London - a quarter of all first dates are now the result of meeting online, according to a poll.

One in four Britons admit they prefer finding potential partners on smartphone apps than in real life.

And almost half say they use search engines and social media to find out more about their possible mate – even if they met offline.

But once we’ve found a likely candidate, it seems we become much more low-tech. The quiz of 1,000 adults by Domino’s Pizza found that going for casual drinks is considered the ideal first date.
