Online dating is being used by many people and is no longer thought of in the same way as it once was.<\/p>\n
That is the view of a writer from the Waikato Times, who says: "It's more mainstream than you might think."<\/p>\n
She spoke to Shannon Lawton, who found her husband via an internet dating site nine years ago.<\/p>\n
Ms Lawton explains she had just moved to a different area and "wanted to find new friends and maybe a new boyfriend".<\/p>\n
The singleton exchanged emails with her future husband and used instant messaging before meeting up in person and deciding to wed.<\/p>\n
They now have two children together and Ms Lawton explains her partner was the first person she talked to on the web.<\/p>\n
Single soldiers keen to ensure their profiles stand out from the crowd might consider following the advice of artist and performer R Luke Dubois, who recently told ABC News many people are open and honest online because they want to be noticed.<\/p>\n
