“…In the literature, theorists believed that compassionate love dates back to ancient times, and it is an instinctive behaviour towards survival and protection of animals themselves or their offspring during the evolutionary developmental process (Hatfield & Rapson, ). It is stated that compassionate love is related to parent–child attachment, and the oxytocin hormone and neurobiological mechanisms play a role in this process (Burunat, ; Perry, Blair, & Sullivan, ). Animal experiments related to mother–infant attachment found that infant mice have neurobiological mechanisms that facilitate attachment and increased norepinephrine secretion, whereas the hypothalamic‐pituitary stress axis was inhibited.…”

The use of online dating applications has become a phenomenal social norm that is popular among the community of active social media users. Online dating activities are supported by the advancement of technology which resulted in an abundance of affordable smartphones, hence everybody can easily find and meet locals as well as foreigners, which eventually might establish a more serious relationship. This research aims to explore how an individual who is online dating addresses all the constraints and barriers the users experience and the motivation underlying the user in online dating to establish a relationship with the partner, which is certainly different from offline (classic) relationships. The research method used is a qualitative approach to the type of descriptive phenomenology. The number of subjects in this study was 8 people (3 men and 5 women), who had an online dating relationship with someone from abroad. The results showed that some couples chose to learn to understand the culture and their limitations in establishing the relationship. Besides, some subjects chose to learn the language of their partner and spending more time with their partner who had a regional time difference. The subjects had almost the same motivation in deciding to go for online dating. The fundamental thing that becomes a driver of an online dating relationship comes from the individual's owns’ desire to fulfill the needs of establishing a relationship with others to gain much-needed attention, love, care, and compassion.

“…For example, (Maslow as cited in (Ewen, 2010)) places love in the hierarchy of human needs. Burunat (2019) even argues that love is one of the physiological motivations besides hunger, thirst, and sleep because love has a critical role in the survival of human life by allowing individuals to gain affection, support, closeness, and a sense of happiness.…”

Pursuing a romantic relationship is one of the most important developmental aspects of emerging adults. With the increasing divorce rate in Indonesia, the authors were interested in exploring how emerging adults make sense of romantic relationships after parental divorce. Three participants and two significant others were interviewed in this present study, in which interpretive phenomenological analysis was used as the approach to interpreting the data. This study generated two themes that show how emerging adults make meaning of romantic relationships, namely as a source of fear and a source of support. This contradictory meaning-making relates to the experience the participants had during their parents' divorce process and what they learned from the media or their significant others. These, coupled with human agency and the need for love, encourage the participants to learn from their parents' mistakes, develop certain behavioural patterns, and continue to seek romantic relationships in their lives. This study shows how interaction between parents during a divorce process can shape the meaning-making and behaviour patterns in the child’s romantic relationships. Therefore, it is suggested that divorced parents build an open communication, show positive interactions, and minimize exposing their children to negative interactions during the divorce process.
