Facebook Dating: Can the social network handle your love life?

How does Facebook Dating work?

Your Facebook Dating profile remains separate from the one on the main Facebook app. However, it will still allow you to tap your network of friends to identify “secret crushes.” Facebook Dating is a mobile-only service that’s free to use and free of ads. However, it can still help Facebook make money if it keeps people glued to its other services longer. Facebook insists it won’t use information gleaned from your dating profiles for advertising and says there won’t be ads on Facebook Dating.
