NEW YORK TIMES - Jan 5 - "Most social media tools don’t provide
a human bonding experience. Meeting
someone new in-person is arguably the genesis of any romance. Traditional dating sites help you find
somebody new. But it isn't spontaneous or romantic. It feels like shopping
online. The location-based mobile meetup app,
however, offers a solution to social media that actually involves
meeting people." - Joel Simkhai, Grindr.
"Online
dating sites are great. But once someone else’s interests have piqued
your interest, do your research. After all, you could be letting this
person into your heart … not to mention your home." - Sandy Heart,
founder CheckOutaDate.com, which conducts background checks on
potential romantic partners.
"Social media is what I'd call a romance
contraceptive. It prevents romance from happening every single day. For
every moment that you're checking your Twitter feed, or your so-called
friends' updates on Facebook, you're missing another opportunity to
connect with somebody in real life." - David Wygant, a dating and
relationship coach.
