Check out an article I wrote about technology and dating on Mike Alvear’s blog Urge & Merge

Technology isn’t just helping us hook up, it’s helping us hang up.

“I love you” are important words to say or hear. But, what if you were “told” this the very first time in your newly developing relationship via a text message, or e-mail? Then, a few months later you’re told, also by the same modern-day digital technology, “I’m completely finished with you.”

Are these examples of emotional disconnect or just another luxury of today’s digital technology – where you don’t have to lose any shut eye or have a good enough sense of character to mull over the reactions or consequences of your technology-based behavior?

  • There are sites that you can hook up with someone, especially on Facebook. But BreakupBitch com is that on the negative side. If you don’t know how to break up with your girlfriend or boyfriend this site can do it for you. But breaking up on the net is not good. You can’t talk to each other the reasons on why you have to do that. Personal break up is better than text messages or online chatting.

About Jennifer Kelton

I did not wake up one morning and say “hey I think I’d like a man use my sweater like a towel, write a candid dating book, become a dating expert, the CEO and founder of a social dating site and have three blogs.”

All of this has happened in a slow burn and here I am. The good, the bad, the mistakes, way too many tears shed to count, lots of wine and oh my goodness a huge learning curve that leaves me much of the time saying, “I’m sorry but this is all new to me.”

    By Jennifer Kelton
    It was 2:44 A.M. when, for the third night in a row, I woke up with beyond extreme pain (the kind I would not wish on my worst enemy) from a root canal that I had just had days before. As I shuffled, with my bed head hair, blurry eyes and freshly [...]
