Another thought struck me. I think there are two forms of online dating. Well, more really, as I'm thinking.
Okay, theres the cases where people will join up a dating site with the intent of finding dates. I haven't done this. A friend of mine joined a dating site, and she asked me to put up a profile too so I could see the guys profiles who were contacting her. So I put one up, and a picture too. It was a bit of an ego thing for me, I was wondering what kind of contact I would get. I got my fair share, got some emails from a few guys but I had no desire to do any dating at the time so I didn't contact any of the guys.
Then there are people who meet somebody through message boards or gaming type sites. I'd fall in this category, but we didn't form a relationship until we had met a few times. I know of people who will become SO's (ack, I hate that term) before even meeting face to face. So there's that too.
I'm just rambling here. So yeah, I think inernet dating can work. Can it be dangerous? Sure, but not any more so than meeting a guy in a bar or bookstore.
