A lot of people assume that online dating only started out about 10-20 years ago. Some reports say that online dating has been around for a long period of time. In the 1800s, there are already some who broadcasted their need to find a partner. This was done through personal ads that were available in newspapers.

As time went on, this progressed to the radio, and then the television. Right now, there are various applications that make it possible for people to supposedly find their match. One of the oldest online dating websites is Operation Match. People who would like to use it would need to pay $3 in order to find their match. This is known to be the website that started it all.

The oldest of the online dating sites that are around today and the one that is noted as being the one that got the trend started is match.com. Match.com was started back in 1995 by Gary Kremen and it is Kremen who is acknowledged as being the founder of online dating. Since then the online dating market has exploded but is match.com that got the ball rolling.

Match.com was actually founded in 1993 but it was in 1995 when first made its debut online. The company behind match.com is headquarted in Dallas, Texas and is available in 8 different languages and can be accessed across the world in 25 different countries. Over the years the company has been acquired by different companies and it has also merged with other online dating sites to come to the current status that the dating solution is at currently.

Match.com has a very big profile as they have several television commercials and they also market themselves rigorously online and in other publications. There are a lot of online dating sites these days but there is only one that can make the claim as being the oldest and that is match.com.
