Session Evaluation
In this session, we will explore how online romantic relationships are developed and maintained. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) has redefined how individuals engage in online romantic relationships through the use of e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, playing games, live voice chat, and social networking websites. The internet has become the fourth highest way that people are meeting potential mates, falling only shortly behind family/friend introductions, school/work affiliations, and other activities of interest. Through the discussion, participants will gain information on how to navigate online environment and develop communication skills that can positively impact the experience of finding potential mates in this type of setting.
