In particular, the guide praised for2 as a “site with a real difference” and applauded our commitment to “no subscriptions, ever”. Here are a few of the things that make us stand out from the crowd.

Posted by for2 | Posted in for2 News | Posted on May 16, 2012Official: dating sites now more popular than pubs & clubs for finding romance
Posted by for2 | Posted in Online Dating | Posted on May 14, 2012
If you thought that online dating is a less romantic way of meeting the Love of Your Life, you now have a scientific reason to think again. That’s because recent research has shown that finding love over the internet is not just an increasingly easy way of meeting a marriage partner, but has become easier than the traditionally most common way – in a pub or club. In fact, 62% of those who participated in the survey agreed that it is easier to meet someone on a dating site rather than in a pub or club, or through friends.
East Anglians top UK kissing charts
Posted by for2 | Posted in Relationships | Posted on May 2, 2012A new survey has found that East Anglians kiss the most with an average of nine kisses each week, but that Scottish kisses last the longest – an average Scottish smacker lasts 28 seconds. The survey also found that 20% of married couples across the UK don’t kiss for an entire week, and when they do, it lasts no more than five seconds. The findings have been released to launch a campaign by the British Heart Foundation to teach lifesaving skills such as the kiss of life to school children as part of the national curriculum.
Romantic relationships driven by women, says new study
Posted by for2 | Posted in Relationships | Posted on April 27, 2012
A new study on mobile phone usage, published in the Journal of Scientific Reports, suggests that women call their spouse more than any other person. This changes as their daughters become old enough to have children, after which they become the most important person in their mother’s life. The data also shows that, around their mid-30s, women start to switch the preference of their best friend from someone about their own age, so that by the time they are 45 a woman of a generation younger has become the “new best friend”.
Almost half of divorced men looking to marry again
Posted by for2 | Posted in Online Dating | Posted on April 20, 2012Today, acronyms are everywhere, and the world of dating is no exception. And one of the most recent to become popular in the dating industry is DADAs – men who are Divorced And Dating Again. This category of men, according to a recent survey, are extremely active on the online dating scene – the report found that 47% of male DADAs are “actively” looking to tie the knot again, compared to just 20% of women, and 31 % of male DADA use internet dating websites actively compared to just 19% women.

New research has shown that half of the UK’s singletons use dating websites to find love. The study has confirmed that the stereotypical idea of online dating as something which is restricted to the socially awkward computer nerd looking for romance has gone, and that the practice is now completely socially normalised and accepted as a mainstream way of meeting people. Also gone is the idea that people who use dating websites are unromantic and merely looking for someone who literally ticks the right boxes.
QuickSearch makes for2 even easier to use
Posted by for2 | Posted in for2 News | Posted on March 27, 2012At for2 we’re always looking to add new and fun features. It’s what helps to make us a little different from other dating sites out there. But it’s not ALL about adding new features – we’re also always trying to improve the features we already have – to make the site even more powerful and easy to use. That’s why, for example, we added our Private Albums function – all dating sites have photo albums, but how many have a Private photo facility? Very few, is the answer. The latest feature we’ve improved is our already powerful Search function – because, now, we’ve added a QuickSearch feature.
Recipe for long-lasting love
Posted by for2 | Posted in Relationships | Posted on March 26, 2012
Is there a recipe for a long-lasting relationship? Possibly not, but recent research has revealed that some ingredients are more likely than others to produce long-term happiness. The survey, of some 4,000 couples, showed that that two dinner dates a month, four cuddles a day and a romantic getaway twice a year are optimum levels of quality time together for a successful relationship. Other recipes for a romantic relationship include a trip to the theatre or cinema once a month, breakfast in bed once every four weeks and six proper conversations every month.
Your date – are they marriage material?
Posted by for2 | Posted in Relationships | Posted on March 19, 2012There’s probably no foolproof way to find out if you’re dating your perfect long-term partner. Although some websites offer complex and detailed “compatibility” assessments, there is no evidence that these are reliable, or even sensible. But that doesn’t mean that there’s absolutely nothing you can do to make a judgement as to whether someone is “marriage material”. Here are some indicators you can use to see whether the long-term prognosis for your relationship is a healthy one.
Discussion Board launched at for2
Posted by for2 | Posted in for2 News | Posted on March 14, 2012
Consisting of eight separate forums, each one dedicated to a different ”category” of discussion, the for2 forums offer something for everyone, from those who want to exchange trivia and share jokes, through those who want a serious debate on the issues of the day, to those who want to promote an event. Each forum is informal and friendly, and – although we ask members to remain polite and respectful – allows participants to say exactly what’s on their mind.
