ByValeriya Safronova April 11, 2018 Different studies offer varying assessments of how many people use dating sites and apps, but what we can say with certainty is: a lot. In Match.com’s annual Singles in America Survey, which polls more than 5,000 people who are not Match users, the company found that the No. 1 place where singles meet is online. In 2016, Pew reported that 27 percent of people aged 18 to 24 had used a dating app or site. In 2013, it was 10 percent.
