The Internet certainly does streamline the dating process by search engine technology and email, so the stat doesn’t completely surprise me in one sense. Back in the day, I had to be by the phone to get a guy’s call. Remember that agony? Now – you can connect any time via email and start your search whenever the mood hits you. I guess that flexibility (and focus – after all, most people only join dating services if they are seriously looking for a spouse) can speed things up.
