Meet Maggie

Maggie is from Texas

Maggie has a boyfriend…

AWWWW…

Aren’t they precious?

Maggie goes to SJU

But Maggie’s boyfriend, Austin, goes to school in Texas

We all know long distance is hard…

So Maggie visits Austin

And Austin sends flowers

Last semester Maggie studied abroad

But ichat could only bring them so close

So Austin visited her in Rome

Many technologies have improved couples relationships

by helping them stay connected.

“the distance is hard, but we make it work” -Maggie

How technology has changed

the language of

Romance

The

Story

makes dating

far more complicated

than it used to be.

Within one week of meeting a

new person, 79% of people

click “friend”

and after adding a new friend….

60% of people stalk their crush’s profile once a day

(40% check in on their would-be soulmate several times a day).

10% of people

have been dumped over facebook, and the same number would just

change their relationship status to

“single” to cut a lover loose.

What do you think? Has

facebook affected your love

life?

I know its has affected mine!

<insert embarrassing story here>

The txting story

"People can text one another to

make plans or even say 'I love

you' when they may not have

the time or ability to make a

voice call…

It is definitely a discreet and simple way to stay

connected"

Use it to your advantage

Take a snap shot of fresh flowers along with a text message

professing your love to your date or mate.

Use it to your advantage

Upload a photo of your love and make it your phone screen's

background picture.

*This, of course, does not do any good unless your love knows about it.
