In Northern Ireland, free dating sites help people meet each other day after day, many of whom end up dating long term or falling in love. As it’s such a small country, it can be very easy to fall in love and find the perfect partner. The country only houses 1.8 million people, half of which are the opposite sex, narrowing it down to 900,000. Now 500,000 of them are married, leaving you with just 400,000 people to choose from. 100,000 of them are over 60 and 150,000 of them are under 18, so you’re literally in a game with 150,000 people!

But of those 150,000 people, more than half will be in a relationship and others might be homosexual, so you have a nice tidy choice of 50,000 in the end. The size of Newtownards.

Personally I used online dating a few times on my journey, and in particular free dating. These are my top 3 advantages of online dating.
1.Profile checking and honesty up front
Before you meet your date you can check up on them. They will have an online photo, profile and lots of personal information. As an extra tip, I often check their Facebook, Instagram etc. accounts too just to make sure that I trust them. This gives you a real trust and honesty and the chance to build up an online rapport with them before meeting.
2.Plenty of choice
If you don’t like one potential match, never fear. There are hundreds registered on these sites so you can always meet another one. In fact, at any one time, you could be chatting up to 50 different potential partners. Simply sift out the ones you don’t want and then whittle it down to the ones you really feel attracted to and want to meet.
3.Online Security
After the first real life meeting, you can feel secure as no personal private details are given out through the websites. They simply do the match making and public profile. You shouldn’t lie in that but they will also not reveal such details like phone number, email address, address etc. So you have a real online security with it and that should help you feel confident and comfortable when meeting a potential love.
So overall, online dating in Northern Ireland is really taking off. It is becoming more and more popular by the day with many couples meeting through it. When you have such a busy life, it really is a safe and secure option for a bit of kissing, some romance, sexual intercourse and even engagement or marriage. You will never know where your potential next partner is waiting. So get online and good luck!
