Dr. Dato’s Brief:

The posts appearing in ADI News on the subject of online dating tends to be very short but in this case it is surprisingly longer than a couple of paragraphs and hence my Article Rating of 3.0. However, keep in mind that the Article Rating is also a measure of the quality of the content of the post and just merely its length.

This post has been submitted by Mark Whysall who upon further research (google search) I found to be the chief-editor of adi-news.com.

Ok, down to the original topic of conversation…
Essentially the post talks about the future online dating and in particular group dating as noted in the title. In case you were wandering how this works, its a new theme of online dating and works in that you join or setup groups and other people recommend you into that group. It’s supposed to give a sense of safety to people who want to date and we took a brief look at this type of dating in our blog posting of GroupeeLove.

Smart mobile apps. are mentioned to allow users to connect with other people very rapidly and on the go. I personally feel that this area of market will grow in the next few years. A social type dating website that is becoming prominent is SocialConnect which is a facebook app that allows users to form groups.

Where group dating has become somewhat popular in other countries such as Japan, it is not yet known how this kind of dating will do in the US market.

could group online dating become the next big thing in USA?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

The topic covered here is summary of interviews conducted by Karen Burkett with some online dating industry executives on the subject of love and how it relates to the industry. It is a brief account of some questions directed towards industry attendants of the iDate 2011.

To summarize the message, the meetings and conferences held at the dating conferences every year are to bring the online dating ‘business’ together into one place for further exchange of ideas, business, partnerships and more. Some of the people come to attract investors, others to provide services and many to deliver their knowledge of this industry.

I liked the catchy line used to describe this industry ‘there ain’t no romance, without finance’.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

This a post on some real life experiences of people who tried online dating, some with success and others without.

One elderly couple met through match and they found each other when their memberships were about to expire. Vito had put up a snippet of the last book he had read Life of Padre Pio and Denise found him while doing a search. “I noticed that something was different about his profile when mentioned the book, so I thought I would explore”. The two are now happily engaged.

Mary from Stony Brook was unfortunate in here experiences. The men she had met online didn’t seem at all compatible from their profiles online. She doesn’t yet know when she will go back to online dating.

Lewis of Setauket found it surprising that he ended up dating a girl that typically he would not have chosen had he met her offline.

Another dater Laura of Stony Brook tried the online dating and is currently dating someone she met online. She often tells people how they met and she said “About a third of people are surprised, a third are worried and a third say ‘that’s how people meet now”.

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

The post talks about the online dating scene in Denmark where it has been estimated that one in four couples now routinely find each other on the internet, reported by MetroXpress newspaper. Probably the ‘cold climate’ maybe :-), only kidding, although it would be worth examining the statistics and say other countries like Iceland. The advantage of online dating is that you can pre-screen all your dates before you commit to a date, so the time and effort in dressing, looking good and going to bars can be saved?

Anyways, the facts from this post suggests that the stigma associated with online dating is disappearing altogether, so says Morten Wagner founder of dating.dk who started his dating site in 1998.

University of Copenhagen researcher Charlie Breindahl says that you get to discuss the heavier issues related to dating before taking it further. Also, the real physical attraction, however, doesn’t occur until you meet in person, said Breindahl.
