This poster examines the impact of online dating on college students' relationships. Data from my surveys (n1 = 261; n2 = 247) reveal that almost half of the respondents used online dating to find potential partners, with a majority meeting through dating apps/sites. Positive and negative experiences were both reported, with safety concerns, misrepresentation, and casual hookups identified as major concerns. Findings underscore the need for understanding the implications of technology on college students' romantic relationships.
