Online dating is becoming massively popular, and for anyone living in London it represents a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, both for fun and as potential future partners.
The reason online dating works so well for people who live in the London area is it bypasses some of the problems with online dating.
Using dating websites can be hard if you live in small towns in the UK, only so many people will sign up to such sites meaning there is not much by way of variety.
Not so with online dating in London though.
Because of its large population London has a huge range of people, from all walks of life, signing up to dating websites every day.
Such a cross section means that you are far more likely to come across profiles that interest you, people that you think would be interesting dates or at least fun to flirt with! Targeting It gets better though.
With such a large population, the most of any city in the United Kingdom by far, London gets specifically targeted by dating websites for campaigns to get people to sign up.
This means that the proportion of those on dating websites who are based in London compared to anywhere else in the UK is far higher.
Specific London online dating sites exist, anything from girls seeking blokes for casual relationships to deeply religious sites specifically for people of certain faiths who want to get married.
As you would expect with a population as diverse as London's there is something for everyone.
Busy London Many who work in London find themselves far busier then the rest of the UK, for example the average Londoner wakes up 44 minutes earlier than the rest of the UK population.
Because Londoners are so busy it can be difficult for them to find time to meet the right person, which makes online dating in London the perfect answer for many.
Such dating sites allow you to spend a few minutes here and there searching profiles, flirting via PM or replying to interest, minutes that would otherwise be wasted, and certainly time that it is unlikely that you would be able to spend meeting potential new dates in the 'real world'.
Giving the amount of time many Londoners spend on public transport - buses, trains etc, the ability to use these sites when on the move via your mobile phone can be a God send.
It can help pass by what would be an otherwise boring journey with flirting, whilst also helping you to utilize wasted time by using it to meet new people.
Central Whilst London is a huge area that can take time to get around it is also usefully designed for 'ease' of getting into the centre (providing everything is working as it should), this means that you have a huge amount of potential meeting places in London, things to do, all in public places (an essential for first time dates you meet online).
It has a plethora of fun and flirty places you can go to see if you like someone as much offline as you do their online persona.
Online dating in London is taking off in a big way, and for good reason.
