Tech Dating 101: Meeting IRL For the First Time
I have two close friends who met online. Not through a dating service, but through mutual friends, blog posts, and Twitter accounts. If you've ever tried it, you'll probably agree that flirting online can be a lot easier than flirting in person, especially in the beginning stages of a relationship.
Do You Trust Your Mate to Be Alone Around Your Gadgets?
I saw this crazy iPhone app yesterday called iTrust that records your mates attempts to break into your texts and emails while you're away. The app developers also give an interesting fact: 67 percent of British women say they regularly snoop around in their boyfriend's phone. It got me wondering how many people would actually buy this app in fear that their significant others are spying on them?
He's a Droid; I'm an iPhone: GPS Edition
The hype surrounding Motorola's Droid is understandable — for the first time, a phone has really started to give the iPhone a run for its money. Although phones can be polarizing, my guy and I have agreed to disagree on our top phone picks: he's a Droid, while I'm an iPhone.

What Would You Do If You Were Asked Out Via Twitter @Reply?

Oh, love in the digital age. It's confusing, isn't it? My Tech Dating 101 series regularly tackles how technology and new forms of communication are evolving dating and relationship rules, and though I've tackled many a topic, I have yet to nail down the specific meaning of "It's Complicated."
Does Technology Make Dating Easier or Harder?
I've written about a lot of technology and dating topics lately in my Tech Dating 101 series, from my frustrations about emoticon overuse to dealing with his mom over email. With technology and new forms of communication creating new sets of dating rules, technology is making dating harder. .
Are More People Cheating, or Does Technology Make It Easier to Get Caught?
Ayo technology. A friend of mine raised an interesting point during a recent lunch date conversation about Tiger Woods's many indiscretions (you'd have to live under a rock not to be tired of hearing this story by now). It was a follow-up to one friend's statement to the effect of "What is wrong with people lately?
Tech Dating 101: The Dreaded Email Misfire
Busy schedules, full workdays, and just general life all seems to get in the way of quality face time when you're in a relationship, so there are days I'm thankful for all of my gadgets and the technology that goes along with them — especially when it helps me keep in touch with a certain special someone. And, especially when we haven't been able to see each other for days at a time, I've been known to fire off a flirtatious email or two.
