Many years ago, I would have said no and online dating is phony and creepy. Many people are against it because of the dangers it has. The constant worry of the person you meet possibly being a criminal or pervert but times have changed. With technology, you can see what they look like, webcam with them to confirm their identity and even check out their facebook profile to see what kind of person they are. Not to sound like a stalker but prevention is better than cure and being safe is better than being sorry.

When you date online, if it doesn't work out, there is a good 99% chance you will never see them again and it will not affect your life.

Of course when you date online, there are the good and bad dates that you end up having and there are so many different characters that you would never expect. For me, it was entertaining and
