The past couple weeks I’ve been interviewed for a couple podcast episodes. While I write primarily about marriage and parenting, the topics of the interviews were single life. I was asked throughout the interviews about things I did when I was single, how things would be different if I were single today, and how singles can best prepare for marriage today.

It’s something I don’t think about hardly at all, and when I did I realized how times have changed. One of the biggest changes is due to technology, specifically social media. As we now have a teenage daughter we know we are going to have to be ready to deal with and guide our daughter through dating in the social media age.

I found the video below about new relationships and how people act in them. I thought it would be a good, funny (in a weird kinda way), video to start off the week with. Enjoy and while you are watching think about your relationship at the stage of the couple in the video.

After the video ends please share your thoughts on the biggest challenges to dating in the social media age.

One response to “Dating in the Social Media Age – Jackie Bledsoe”

  1. Great post, Jackie. Video definitely made me think. the main thing I think about with social media is the ability to create real, face-to-face relationships.
