P Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were seen arm-in-arm at a function in New York, sparking rumors that the couple are dating again. The celebrity pair, who were dating back in the late 1990s, seem to have begun their relationship again. Jennifer Lopez, who recently split from her singer/actor husband Marc Antony had no comment to make on this dating rumor. Fans said that it was only a matter of time before she would be back in the dating circuit again. Marc Antony reportedly thought that JLo dressed too sexily, and often attempted to control her dressing, whreras when she was dating P Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, he used to encourage it. The marriage came to an end after allegations that Antony had an affair with an air stewardess.

Online dating has proved to be one of the few industries which have been able to increase their customer base through the recession. The online dating industry has seen an average 5% growth through the recession.
Through the recession period, it has been observed on the online dating platform that both men and women are relaxing their standards on the potential date's job status. According to Jason Kallis who is the manager at Meet Me at Mike's speed dating, there have been overwhelming changes in the attitude of people in the online dating game for the expectations from a partner's job.
Some people like Janelle Gentle of Salt Lake City had never gone out with an unemployed guy through online dating earlier but now as the times change she has gone out with many men who are unemployed. This is a new trend being observed where generosity of one's spirit is supreme compared to the material possessions that a date offers.

Speed dating hardly works out for the long haul. At least that is the case for most people when it comes to speed dating.
A research conducted and published in the Royal Society Biology Letters, there are certain reasons as to why this kind of dating does not work out. It can be seen that human beings and animals can handle variety (one thing that speed dating provides) but after a point, confusion sets and most people do not know what to do.
Alison Linton who was a part of the research said that they went through and analyzed 1,868 female and 1,870 male participants in 84 commercially run speed dating events. These individuals gave their personal information while registering. These people were made to meet the members of the opposite sex for 3 minutes and their decisions were analyzed. It was seen that the number of proposals decreased. Research indicates non-human animals also make poor choices or none at all, when confronted with too much variety. So while speed dating one should have a clear head and his/her preference in mind.
