ARTICLE:
Love on the internet
The Internet has changed the dating scene forever; contacts
can be made almost instantly and email exchanges have made
letter writing and those first awkward phone calls a thing
of the past. On-line dating allows users to search databases
interactively, look at photos and easily select the criteria
they want for their perfect match. Singles dating chat rooms
allow for safe initial exchanges while prospective partners
check each other out.
But it's not all roses, Colleen
Moulding has a few words of caution for those of you thinking
about signing up to an on line dating agency or singles chat
room. [MORE

Readers tips and
comments
Ann from British Colombia, Canada
has written in with her advice to single travellers, and it's
this: "Go for it! I waited way to long before
I got up the courage to join a singles vacation, but having
done it once, now there is no stopping me! Singles vacations
suit me fine, I don't need to worry now if my friends can't
get away at the same time as me as I know I can join in with
a welcoming crowd of new friends anytime. I just want to encourage
others not to waste all that time wondering if they should
try it, like I did."
Jim from Leeds, UK has written: "I'd
recommend a cycling holiday for single people, I've tried
a few cycling tours since my divorce five years ago; they
have always been very enjoyable and I've met some very pleasant
people. They were not 'singles only' holidays and I think
I prefer it that way as you get a broader mix."
