A national survey by Chemistry.com revealed that Americans are broad-minded when it comes to love. Chemistry.com commissioned the survey to continue to host the dialogue with single Americans and gain additional insight into current attitudes and behaviors around dating and relationships.
The survey, conducted by Gfk Roper Public Affairs, reveals Americans’ true beliefs on controversial topics ranging from pre-martial sex to same sex relationships, demonstrating that Americans have a progressive and open-minded perspective on modern day relationships.
Here are some highlights of the survey:
• 84% of Americans agree that people who have been divorced have just as much a right to find a romantic relationship as singles
• A large majority of Americans, 84%, agrees that there is nothing wrong with premarital sex between two consenting adults in a relationship
• 72% of singles agree that gay people fall in love the same way straight people do
• About eight in ten (79%) single Americans believe that gay people should have the right to find a meaningful relationship and (74%) of singles endorse the idea of gay marriage or civil unions

Disappointed with service at Chemistry.com. Expected possible matches within a reasonable geographic distance, but 3 of the first 5 persons identified for me were located between 175 and 350 miles away. My emails to their customer service address have gone unanswered for over three weeks.
