why.<\/p>\n<p>The method has been proven to work in thousands of cases and there are now many happy couples together as a result of match-making websites.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major advantages of online dating is that there are so many people using it, so individuals can be confident that they will be able to meet someone who shares their desires.<\/p>\n<p>Venturing out to a pub or club might be a more traditional way to secure a date, but it offers no guarantees that suitable &ndash; or even single &ndash; people will be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, many details about prospective dates can be checked out prior to a first meeting with an online match, giving users confidence that they will meet only like-minded individuals.<img decoding=\"async\"
