You've got 'love' mail
15/02/2007 07:18  - (SA)  

  • 'Love, love, love!'
  • Choc massage for your Valentine
  • Sexy food to seduce your lover
  • Cape Town - Two-thirds of young professionals ditch traditional wooing techniques for e-flirting.

    Sixty-five percent of under 35 year olds would prefer to send a Valentine email or viral to someone they fancy, rather than a card.

    This is according to yesnomayB.com, the internet dating site, which surveyed 150 young professionals.

    Respondents believed they were more likely to get an immediate response from the prospective Valentine and felt more comfortable flirting over email.

    Not knowing the postal address of the person they fancy and feeling that a card is more full on were the key reasons behind not sending a more traditional card.

    "The web 2.0 generation is most comfortable working and playing via the internet," said Amanda Tsinonis, co-founder of dating site, yesnomayB.com.

    Most popular approach for fun flirting

    "They use it for keeping in touch with friends, managing finances, buying music and groceries, as well as establishing online personalities on sites such as MySpace.

    "It's unsurprising that it should become the fastest and most popular approach for fun flirting and potentially finding love as well."
