Looking for a Spring Break Fling? Then Head On Over to True
It's no surprise to me that online daters are looking for more nooky than love - that's why sites like AdultFriendFinder have done so well for so long. But when statistics from the largest online dating site (according to the most recent Top 10 Dating Sites in the U.S. post) prove it?
Okay, I'll admit it: I was a bit surprised that online dating users had become so honest about their spring break fling wants.
True asked just over five hundred of their users this month what they were looking for relationship-wise on their spring break this year: friendship, casual dating, a spring break fling, long-term relationship, or marriage. A full thirty percent answered they were looking for a spring break fling, with a close twenty-nine percent opting for casual dating.
"Dating is all about where you are in your life,"
said TRUE's relationship expert and profile coach in a recent press release.
"I think that many people make the assumption that because someone joins a dating site, they're ready to settle down. But we know that many of our members are in a stage of their lives where they simply want to date around and explore relationships with other singles."
Although the sample group was small, the results do share a lot about True's users, of whom eighty-six percent said they'd be open to dating someone long-term they met after having a spring break fling with them.
