The popularity of online dating is not just confined to the UK, it has been suggested.<\/p>\n

Writing for the Daily Mail, Joanne Hart noted the medium is widely utilised in Germany, Australia and the US – which is home to the most advanced internet liaison market in the world.<\/p>\n

The reporter observed there are currently 15 million single people in Britain – and a third of them have attempted to hook up with a prospective partner via the world wide web.<\/p>\n

But it seems the system can prosper anywhere on the planet, she indicated, adding: "Online dating services can develop in any country where consumers have internet access and credit cards."<\/p>\n

Ms Hart stated singletons are tending to date for longer spells than they ever have done before and claimed large numbers of them are doing so through online methods.<\/p>\n

Recent posts on the My Sun's Woman Forum suggested playing it cool can be one of the most effective ways to approach a date.<\/p>\n
