Abstract/Summary
In the Philippines, the interdependent culture plays a role in how Filipinos perceive online dating and how it motivates them to use the medium. The researchers interviewed Filipino young adults, age 20-35 years old currently living in Metro Manila Philippines who tried online dating at least once. The researchers analyze the data through the requirements and guidelines of thematic analysis, a qualitative analysis that focuses on themes that come from analyzing, identifying and reporting patterns. The researchers discovered that online dating can help individuals meet potential romantic partners online, then transition into traditional dating. However, the researchers would like to note that not all online relationships can lead to successful long term relationships. It is found also that Filipino young adults are motivated to try online dating because of the influence of the experience of other individuals and they find online dating as an avenue not only in finding romantic relationships, but a convenient way to learn about other people and broaden their connections.
