I spend a lof of time online, at forums and playing MMORPGs and such. I've met a bunch of girls, most of who I only talked to for a few weeks then that was it. There is one girl, though, who i've kept in contact with for over 2 years and are now very close friends. We haven't met in person yet, but plan on it hopefully soon. Neither of us are really into the online/long distance dating thing, but I believe that if we lived near eachother we'd definitly go out.
I've never tried an online dating service, so I can't really give my opinion on how well they work. However, I personally don't think browsing profiles as if browsing for a used car is the right way to find a girlfriend, even if it is just going to be an online thing. I think it's better to at least go somewhere with a more casual chatting enviornment, so you don't have to go out of your way to contact people individually. The girl I mentioned, I met while playing an online game - The Sims Online. It was a great icebreaker, and lead to a great relationship like you hear the dating sites advertise.
For better luck, maybe try finding a dating service that has live chatrooms, or just find a nice forum like this, or public chat room to hang out in for a while and see who comes in.
