I have no problems with meeting people from an online service, or from online in general. Some people these days don't get the chance to get out to places where you can meet new people. Friends aren't so willing to do "match making" any more. And the worst thing you can do is date someone from work.
I have met quite a few people from lavalife.com. Some have become good friends. Others were jerks. But isn't this the same thing you'd run into anywhere? Online services are the "bars" and "hangouts" of the times. I bet people said the same thing when singles bars started popping up.
If you do choose to use one of these services, just be careful. Always meet for the first time in a public place, make sure at least one person knows your entire agenda (and contacts you at least once during the evening to make sure you're ok), and always have an excuse ready to be able to end the night early incase things aren't working out.
