Do you remember those old Choose Your Own Adventure Books? You know, the ones that would let you make a choice at the end of each chapter about what was going to happen next in the story? Well, a dating research time has taken that idea and applied it to studying the choices that people make in their relationships and the way that outcomes differ because of those choices.



The study simulated a romantic relationship online, leading each participant through a series of choices. Everyone in the study was dating the same fictional online person but they selected different options throughout the storytelling session and ended up in completely different types of relationships. Learn more about it from this article.



The lesson to take away from this study is that you get to make choices that affect the outcome of your relationships. You should remember this when selecting information for your dating profile, choosing which sites to use for Internet dating, making decisions about who to date and otherwise selecting from your relationship options. You get to have a say in your destiny if you're willing to take the responsibility to do so.
