Digital Dating: Are the Internets Killing Your Game?

1. How have social media (Web 2.0) sites taken market share from the early players (i.e., Match.com & eHarmony) & since their business model isn’t solely dating, do they provide a viable alternative and/or advantage?
2. Are privacy concerns lessened with the rise of Web 2.0 sites (both social media & traditional dating sites) & how can people maintain their safety in an online, voyeuristic world?
3. How do you maintain the interest and mystery in a new or potential relationship when your online presence is omnipresent?
4. If you’re dating around, how do you balance your suitors in an online world where everyone is seemingly connected to each other?
5. Alternatively, if you’ve narrowed in on a catch (discovered online or through more ‘traditional’ routes), how do you ensure that your suitor feels #1 when you have over 500 Facebook friends?
6. If you’re dating someone not as ‘connected’ online, how do you break them in easily without overwhelming or scaring them with the tools & connectedness that social media provides?
7. What is the etiquette for showing disinterest; is there a proper way to ignore, block or deny an online suitor who thinks they ‘know’ you from your internet presence?
8. While it’s a personal choice, is it better/easier/healthier to date someone who isn’t in the Web 2.0 circle at all?
9. It’s only natural to gush about a new crush; where are the boundaries of what is and is not appropriate to share with the Internets?
