• Over 50% of all singles in America have not had a date in more than two years.
• According to research conducted at Michigan State University, relationships that start out online are 28% more likely to break down in their first year than relationships where the couples first met face-to-face. And it gets worse. Couples who met online are nearly three times as likely to get divorced as couples that met face-to-face.
• 53% of people lie on their online dating profile.
• Dinner for Six, a matchmaking service in Denver, Colorado says that 51% percent of online dating singles are already in a relationship, yet are putting themselves out there as being single.
• Rejection hurts, and not just metaphorically. Being turned down stimulates the same part of the brain that processes physical pain, according to a 2011 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "Social rejection and physical pain are similar not only in that they are both distressing, they share a common representation in somatosensory brain systems as well," the study's authors wrote. Basically, our brains can't tell the difference between a broken heart and a broken bone. Instead of one rejection at a bar on a Saturday night, the popularity of online dating gives users many more opportunities to feel rejected faster.
• The most common time for breakups is around three to five months.
Online dating….has become “dating”….and this is the result. Some good, some OK,…and quite a lot of bad.
The most powerful statistic of all is the high number of singles in the US that have not had a date in more than 2 years!!! Stunning.
If technology is the solution…and we have thousands of profiles at our fingertips to sift through….why is dating so hard? For something that has become technically simpler, there sure are a lot of people having trouble.
Why?
Maybe these people aren’t really finding what they’re looking for. Or the digital journey is not what they thought it would be. Some have commented that apps have become glorified hookup services and that it is hard to find someone who actually wants a relationship.
Or maybe, our collective assumptions about dating and even marriage have strayed off course.
How about taking a fresh look at an old problem?
Welcome to DateU. We invite you to come on a journey with us.
Our path is different than most. Instead of spending time on things like tweaking your online profile, or giving tips on searching for Mr./Mrs. Perfect, we want to help you look in the mirror.
We start with the mirror, because we believe that the secret to “finding the one” is revealed by “becoming the one.”
At DateU we understand that while not promoted in books, movies and music, there is STILL a sizable group of couples in this country that experience exactly what you are looking for. Love for a lifetime, with all the joys, challenges, triumphs and heartaches the journey brings our way.
