DAILYMAIL.CO.UK - Aug 26 - There are more than 1,400 UK dating sites and the industry is expected to be worth ~£150M by 2014. Of the 16M singles in the UK, 60% have tried online dating at some point. Dr Warren spent 35 years counselling patients on relationship issues. Before launching eHarmony, he says he spent three years working with a team of scientists to define the characteristics that determine successful relationships. Dr Warren and his team use scientific methodology to try to discover how relationships work. They repeated the process with researchers at Oxford University, who analysed 1,000 married British couples. The work highlighted interesting cultural differences. Happy U.S. couples say they do a lot of laughing and kissing, but admit to regularly making excuses not to have sex. Successfully married Britons report having more sex, are better at dealing with in-laws and dividing chores. 800 of eHarmony 's UK members are already in long-term relationships after meeting on the site. They say there's also been more than 100 marriages and engagements among British members, too. FULL ARTICLE @ DAILYMAIL.CO.UK
