I think on-line is just another avenue people can take to try to find that person that makes them happy. Or to find friends they enjoy talking to. It is difficult to meet people espcially when everyone is wrapped up in their own life. But on-line is nice because you have the comfort of your home, you can come and go as you please in the midst of a conversation, and do other things while spending time with friends.
As for a romantic relationship, there are 2 things I see with this that may be a problem. One is distance as you mentioned. What if you met the perfect person, but they lived across the country and neither one of you could move? The other is in person likability. While on-line people act differently than in real life. It may not be a lot, but there is a bit of a difference. What if you met on-line and adored each other, but couldn't stand a person's habits or mannerisms in person? You would have invested a lot of time in a relationship and then finally meet and not have that spark or whatnot.
I'm not saying it's good or bad, it's definitely another option, but I think distance is the biggest deterrent of this type of romantic hook-up. Unless you are on a site that is regionally based like find single people in your area. Then it could be a good thing. But a gamble like any other way of meeting people.
