Are you ready for the dating experience of a lifetime??? ABC News is casting for the next season of “HOOKING UP,” last summer’s hit documentary series about online romance, dating, sex and relationships set in and around New York City. We are looking for outgoing and articulate women and men, straight or gay, ages 20-40, living in or near (and primarily dating in) Manhattan, who are currently internet dating… or extremely eager to try it. Let our cameras follow your online dating adventures!!! For an application or more information, please call 212.810.7834 or email hookingupseason2@gmail.com as soon as possible, like now! (We’ve got seriously tight deadlines… and you’ve got some serious dating to do.)

Speaking of the "Hooking Up" series, what did people here think of it? Was it a realistic portrayal of online dating? Was the casting too narrow? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

On another note, there's a new "online dating" series premiering this week titled "Log In For Love" and in reading the previews, it sounds suspiciously like a repackaged version of the exact same "Hooking Up" series. Of course, we'll know once it airs.
