If I didn't already have an S.O., I wouldn't hesitate to meet someone online.
I ended up with someone for 2.5 years who I met online, although things didn't turn out in the long run.
If I was still in college, I wouldn't bother. But take me out of the relationship I'm currently in, and it would be very hard for me to meet new people. I work from 6:30-7:00 am and get back at 6 or 7 pm. I don't drink anymore, and I'm not into the club scene, so you can rule those two out right there. While I work out, my gym is exclusive to my apartment complex. I'm not a coffee drinker so I won't be picking up any hipsters at the local Starbucks either. Complicate matters by the fact that my job moves me every 6 to 18 months.
What I'm suggesting is that there are a lot of nice people out there capable of being in a relationship, but their jobs/living situation don't enable them to easily go out and meet new people. I'm the type of person who enjoys going out and doing things, but am not one to up and do it by myself unless I have already planned for someone else to go with me. This wouldn't be easy to do for me without meeting people through friends/parties/classes, etc as I did in college.
Worst case scenario, you meet up with someone, find out they're a complete loser, and you've got a hilarious story to tell as the end result of it. Best case scenario, you pull a Crompsin and score a hottie.
