Authentic Loving | happiness come with relations ..

Ever get a case of the ‘dating blahs’, I have and it can make you feel really down-and-out. Most times being single and part of the dating scene is a lot of fun and can really be exciting but after a while if you have not had much success, the ‘blues’ can set in.

What I always do when I hit the lows of dating is take a break from all dating activities. I spend time with friends and family and even some quality time alone. After a few weeks I launch a fresh start and remember that being single can be tons of fun!

I usually get setup on dates from friends or family but this time I will give it a try using a dating service, so far most friends have recommended Entre-Nous Network so they will be first on my list. I actually have friend that met his partner with Entre Nous so I know there is hope for me.

It is claimed that this results in about 120,000 marriages annually just short of 50% of online daters are men, a few months before the recent survey it was said that 56% of online daters are men. The figures in India is quite close to that of US, 48% of online dating site are men and in the UK about 50% of men use online dating sites

The picture is not very clear in Africa mainly because the use of Internet is not quite as wide as in the aforementioned countries but in South Africa, the online dating scene is beginning to take or as hundreds of South African online dating sites are launched.

Dating industry watcher said between January 2009 and now (May 2009) the numbers of singles in UK using online dating has gone up by 56%, several explanation was offered for this but the most plausible are the fact that single people looks for companionship to weather the economic storm and the fact that online dating on average cost far less than going out the the usual hunts of singles.

What every the reason, one of UKs fastest growing dating site Im Yours said it has recorded about 52% rise in membership this year when compared with last year.
