Abstract:

The most important aspect of online dating is the messaging. Resting upon that argument, this project discursively analyzes naturally-occurring interactions between users on two online dating sites. Current facework, relationship initiation, and online dating research lacks a systematic understanding of the conversational processes involved in establishing a relationship online. This thesis addresses that deficit of understanding. Results show that there is a sequence and a set of resources that online dating users draw upon to get acquainted; suggesting a new typology of opening gambits based

Abstract:

The purpose of this study has been to investigate the virtual world that people are part of on online dating sites. To do this we have investigated two different research questions, which are the following: What functions do the online dating sites provide? Why and how are the online dating sites being used by their members? In order to gather information about these matters, we have used a qualitative method consisting of participating observation, scrutinizing and single person interviews. Our results indicate that people have different goals with their usage of online dating sites; some are

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to determine whether a three-category (3C) system for classifying profiles on online dating sites provides advantages over a two-category (2C) system as decision makers evaluate a long list of profiles. Two groups of single heterosexual or bisexual women ages 20 to 30 reviewed a list of 60 male profiles on simulated online dating sites to choose which profiled man they would most like to learn more about. One group (n = 53) evaluated the profiles using a 2C system; the other group (n = 56) used a 3C system. After making their choice, women in each group took a rese

Abstract:

Individuals high in rejection sensitivity have a lower rates of dating success and a lower probability of being in a romantic relationship, but could engaging in online dating improve the likelihood? The goal of this research is to determine whether individuals higher in rejection sensitivity indicate having more success in meeting potential romantic partners online when compared to meeting potential partners conventionally. It is hypothesized that individuals higher in rejection sensitivity will be more successful on first dates when initiated though online dating sites / apps rather than thr

This thesis explores crimes related to online dating. After an introduction to online dating crimes (chapter 1), a systematic literature review (chapter 2) looks at current studies considering online dating romance scams. Studies indicate several factors that make victims more vulnerable to these scams, such as their romantic beliefs. Techniques used by scammers are also discussed. Chapter 2 collates what is known so far and highlights gaps in the literature: namely the lack of research. Later chapters focus on crimes occurring on face to face dates with an online partner.

Abstract:

Online relationships are becoming increasingly popular due to the availability, accessibility, and affordability of online social networking and dating sites. Individuals are progressively moving from meeting romantic partners face to face to meeting and engaging with individuals online. There is ample evidence to support the view that individuals do initiate romantic relationships online and often these relationships progress offline. The primary focus of online research had been conducted by communication and linguistic scholars while very little research has been conducted into the psycholo

Abstract:

This collection of nonfiction essays explores one woman’s journey of reentering the world of dating after getting divorced in her forties. Neither an exposé of online dating practices nor a dating how-to manual, these essays strive instead to examine the amusing, poignant, and often tragic ways in which we humans are aligned in our frailty, our brokenness, and ultimately in our redemptive search for love and higher meaning in life. They are also a reminder that there is much that is intrinsically valuable about this search, even when it is not ultimately successful.

The increased use of online dating sites has further encouraged corporations’ attempts to capitalize on these mate-seeking trends.

Similar to society at large where dating still occurs offline, scholars have revealed that racial hierarchies exist within various online platforms.

Abstract:

While more and more people choose to give online dating a try and the representations of online dating in popular culture are increasing, a stigma associated with the act of going online to find love still lingers. The purpose of this dissertation is to look at people who use online dating services in order to explore how this group of people makes meaning from their experience with online dating, particularly how they negotiate the stigma of online dating. Using Goffman's theories on self-presentation and stigma, 200 recent posts to a website called eDateReview.com were inductively analyzed i

Abstract:

This research explored the stereotypical representations, images, and expectations surrounding the relationships of Filipino women and American men. Within the context of the mail-order bride phenomenon, Filipino women have been largely depicted as victims of racialized and gendered representations of mail-order bride agencies. Similarly, romantic relationships between Filipino women and American men are reduced to mere business at which romantic love and desire is absent. However, such depictions fail to acknowledge other factors at play with Filipino women’s intention to seek relationship wi

The methodological points of departure were hermeneutic and the data consisted of ten male and ten femal

Abstract:

Media rapporterar om att kvinnor blir utsatta för trakasserier på plattformar för nätdejting och undersökningar visar att kvinnor i högre utsträckning upplever trakasserier på plattformar för nätdejting, oftare blir sexuellt trakasserade online och i högre utsträckning blir upprörda när de trakasseras online. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka funktioner kvinnor tror kan påverka tryggheten och förebygga trakasserier som stalking och sexuella trakasserier på plattformar för nätdejting. I tidigare studier finns tydliga indikationer på att kvinnor upplever trakasserier på plattformar på nä
