Two third of the singles looking for love in Britain turned to the Internet last year, according to figures made in public yesterday. Special sites offer introductions to smokers, Roman Catholics, tall people, beautiful people, frequent flyers and vegetarians. Technology has brought about a great change in the dating games.
A survey by Parsnip, a Briatain branch of Europe’s largest dating service with more than 1.5 million members, says that 65 percent of the 5.4 million Britons looking for a relationship used online dating services last year.
A spokeswoman for Relate, the relationship advisor, confirmed the a figure of two thirds feel it all right. “Doing it online allows people quite a lot of privacy, because they can do a bit of quite research and look around from the comfort of their own home. You don’t have to meet a middleman or go to an actual dating agency office, which takes a lot of courage.” She said.
There are more than 100 independent online dating agencies in Britain. Parsnip says that 50 percent of single people believe they will meet a suitable partner through the Internet, from 35 percent six months ago.
Mary Balfour, the founder, say that Internet has changed the dating industry complexly. “It’ s like a return to old-fashioned love letters.” She said “You don't’t base your initial judgement on how someone looks or what his or her figure is like. You e-mail or talk before uou actually see each other. Everybody you know who is single these days has at least had a good look at a dating site, introduction agency or personal ad. They have to, because al the old matchmaking institutions have gone. People work harder, settle down later and live more isolated lives.

Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali Al-Nuaimi had earlier said there would not be any shortage of oil in the market .The organization had already taken steps to fill the gap .he said .OPEC Secretary General Ali Rodriguez added that the period of the Iraq stopping exports was not known ,so other exporters were not going to lift quotas yet .If the market was destabilized (动摇的),a suitable response could be made .
