I'll defend Internet or personals dating as that is how I met my wife. However I think the Internet does provide a certain degree of "distance" in one's approach to meeting people that makes it very easy to not and try to really get to know them when you meet them. I found this to be the case with personal ads dating although my wife was a real exception. We almost didn't go out a 2nd time just due to misunderstandings that occur on a date (and the fact we didn't have any sort of meeting history prior to that). Meeting someone face-to-face is preferable. I would recommend he gives it 6 months to a year in dating normally before turning to the Internet. This will allow him to at least have something to gauge it against.
