This gives you an opportunity to work out whether they might be a good fit for you &ndash; something you would not be granted access to in more traditional forms of dating.<\/p>\n<p>What's more, it may well prove to be a key factor in keeping you together, as there is some evidence in advance that you and your date will be a match.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, if you are fed up of being single you may well wish to sign up to a dating site today and start chatting to like-minded Britons.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801670474-ADNFCR\"
