newly-released research from Coffee Meets Bagel, which has found that the majority of individuals who use the internet to find that special someone are not looking for anything casual.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a further 13 per cent of women and four per cent of men admitted they want to find a spouse on the web.<\/p>\n<p>Dawoon Kang, a social dating expert, noted most of the people who were questioned as part of the study were in their 20s, but still wanted something long-term.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It's encouraging to see that an equal number of men and women are looking for serious relationships from online dating and believe that it makes it easier to meet interesting people,&quot; she added.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, a majority of both sexes think it is easier to meet interesting individuals
