Data Research
http://2005-w08.wikispaces.com/marc0tt%27s activity log#toc7 I've decided to narrow down my data to the one that involved any kind of courship activity in game. I've found solid data from Nick Yee and a collection of anecdotes from the website about people hooking up.

http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/001528.php - percentages of players who've dated, confessed their love, and admired someone in game - **very** interesting stories in the comments of people actually hooking up in real life http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/000512.php - not data but players' stories about how a relationship in game developed to a relationship in real life
 * Love is in the air**
 * Romances that began in a far-away land**
 * might make an interesting addition to infograph**
