Legend, just to actually answer your question (well it doesn't but it's my experience) as you know, I recently went on a date with someone I've met on here, it happened quite quickly after we first started chatting, but I agree with what others have said, it's become very much the norm these days and I think a lot of the risks you can associate with meeting strangers online can also be said of meeting people in pubs, clubs etc. Plus for someone in my situation, it's one of the easiest ways to meet people as well.
