On the heels of Tinder’s plans to go more casual, Facebook is today expanding access to its own dating service, Facebook Dating. First launched two months ago in Colombia for testing purposes, the social network is today rolling out Facebook Dating to Canada and Thailand. The company is also adding a few new features to […]

The internet has changed how kids learn about sex, but sex ed in the classroom still sucks. In Sex Ed 2.0, Mashable explores the state of sex ed and imagines a future where digital innovations are used to teach consent, sex positivity, respect, and responsibility.
Have you ever had a weird question about sex? We want to know about it. Fill out this Google Form and your response may be included (anonymously) in a future story.
Sure, while Australia banned guns, has one of the highest minimum wages in the world, offers free healthcare — it, like America, and many other countries, still lags on sex ed. Read more…

It’s Summer Lovin’ Week here at Mashable, which means things are getting steamy. In honor of the release of Crazy Rich Asians, we’re celebrating onscreen love and romance, looking at everything from our favorite fictional couples to how Hollywood’s love stories are evolving. Think of it as our love letter to, well, love.
Entertainment fans love love, but this Romance Week we wanted to take a moment to appreciate the TV couples that didn’t make it. Where would any of our romantic journeys be without a little (okay, a lot) of failure?

Online dating isn’t easy, and now we have the data to prove it.
A new study, published in the journal Science Advances Wednesday — which analyzed data from a pool of tens of thousands of online dating profiles in New York, Boston, Seattle, and Chicago — found that people consistently message potential mates who are out of their league.
What a shock.
Study authors Elizabeth Bruch and Mark Newman pulled information from profiles and plugged it into an algorithm which took into account age, education, gender, and race/ethnicity in relation to the number of messages received among heterosexual individuals. Read more…

Actions speak louder than words — particularly when those actions show just how much you care about a person.
People with disabilities have been sharing their partners’ actions that show them just how much they’re loved — actions that are “different from the way abled people show love.”
Get the tissues at the ready, you’re in for some very moving Twitter #content.
The conversation was started by Imani Barbarin, a disabilities activist and creator of the #DisTheOscars hashtag, which calls attention to the lack of disability representation in the Academy Awards. Read more…

Is there a right way to announce a breakup?
On YouTube, there is.
Like how celebrity couples release joint statements to the tabloid press when they break up, it’s become somewhat of a requirement for popular YouTubers to announce the demise of their relationships in joint videos posted to their channels.
The latest participants in the breakup video trend were the YouTube couple: Liza Koshy and David Dobrik.
Liza, 22, and David, 21, built a content empire together over the last few years. Between their two main channels and two side channels, Liza and David collectively had more than 32 million subscribers — to put that into perspective, their total subscribers outnumber the population of Haiti, Greece, and Portugal. Combined. Read more…

The sexiest ships in ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’

Star Wars has some great ships, but it also has some great ships, and Solo is no exception. You know the ships I mean – ships that make you want to take straight to space, don a cape, and punch it right into hyperdrive.
Friendships. Relationships. Situationships. Star Wars has is it all, from the day Luke kissed his sister to the time Anakin went blind with love, or something. Let’s dive into the ships of Solo and wonder how anyone had time to make the Kessel Run when there was so much flirting to get on with.

Turns out Chrissy Teigen married the wrong John

I regret to inform John Legend that his wife, Chrissy Teigen, chose the wrong man.
On Wednesday, the model and mother of two took a Buzzfeed quiz titled, “Plan A Brunch And We’ll Reveal Which Famous John Was Destined To Be Your Bae.”
In case you didn’t know, online compatibility quizzes are VERY official. So when Teigen was matched with John Krasinski, star of The Office and A Quiet Place, instead of her musician husband John Legend, she turned to her 10.6 million Twitter followers for support.
