Key points: Our motivations for online dating have changed. Relationship talk on social media may compensate for the absence of a face-to-face support network

73% Informative

An often-asked question is whether online dating really is a good way to find a partner, given we are initially dating a stranger or someone with whom we have had limited contact.

A recent study by Junwen Hu and colleagues tested whether where people meet (face-to-face or online) can influence relationship success.

They found that those in marital relationships who had met online reported lower levels of relationship success compared with those who met their partner face to-face.

For those in non-marital relationships, relationship success was unrelated to whether they met online.

In both marital and non-marital relationships, relationship talk on social media increased reported relationship success for those who had met online.

For those who met face-to-face, there was no real difference between those who engaged in relationship talk and those who didn’t.
