Dear Giuliana I am researching older adults and their online romantic relationships. I published a small preliminary study last year, which might give you some background and a few statistics: Malta, S (2007) Love Actually! Older Adults and their Romantic Internet Relationships Australian Journal of Emerging Technologies and Society, 5(2), 84-102 Also, two other recent papers on online dating are by Henry-Waring and Barraket: Henry-Waring & Barraket (2008a) Dating & Intimacy in the 21st Century: The Use of Online Dating Sites in Australia International Journal of Emerging Technologies and Society, 6(1): 14 - 33 Barraket & Henry-Waring (2008b) Getting it (On)line: Sociological Perspectives on e-Dating Journal of Sociology, 44(2), 149-166 Hope this helps! Cheers, Sue Malta PhD Research Student Sociology Faculty of Life & Social Sciences Swinburne University ...............................................
