Not from the internet . So why I am answering this - because I want to. I did have 2 dates from those phone dating lines though before the internet was really big - and no - that wasn't that long ago. Oh God, maybe it was - like 10 years ago...when I was 18. Pretty much the same premise though except you could not tell what the other person looked like which was ok with me. I am not superficial. My friends & I were bored one night & thought it would be funny to leave messages about ourselves and when we got messages back we thought it would be funny to go on the dates. =O One guy was fun - maybe too fun & the other guy was was such a jackass. It was the horrible snow storm and he got a flat tire and he wanted me(!!) to change it because he was from Florida & he said he would get too cold. And - no, I did not change his tire, but I did do something bad to get back at him. hee hee. I did not see either of them a second time - they were just not the right type of guys for me. (clearly the one from Florida wasn't but the other one wasn't either)
I do think women overall really have to be careful going on blind dates - even if you meet someone online because you still don't know the person and they could be misrepresenting themselves and could be dangerous. So - for women it is really important to meet on neutral safe grounds - in public to be safe. (maybe for men too...hmm)
Anyway I think for guys it is ok to say go ahead - you have nothing to lose & could really meet someone worth while. I think internet dating is getting so popular because meeting someone is kind of hard - escpecially in a bar or club. So - I think a lot of people prefer meeting online because they get to know the other person first & you get to know what their interests are & what they like to do. It is easier for you to know what type of date to plan since you know what she likes. Some guys are too shy when it comes to asking a girl out & vice versa so I think this way makes it easier for them since it isn't face to face. It makes it easier if the person isn't interested & it makes it easier to talk about yourself & also to know the other party is actually listening. I think it is much more likely to develop a possibly serious relationship considering all these factors.
I really do think that some ways of meeting people are getting old - bars, clubs, etc - half the time when you meet someone this way and try to plan a date, alcohol seems to always have to be involved & it gets hard to know anyone like that - or want to. It gives you an advantage - some knowledge beforehand. Normally, you approach someone based on some kind of attraction you have for them - whether it be looks or something they said but this type of dating takes the whole surface aspect away - people can be interested in you because they have the same likes and interests - it isn't just based on the appearance which is good. When you meet someone out somewhere, you take that risk not even knowing if your personalites will compliment each other - and you also take that risk online but not as much. Then again, dating is all about a little risk, putting yourself out there & trying to meet the person for you. I think meeting someone has a lot of advantages but it does have its' risks too. Worth a shot - find out if it is right for you -
just be yourself and remember you have a lot to offer and that the girl that meets you will be a lucky one - good luck!
(by the way, thanks for the other best answer - and no, you are not more organized than I am) no you're not. nope - not a chance. I have a label maker. So there... =)

Yes. I went out with them for a year and a half after meeting them. It was great, and yes I would do it again, if I really liked the guy from what I knew of him online. Gotta watch out for the psychos though!

well i've only met them in person but i havent hooked up with them we had dinner and we got to know eachother and i would definitely do that again. because i had so much fun the last time. the only way i would do that is if you trusted that person enough in order to really meet them in person when just knowing them off the internet. but it is a lot of fun.
