These days, blind dates aren't blind and dating tips don't just come from your friends. Online dating has risen to epic proportions, speed dating is the norm, and everyone from Michelle Obama to celebrities share their dating secrets.
From bisexual dating shows to dating by scent, this cluster shows how the business of dating and dating devices have changed. Ultimately, it may signal the end of flowers, cards, and candy, and the beginning of Facebook flowers, Twitter love notes, and dried zombie blood (as candy).
