I'm internet dating at the moment, not met the man of my dreams yet but have made lots of lovely friends and been on some lovely dates.
One guy even helped me move all my stuff from my old place to my new flat.
There's some great people out there just be careful, a lot just seem to after one thing but they're usually quite easy to suss. I tend to chat to them on MSN for a while before meeting them but you can go through quite a bit of rejection for reasons you may never know.
I'd had friends that have found lovely partners on dating sites.
Try Match, it's the best one I've found so far.
Good luck x
