Teenagers as a whole use newer electronic communication methods like instant messaging, email,

and text messaging, as well as communication-oriented internet sites like blogs, social networking, and

sites for sharing photos and videos. Kaveri Subrahmanian and Patricia Greenfield look at adolescents'

relationship with friends, romantic partners, strangers , and technology over the past ten years

(Subrahmanian & Greenfield,2008).

Online romance scams are a contemporary form of fraud that have become more prevalent in

Western societies along with the development of social media and dating apps. Through a fictitious

Internet profile, the scammer develops a romantic relationship with the victim for 6-8 months, creating

a strong emotional bond in order to extort financial resources in a manipulative dynamic (Coluccia et

Al.,2020)

As technology has become an ever-present facet in the lives of young people, they have

become reliant on it to form and maintain relationships. The present study explored the

perceptions of cyberstalking offenders on their own romantic relationships of their offending

behaviors utilizing General Theory of Crime and Social Learning Theory. Results indicated that

low self-control is a significant predictor of perceiving a negative impact by a victim, such as

breaking up the relationship or taking revenge on the offender, as offenders with low self-

control do not believe their behaviors would have a negative impact ( Marcum, George &

Nicholson (2018).

Digital apps and social media platforms became crucial components in how people interact

with one another and fulfill needs, including the search for new friends and romantic partners.

Nowadays, online dating apps are one of the options that young people choose to forge
relationships with. However, in Indonesia, the usage of online dating apps brings about

negative social consequences (Fandia, 2020).

Drawing on expectancy violation theory, we hypothesized that seeing just a few photos of

the potential partner on their dating app profile can lead to these negative effects. However,

switching from online to face-to-face dating can induce expectancy violation and diminish

attraction. Users who cannot relinquish their online dating status can experience these negative

effects (Sciara et al., 2022).

Although some studies suggest that romantic relationships can occasionally improve

academic performance at Secondary School Certificate level (Ahamed et al., 2017), the majority

of prior research suggests that this is not the case (Honghao et al., 2021b)

With so many online dating sites, there would be pros and cons in choosing and

participating in the site, but this present study explores an individual's opinion about online

dating among university students using a qualitative research approach. Online dating offers

significant advantages for single people, such as it provides an efficient and less expansive

choice of approach in choosing a date (Voo et al., 2023).

user-to-user Recommender Systems that address the issue of information overload by

suggesting relevant items to users that the users may prefer. However, many online social

platforms, such as online dating and online recruitment, recommend users to each other where

both users have preferences that should be taken into account for generating successful

recommendations (Kumari et al., 2022).

This study compares chat room users' reported romantic relationships between cyberspace

and face-to-face relationships in common settings (referred to as "realspace"). As predicted,

involvement, particularly commitment and seriousness, tended to be lower in cyberspace than

in realspace romantic relationships, and misrepresentation, particularly of age and physical

attributes, tended to be higher in cyberspace than in realspace relationships (Cornwell &

Lundgren, 2001).

Although the study of intimacy in online social interactions is still in its early stages, it is well

known that participation in intimate social interactions and relationships has a significant

impact on well-being. However, recent advances in Internet and mobile communication

technologies have led to a major shift in the mode of human social interactions, raising the

question of how these technologies are impacting the experience of interpersonal intimacy and

its relationship with well-being (Lomanowska & Guitton, 2016).

Online dating, once a niche industry, has grown into a significant social-digital technology

and a key venue for couple formation today. While some social research has focused on

analyzing the effects of online dating on individuals and society as a whole, other work has
sought to use the 'big data' generated by the practice of online dating to shed new light on

various facets of mate selection and search (Skopek, 2023).

The aim of this article is to investigate trends over time in the use of the Internet as a

meeting place and to explore whether Internet dating can affect the rules of assortative mating

and homogamy (Arosio, 2023).

Pair matching prediction can increase the effectiveness with which RRSs match potential

partners, while Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are potent models for learning representations

of attributed graphs and information flow between nodes. Reciprocal recommender systems

(RRSs) (e.g., online dating services and job-recruitment sites) must take into account the

interests of both two users (Zhang et al., 2023).

The emotional damage to victims of online dating scams may be even more severe because

the whole scam process involves mental attachment, sexual abuse, and relationship

breakdown. Many victims have reported varying degrees of financial loss and psychological

damage after coming across lottery scams and advance payment scams in an era of widespread

mass marketing scams on the Internet (Wang, 2022b).

This paper focuses on discussing women's self-presentation (also called impression

management) methods and their strategies for evaluating themselves as presented both offline

and online within the context of habitus. To this end, field data were collected with the
netnographic method on the practices of women seeking a partner for romantic and/or sexual

purposes on online dating platforms (apps or websites) (Erdogan, 2022).

One of the phenomena is the shifted pattern of a group of people looking for a life partner

virtually through dating applications. This emerging trend of online dating applications in the

vast digital world has been at odds with the values of the Eastern civilization (Sukardani et al.,

2022).

Contrary to conventional recommendation problems, reciprocal recommendation aims to

simultaneously best match users' mutual interests to make the recommendations. However,

the most existing RRS algorithms rarely model users' interest and attractiveness simultaneously

under the high-dimensional feature space. Additionally, the sparsity of the reciprocal

recommendation problem makes it difficult to solve (Luo et al., 2022).

We used literature on risk and health behaviors to generate four frames for coping with risk

associated with COVID-19 while dating: 1) Unconcerned about Risk, 2) Preliminary Risk

Assessment, 3) Active Risk Negotiation, and 4) Risk Aversion. Furthermore, we argue that risk

perception causes daters to use implicit and explicit communication about health behaviors to

determine whether they are compatible (Williams et al., 2021).

Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2020 > Nyam Tackling Online Dating Scams and Fraud Ignatius

Hua Nyam Abstract This report is intended to critically analyze the phenomenon of online

dating scams and fraud in the United Kingdom, its causes, consequences, and mitigation

measures using international initiatives. The findings of this report revealed that the leading
causes of romance scams are greed, lack of cybersecurity knowledge, poverty, poor personality

traits, and sensationalism (Nyam, 2020).

This paper conceptualizes and draws conclusions from the existing literature stating the

factors responsible for an increase in online dating. Due to home restrictions and social

distancing, people turned to online dating apps mainly to maintain the social connection and

interaction, get introduced to potential suitors, and also worked as a stress reliever (Ann et al.,

2020).

Previous research has avoided problematic use of online dating in favor of users' personality

correlates and scams through online dating services, despite the constant growth in the use of

online dating sites and mobile dating applications. A systematic review was conducted using

PsycINFO and Web of Science databases to compile prior findings that address potential

problematic use of online dating (Bonilla-Zorita et al., 2021).

Two well-known social phenomena illustrate how social connections and interactions have

dramatically changed as a result of technological advancement: Sexting has surfaced as a

popular way of getting attention or flirting among young populations over the past decade, and

online dating has also emerged as a viable option for people looking for romantic relationships

(Qu et al., 2021).
