We sat down with Dr. Mike Dow of VH1’s Couples Therapy to talk about the dos and don’ts of online dating. In our Google Hangout, Love in the Digital Age, the dating doctor answered questions from a panel of guests determined to get answers to the most common dating challenges. In this clip, guest Nikki Boyer wanted to know: where is the best place to take your online dating profile picture? And can you ever be too risqué? Dr. Mike had some concrete tips.
