Does anyone know any statistics on how many people meet in person after meeting online?

Question

I have several friends using online matchmaker services and I'm just curious how many people actually meet in real life. I know it used to be considered "desperate" but it seems so acceptable now. I just wonder how many people actually meet in person. I'm trying to convince someone that it can be safe and a great way to make new friends or start a relationship so any actual statistics would be greatly appreciated! Please no personal stories.

Please no personal stories. I'm not looking to meet anyone. I'm very happily married! I just want some statistics.

Answer 1

it depends on the service but in general about 65-80%
