Why is that, you might ask?
Well, think about it. Are you single? Then CONGRATULATIONS! You being single means that there are such an abundance of dates floating around in the internet that you simply wouldn't believe!
If you really think about it, we live a time and age when the world truly is your oyster. You get to create these mostly free online dating profiles and search for EXACTLY the kind of person YOU want to date. Then simply hit them with a message, arrange dates and go have some fun (who knows how far that one simple date might take you.)
Also, it's very very easy for even the most computer-illiterate person on earth to just go ahead and get awesome dates online. You don't need to learn to write excellent text or be able to take professional quality photographs of yourself. Simply log in, write something cheeky (yet honest) about yourself, upload a decent photo and you're good to go.
Success in online dating can be very simple (not necessarily easy, but at least simple). But you have to know how the game works in order for it to bring you good results.
These are the promises of online dating.
