Online dating has grown exponentially since it first went mainstream in the 90s. The latest craze in the world of virtual matching are dating apps as well as online dating sites that cater to a specific demographic. Pew Research says 38% of unattached Americans have used dating sites or apps and 5% of Americans say they’re married or in a committed relationship with someone they met online. These statistics are exciting as the wave of future partnering unfolds before us.
A University of Chicago study last year found that more than one third of marriages between 2005 and 2012 began as online connections and they tended to be happier and last longer than those that began offline. Amazing, right? These days, for those in search of Latin Lovers, there are more and more niche Latino dating sites popping up, while existing dating sites increasingly enable you to search by ethnicity. Now, if you think that searching by heritage and culture are big no-no’s, you’d be wrong. According to Online Dating Expert, Julie Spira, “Modern day dating must include a proactive approach and old dating rules need to be tossed out the window. This is no different than looking for your dream job. The digital playground is crowded, but the possibilities are huge for singles looking for love online.” To help you in this search, we’ve found the 15 best online places to find amor.
