LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Online dating has increased over the years in popularity.

And with more options such as Tinder, Match, Zoosk, etc., the dating scene has expanded with many people looking for love online.

A study out of Stanford University and the University of New Mexico showed almost 40 percent of couples met online.

However, finding love online can also be dangerous - as the risk of being a victim through online dating may be higher or lower based on where you live, according to a recent report .

A team compiled a list of the safest and most dangerous states for online dating by using recent stats on violent crime, cybercrime statistics, STD data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with sex education data.

The most dangerous state overall came back as Alaska followed by Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Nevada.

Online dating can be a great way to connect with new people, of course, but keep an eye out for any potential warning signs.

Experts say to tell friends when meeting up with someone you met online, arrange transportation, and meet in a public place as far as a few safety tips.

(KUTV) —

If you've ever been afraid of online dating, this study may ease some of your nerves.

According to highspeedinternet.com, Utah is the fifth safest state in the country for online dating.

The safest states for online dating are:

  1. Vermont
  2. West Virginia
  3. New Hampshire
  4. Maine
  5. Utah
  6. Wyoming
  7. Idaho
  8. Iowa
  9. Connecticut
  10. Montana

For the second year in a row, Vermont ranks as the safest state in the nation. It scored low in cybercrime, violent crime and STDs rates.

Alaska is considered to be the most dangerous state.

The most dangerous states for online dating are:

  1. Alaska
  2. Louisiana
  3. Mississippi
  4. Georgia
  5. Nevada
  6. Arizona
  7. New Mexico
  8. New York
  9. California
  10. Illinois

The results of the study were based on data from the FBI, STD data from the Center for Disease Control and the Census for each state that ranked its safety.

Online dating can be dangerous for many reasons. Meeting up with a stranger can expose anyone to several types of crime and unpleasant situations.

In 2018, the FBI warned Americans after people across the country lost a total of $230 million in catfish scams that started on a dating site.

Then, there are cheaters. A study published in "Computer of the Human Behavior" estimated 22% of Tinder profiles are already in a committed romantic relationship.

However, despite all the things that could go wrong, a lot of people do find love online.

A study published in 2019 suggests nearly 40% of Americans first met their partner online.
