I'm not surprised at the scare stories about relationships gone bad online. They reflect our deepest fears about trust and its betrayal in our connections with others. But online relationships, particularly those in which people are trying to make a "love" connection, are increasingly one of the major ways in which people use the Internet. After all, the Internet is all about connectivity and the Internet opens an enormous frontier for people to reach out and connect with others in meaningful ways. I've been studying the dynamics of falling in love online for the last 12 years or so and have been impressed with the way the Internet enlarges the pool of potential positive matches. As soon as most members of the class have created their blog, I will post two case studies, one an interview with a Lehigh student from some 12 years ago which is a rich account of this woman's developing relationship with a young man. The other case study comes from an online site which gives accounts of love relationships formed online. Stay tuned.
