DATING STRATEGY: Mate1.com Advises Members to Consider Timing

Match.com recently released a report that debunks the mystery of when people believe certain things should happen in the dating process.

2012-05-23

NEW YORK, NY, May 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) According to an article from TechNewsDaily, recent Match.com survey results showed that key moments in a relationship are happening sooner rather than later. Researchers from The Kinsey Institute and the Institute for Evolutionary Studies at Binghamton University helped lead the study for Match.com. After looking at the findings, Mate1.com, an online dating service, agreed that timing is vital, especially in today's singles scene where daters are connecting constantly

The survey addressed key moments in the various stages of a relationship, starting with the post-date follow-up call. Twenty-three percent of the 5,000 people surveyed believed it was okay to call someone one day after going on a date. Mate1.com Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elizabeth Wasserman said the "three-day rule" definitely does not apply to online dating, particularly in a world where daters are always connecting to each other online and three-days can seem like an eternity, or even an insult. "The fact remains that if you really like someone, a follow-up within 24 hours is your best shot at keeping them interested."

Match.com's survey found 85 percent of respondents were okay with a peck on the cheek on the first date. Forty percent, on the other hand, said they would take it beyond a kiss on the first date. In terms of public affection, forty-one percent of men stated they were not shy about showing it, while 31 percent of women preferred not to engage in PDA activities. In keeping with the dismissal of the 'three day rule' for a post-date call, it seems that the 'three-date' sex rule may also be on the wane. In the survey, only 12 percent of respondents noted their interest in going "all the way" after just two or three dates.

Overall, 34 percent of respondents stated they expected their partner to discuss past relationships after one month of dating. Nearly 30 percent of singles also noted that it was not appropriate to bring up financial issues with the other person until being together for two or three months. Thirty-five percent of daters expect to be introduced to their partner's parents by the two- or three-month mark. As for meeting their friends, 43 percent think that they should meet their partner's friends within that same time period.

Considering the survey findings, Mate1.com management notes that technology has changed the dating scene significantly since the organization was founded nine years ago. Besides social media websites, like Facebook and Twitter, communicating with singles through email or text messages has become more common. Singles can set up dates, have conversations and send photos to each other with the click of a button. Match.com's survey found that 18 percent of respondents want to be friends on Facebook after two or three dates.

DURHAM, N.C. – Antibodies that help to stop the HIV virus have been found in breast milk.
