    From Reuters

    LONDON (Reuters) – U R dumped — one in seven say they have suffered the same fate as Britney Spears’ ex-husband and been told it’s all over via text message or email, a survey said Friday.

    text message on cell phoneWhile hiding behind technology might appear a cowardly way of splitting up, it contrasts with the four percent who simply drop all communication with their lovers without notice.

    “Most of us send emails and texts everyday, so it comes as no surprise they are now being used to ditch someone — however distasteful this is,” said Rob Barnes from moneysupermarket.com, which carried out the survey.

  • online specific dating 20.01.2008 Comments Off on Study – one third of dates made online lead to sex on first date

    Well this is kind of surprising, but after reading more into it, it makes sense. The study that was done said a majority of the women surveyed communicated through several emails about safety, meeting, stds and other issues before meeting on the first date. This survey shows proof that online dating works. You can establish a relationship online that translates into offline action. Emails and instant messaging certainly can save time, and in this day and age with so much going on, I certainly enjoy saving time. I think what is left our of this study is the fact that there is much weeding through people in the online dating environment, making it easier to choose to have intimate relations with one that you meet, as opposed to traditional method of meeting offline to get to know each other first.

    I found a post on some college board talking about how more and more people are using social networks and computer technology to cheat on their lovers.

    I found an article titles “Sex and the Single Mom: What a Mom Wants” at Web MD courtesy of Redbook.

    I think this is one of the things applies to most women, single mom or not, although after reading her story I can see how it would apply to a woman who has kids and has to spend so much time making the plans. A few of my favorite quotes from the story:

    A friend of mine once told me that to a single working mom, the sexiest words in the English language are “I’ll take care of it.”

    This book is certainly selling well. It shows as Amazon ranked t#39 today, so it is definitely selling very well. From reading the description I have to bet that it is selling very well because the Game Book by Neil was very informative and very popular with guys that used the techniques within to get the confidence (or cockiness) to actually land some dates. From reading the description at Amazon I wonder if this book has any of what the first book did, or if it’s just an easy way for the author to make sales using his reputation from the popular first book.rules of the game book

    I’ve seen these suggestions made for making relationships healthier and happier before, but it’s nice to see them made again, and sometimes we need to remind ourselves that it is okay, and healthier to do some of these things.

It’s nice to see other experts making these suggestions, letting us know that is alright.
