You know I used to be a bible teacher… That would be Sunday School at a local Baptist church… I was a singles teacher which is often the hardest teaching position in a church to fill…People don’t want to mess with singles and their problems. Do YOU? But how many problems do singles actually have?

It’s funny… Many people that are married or together with somebody will envy their single friends…And then single people want to be with somebody… It just goes round and round.

Where does one go to get “hooked up”? With the success of MySpace and other networking sites it appears more and more are going with the internet to pick up dates. (Been there done that myself) For better or worse…  :O

It’s easy to pass hours at a time talking to prospects on the other end of a computer… As un tangable as that might be… People talk about “falling in love” over the internet without ever meeting the person face to face… Very strange.

But hey! It’s all good… You can have that guy that looks like your dad on TV over at eHarmony sign you up with a credit card to meet thousands of people that are looking for love. Current Offer:  20% off a 6 month subscription. Code: CJSUMMERPROMOAABB. Expiration: Nov 30th 2008. And their “system” matches you up perfectly with a mate…What could be better?

Jason Stockwood, international managing director for match.com, says: “The ‘match100′ is a vocal, diverse group of all ages from across the nation and their opinions and experiences will make a huge impact on our business.”

    Date.com Sees Growth in New Subscribers;

    Members Spending More Time Looking for Love Online Than on Actual Dates

MIAMI BEACH, FL, Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ - The majority of Americans are hurting in today’s recessed economy and the Nation’s singles are no different, with many getting pink slipped before happy hour. And, as people cut back on everything from consumer electronics to out-of-home eating/entertainment spending, Avalanche, LLC, owner of leading online dating site Date.com, reported today that it has experienced growth during these cash strapped times. Additionally, a new poll reveals that site members are becoming frugal with dating, investing more time looking for love online before committing to a date.

“We were not surprised that overall revenues for Date.com grew 17% compared to the first and second quarters of last year,” said Meir Strahlberg, CEO of Avalanche. “Singles are being a lot more strategic with their dating methods, spending more time making sure the person they meet online is worth the cost of a date. And, while many members are reining in what they deem non-essential expenditures, we’ve found that with singles the search for love and a soul mate is as much of a priority as paying the monthly rent check or electric bill.”

In addition to the influx of new subscribers, current members of Avalanche’s suite of online dating sites are logging in with more frequency and spending hours searching through profiles, sending e-mails and utilizing the private chat capabilities. In fact, there has been a steady increase in online activity since the start of the fiscal year with 3% or more month over month, while cumulative growth has netted a 26% change.

Given today’s economic climate, we also decided to poll our members to see how they are coping socially. In a new survey of thousands of single men and women nationwide, we asked: The recession might be hurting your wallet, but how has it affected your dating life?

    Following are the complete poll results:    I spend more time online/on the phone before actually               48%

    setting up a face-to-face date. If I'm going to spend

    the cash, I want to make sure the date is worth it.

I'm a lot more creative with first dates. Coffee and                11%

    a stroll through the park is a great first date that

    won't break the bank!

I stopped going to bars and clubs to pick up people,                11%

    the cost for entrance fees and drinks alone were

    killing me! I've been trying to meet people in other

    places, like online, during my commute, at the gym

    or Barnes & Noble.

Third date dinner and a movie is no longer in my                     9%

    budget, although the nightcap and nookie at my/their

    place is certainly cost effective.

The recession isn't affecting me at all, I'm still                   5%

    going all out on dates

All of the Above                                                    16%
