Just because online dating is carried out in the comfort of your home, it doesn't mean you can't involve your friends, as you would normally do if you were looking to meet someone at work or in a pub.

So the next time you talk to your friends instead of asking if they want to go to the pub, ask if they would like to join you on a dating site so you can find love online together; the chances are they were thinking about it anyway but needed some encouragement from a friend.

Here are 5 ways enlisting the help of a friend can help you both find love online:-

1. It doubles your opportunities of meeting someone; your friend could recommend someone to you who he or she has met online and knows would be a perfect match for you ... or vice versa!

2. Two pairs of eyes are better than one so why not make a night of it and invite your friend over to yours so that you can log on and search for a date together.

3. Arrange a chat room date with your friend and other members; together you will be able to judge their characters and decide whether you want to take it further.

4. If you both meet someone online, arrange a double date. Not only is there safety in numbers but everyone will be in the same boat when you date "offline".

5. Finally, the majority of singles seek a second opinion before they date someone so if you are both registered with the same dating site, it's easy to ask your friend to log on and let you know what they think of someone before you pass on personal information or arrange a date.

With so many positive ways your friends can increase your online dating opportunities, start calling your friends today!

The Misconception about Online Dating So you've just joined an online dating site. You hurriedly, and half-heartedly fill out a profile with no picture, and then wait to be contacted. Several weeks go by, nothing. Now you are beginning to feel discouraged. Maybe people aren't as desperate as you first thought. You return to the site to do some browsing, you pick out a few profiles, and contact the people. Still nothing after a few more weeks. You are now tempted to contact the same people over and over again, thinking they didn't get your message the first time.
