I received an email from a student looking for online dating research. Email me and I’ll pass along any info you can provide.
I am interested in doing reasearch on online dating in the London area, specifically focusing on the role of the internet as a new media in this cultural/communication “phenomenon”. Another interesting idea that I am looking into is how much people are looking towards their own culture when dating online as London is very international as I’m sure you know! I am trying to review current and past research on this topic and was wondering if you could point me towards any helpful websites with research and/or case studies in this area? I need to determine what has already been done in order to develop a unique question that I can research and write about.
