly go on the internet in search of love, the UK's capital is somewhat ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n

According to Joel Simkhai, who has created a number of dating apps, there is something about the people in the capital that makes them receptive to social networking on all levels.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the London Evening Standard, he said individuals enjoy the opportunity to cut straight to the point.<\/p>\n

"You go on, you search, you message back and forth, then you arrange to meet," he added.<\/p>\n

Single people keen to find their Mr or Mrs Right could find success on the web, where their anonymity is protected until they are ready to disclose it.<\/p>\n

However, individuals should not leave it too long before arranging a meet, as it is important to establish early on whether or not there is any chemistry in a budding relationship.<\/p>\n
