IMO online dating holds pretty much the same drawbacks as meeting people in any other forum... face it, one could lie online as easily as one could lie in person (well except for Larry and his cloroform...) public meetings are a must when it's an online date - that's common sense - as is a first date in a puiblic place with someone you met at your cousin's girl friends picnic. The rule is always to be safe...
Ridgeplate has the best idea - find something that interests YOU, and then go do it - have some fun and expand yourself... that way you not sitting in a bar with your arse on a stool waiting for Mr. (or Ms.) Right.
As to finding someone online who is real?? I met my fiance online through a Christian Dating site - the wedding is July 29th - he's my senior by 11 years and it's been the most awesome time of my life... so it can work.
Be selective on which sites you choose - there has been lots of talk concerning dating sites using sham daters to keep you renewing...
