There are many useful resources for people who want to initiate a serious relationship, but in spite they can learn a few seduction tricks from books about romance, dating blogs and relationship coaches, it seems that singles are likely to rely on their friends when seeking advice on dating and relationships.

Men’s perspective

A recent study conducted by the dating site, where 5,500 singles from different ages, and walks of life were asked about their dating habits, shows that nearly 50% of male respondents tend to ask their guy friends for advice about seducing women.

Their female friends and co-workers seem to be great love counsellors as well because 34% and 20% of male participants confessed that they rely on them when they need help with their love life.

Siblings and ex partners are the last option. Only a 19% and 13% of single men respectively ask them for romantic advice.

Women’s perspective


Single women also prefer to seek their friends and co-workers’ advice when it comes romance. The difference is that more women consult their female friends (66% of them) and work mates (30%) about their love life.



Dating myth or reality?


However, as recent studies show, singles feel more comfortable asking someone they know for ages and with whom they are familiar with, like colleagues or work mates, when they need advice about their dating life and relationships rather than a dating expert or a blogger.
