Well it happened. It used to be that most people met their lifetime partners at parties, at work, or by being introduced through their network of family, co-workers and friends. But a recent poll by Harris Interactive shows that your chances of this kind of face-to-face falling-in-love shifted in 2007. Harris did an interactive online survey of 10,000 people who married in the U.S. during an 18 month period in 2006 and 2007. They found that more singles over 45 found love online rather than off-line during that period! So online dating is good and getting better!!

Tens of thousands of people have married someone they met online. Another Harris study showed that on average 236 couples marry each and every day who met on eharmony. Technology is opening the floodgates of new love for singles. My suggestion: use it to maximum effectiveness by working two different sites–a larger well-established one like eharmony.com or Yahoo! Personals and a small niche one, like Jdate.com or greensingles.com.

Just a quick note to share with you–one of my love students who is in her late 30s is having success at www.planetearthsingles.com  She met a holistic doctor and they are having a great time!  So if you lean towards all things green, personal growth, vegetarianism or spirituality, check it out.  And tell me what results you get. 

Also, FYI, the oldest green site is www.greensingles.com  They may have a whole new crop of dating possibilities for you in the progressive singles community devoted to the environment, vegetarianism, animal rights and personal growth.

And finally, if you are looking for a match who is green, liberal and politically active, try www.democraticsingles.net  for an aligned match. 

      Please give me feedback on your green online dating adventures!

Here’s to more love,
