Among all relationships, our romantic relations, whether it is dating or marriage, remain the most special ones in our lives. Singles across America are on constant lookout for suitable partners either for a long term or short term association. Social Sciences studies and data show that a vast majority of individuals believe in the concept of a social bond in the form of a committed relationship with another individual.
John Locke states "Man is by nature a social animal." He is constantly in search of social bonds, whether it is in form of a legally accepted marriage or a casual dating relationship. Although there has been no official census on this matter in America, various private research data shows that almost 75% of young adults get involved in a romantic relationship at the age of 14. These researches also go on to say that 43% of married people are physically and emotionally much healthier than their non-committed counterparts.
This is of course good news for those who are actively looking out for partners. To add to it, today there are considerably more avenues for singles to look for partners than there were a few decades ago. The Internet has been a big boon for the "singles" that are "ready to mingle"! There are numerous dating services you can enroll for online which are popularly used by millions of Americans to find partners of their choice. These services can help you find casual dates as well as a person for a long term serious relationship or marriage.
Another big revolution that has affected the social norms of America is the gay revolution. Today most parts of the society readily recognize gay and lesbian relationships to be as acceptable as heterosexual relationships. Several states have also legalized homosexual marriages. Therefore looking for a same sex partner has become as easy and accessible as the heterosexual counterparts.
