You know, I'm not sure why dating online would sound intriguing if you're seriously looking. I mean, think about it. It's awkward enough going up to a girl in your class/job/etc. and trying to talk to her. Imagine the awkwardness of meeting somebody on a dating website. True that you both know each other's looking for a date, but still...
For instance, I had a problem with my financial aid for school last year, and I called my fin aid department for help. The girl on the other line helped me, and I got really aggrivated but kept my cool because I'm not one to lose his temper. Anyway, the girl found me on myspace, told me she thought I was really nice even though I went through hell to get my scholarship money, and so then we started "online" talking, sending message after message over myspace and the like. It was kinda weird, but I didn't really think too much about it. Well, one day she said she wanted to hang out, study, and such... I must say, meeting her was the most awkward moment in my entire life. And I think she felt the same way.
The ending is what I made it, a friendship that is left on myspace and no closer. I like it that way...
So, online dating... not for everybody.
