[Air-L] Request for Information Relevant to Online Dating within Student Populations

Fri Sep 13 01:11:12 PDT 2013

Dear Skaidra,

My MSc research and now my PhD are in the area of online dating - and particularly language. I've included some useful references below. 
As well as Nicole Ellison as already mentioned in a response - Andrew Fiore,  Monica Whitty, and Toma & Hancock have done a lot of work in the area. 

I hope that helps. 
Regards,
Nicola
