ultimately failed to meet up with Mr Right via a site, but his indulgence in the practice will act as a further confidence boost for those who are thinking of signing up.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the stigma that was once attached to online dating has now disappeared, as is proved by the support it has received from celebrities such as Revel-Horwood.<\/p>\n<p>He told the Birmingham Mail he spent some time writing his own profile and got plenty of responses, although he admitted some were for &quot;all the wrong reasons&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I was on there for a month and went on a couple of dates, but it didn't work out,&quot; Revel-Horwood said, adding: &quot;It is a bit scary meeting new people.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>However, he added that finding your profile matches with someone else eliminates plenty of tension from a first date, as the couple already know they have things in common.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801691974-ADNFCR\"
