If you are looking for love, forget making online dating profiles as a new web site helps you find your perfect date on Facebook.

Canoodle.com uses Facebook profile details to hook up singles with each other, based on their favourite movies, books, interests, and location, News.com.au reported.

The website was launched by global dating company Cupid on Monday.

Cupid's Mark Doughty told the publication that the new site makes meeting new people quick and easy.

"Our site makes the chore of writing a traditional dating profile, which can often be an agonising experience as you try to find the right words, a thing of the past," Doughty said.
