Internet dating has gone from daring to dull. As a result, many singles these days are looking to their cell phones instead of their laptops in an effort to locate love. Cell phone technology now allows users to post tiny photographs and mini-profiles to a dating service mailbox, which can be visited by other cell phone users in search of a date. When a profile looks promising, users use their phones to send a text message to their person of interest.
Some phone dating services also are experimenting with ways to turn cell phone into homing devices. In other words, the phones can alert users to potential dates who may be just a short distance away - or, at the other end of the bar.
Europeans are heavily into phones dating, and China, which has 430 million cell phone users, also has embraced “mobile romance.”
The wireless service providers love phone dating, too, because all that text messaging pumps up their revenues. Analysts estimate that global mobile dating revenues were US $31 million in 2005; by 2009, that figure is projected to reach US $215 million.
Some people say that phone dating is more about flirting than about serious romance. “People who want to use their mobile devices are more interested in short-term relationships than people who want to use their computers,” said an officer of Match.com, a service with a quarter-million mobile users.
But, who really can say for sure. The next time the cell phones rings, it could be one calling Cupid.
According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A
Many unmarried people use their cell phones rather than laptops to locate love.
B
Match.com has two hundred thousand mobile users,
C
European people like phone dating.
D
Internet dating has gone from daring to uninteresting.
