Very true, but the point I was trying to make is that it's a very different experience with online dating. You can spend quite a while conversing via email or phone before you actually meet, and it's
so easy to build up unrealistic expectations while ignoring things that you'll swear later were obvious red flags.
If you try not to waste your time, and make sure someone is actually worth meeting, you are going to be really excited the first time you do it. She will seem perfect. She probably won't be when you meet her though.

If that works for you then go for it! Some people like myself aren't always comfortable doing that in the first place, and in the second place not everyone is in a position to meet new people easily. Maybe because of their work schedule, or they don't like clubs/bars etc. For some of us, online service are the way to go.
