I love social media. I'm all over it - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogger, etc... I love how it's allowed me to keep in touch with friends all over the world, reconnect me with friends from decades ago, and build new ones in our ever so busy lives. Even with Twitter, I cannot thank this tool for how many awesome women I've been able to connect with because of it. Social media is fun when it comes to dating - you can instantaneously see how your love is doing throughout his day, see the comments from those in his life, virtually flirt back and forth, ... social media provides tools for building authentic relationships --> but in the world of dating, it is truly important to remember to consistently use the more traditional means in growing faith, trust and strength in your love: holding hands, talking on the phone, going on walks, cuddling, kissing, and eye contact (some of my absolute favorites).
As much as I love social media, there are some new challenges and changes it has produced in the world of dating and love. Some things I've learned and will share:
1. Online personalities do not necessarily present the real person as they are in real life. The person who interact with and see online is not necessarily the same person in person. Why? The person you are building in your mind from watching the conversations and persona's online creates a person that is a little different then who that person is in real life. Without the other communication cues like facial expressions, body language and tone, what else do you have to work with? None - you interpret with the lens and bias that you hope to find in this person.
