Please provide the best answer for the statement
1. Technology dictates the norms of dating (e.g., Internet dating has replaced traditional
face-to-face meetings).
2. The Internet allows for exploration without emotional investment or commitment.
3. Digitized romance provides physical safety by offering a wide buffer zone.
4. Online daters engage in pseudo-intimacy by creating online profiles of themselves
and responding to the self-created profiles of potential suitors.
5. Some observers suggest that if digital communications do eventually become face-to-
face interactions, the relationships are superficial and provide opportunities to hook
up. Evidence on hookup culture is scarce, but polls suggest that hooking up among college students is less common than media reports suggest.
