Online Dating Practices 300 Page Study

David over at the Online Dating Insider found a study of online dating called "Scripts for Online Dating: A Model and Theory of Online Romantic Relationship Initiation". This 298 page paper was authored by Bridget L. Long. She is a student at Bowling Green State University and the paper was one of her requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I have only skimmed the paper at the moment but the study examined the online dating processes from both the standpoints of the services themselves, and members. Bridget used the dating sites Match.com, eHarmony and Plenty of Fish in her research.
