I bet you have searched online for your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. A nationwide survey from PhoneFling found that 62.4 percent of the 275,000 people who took the survey had used the internet to search for someone that they had dated in the past. The 46 years and older age range had the lowest percentage of 47.9 percent.

A few more things found in the survey about dating sites include:

• 86 percent have known someone that used an online dating site.
• 70.4 percent have known someone that took the interaction offline and met their date in person.
• 43.6 percent have even known someone that entered into a long-term relationship with someone after finding them through an online dating site.
• 88.7 percent said that they were more likely to choose a dating service if they could browse people’s profiles on their mobile phone.
• 71.5 percent of respondents said that they flirt more often using social networking sites or online dating than they do when they flirt face-to-face.

In regards to white lies about weight, height, appearance, age, career, or income, only about 10 percent of respondents admitted that online dating and social media sites made them “More Likely” to fib. In comparison 64.1 percent of the people surveyed stated that online dating and social media sites actually made them “Less Likely” to fib about these characteristics.
