Half of American adults know someone who found love online, Reuters reported.

But while the Internet plays a more important role than before in starting relationships, it is also a forum for cheating and lies that end them, according to a survey.

The survey of 1,000 people commissioned by marketing consultant Euro RSCG Worldwide found one in five said they have had a romantic or sexual relationship that started online. Forty-nine percent knew someone whose relationship began that way.

Conversely, one-third of respondents knew someone whose relationship ended because of online actions, and three-quarters believed sexual communications conducted online outside of a relationship constituted cheating.

據(jù)路透社報(bào)道，一半的美國(guó)成年人認(rèn)識(shí)一些從網(wǎng)上找到愛(ài)情的人。

一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，隨著網(wǎng)絡(luò)在開(kāi)啟感情上的作用越來(lái)越大，它也逐漸成為欺騙與謊言的溫床，而這些均導(dǎo)致了感情的終結(jié)。

市場(chǎng)咨詢(xún)公司靈智廣告公司對(duì)1000人進(jìn)行調(diào)查后發(fā)現(xiàn)，五分之一的人表示自己曾從網(wǎng)上開(kāi)始一段性關(guān)系或者浪漫的愛(ài)情。49%的人表示自己知道某些人的感情就是那樣開(kāi)始的。

但是與此相反的是，三分之一的受訪(fǎng)者知道一些人的感情是因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)上行為而結(jié)束的，還有四分之三的人認(rèn)為感情之外的網(wǎng)上性關(guān)系是一種背叛。
