In light of a recent study revealing that couples who meet online stand a greater chance of success than those who meet in 'the real world' (we must say, we couldn't agree more!) The big question is; what is it about online dating that works so well? Well, today in the MSF offices, we tuned in to the ITV breakfast show 'This Morning' to join Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield chatting to Eden Blackman about why online dating really does work. We've also managed to jot down a handy little 'Do's and Don'ts' guide for those of you already online, or looking to set up a new profile!

Happy Monday to all. We trust you had an excellent weekend and went on lots of lovely dates (if you did, we'd love to hear about them so drop us an email to blog@mysinglefriend.com).

Was anyone lucky enough to catch the first episode of 'Dates' on Channel 4 on Monday night? It was fantastic: an acerbic two-hander between David (Will Mellor) and Mia (Oona Chaplin) which laid bare the hopes, expectations, surprises and the sometimes painful realities that can make up a blind date.

We've written before about making people laugh with your mysinglefriend.com profile: it's the surest way to anyone's heart, or at least to them having a good look at your profile and asking you out on a date. It's not often that pictures genuinely funny - it tends to be the wit of the profile that will make a potential date smile - but we've come across some very amusing pictures of late. We introduced you to Rhion and his amazing picked height-measuring device a couple of weeks ago, which you loved, and this week we'd like you to meet Charlie, who enjoys a bit of garden-based slapstick...
