I havent tried any online dating services (I have a boyfriend) but I dont see anything wrong with them and I always hear people talking down on them and the people participating in them. Yeah the person could turn out to be a serial killer but so could the woman/man you met at the grocery store, mall, etc....
your opinions?

well I think its pretty smart. Especially EHarmony I always see commercials for it and think about how clever it is to basically ''order'' someone. I mean you dont know much about people when you meet them in person for the first time but if you met someone from a service, then in person you would already know alot....and it would probably make things more comfortable for the two of you.

I don't have a problem finding love over the internet. After all, I met my husband on the net.
What I have a problem with is people who actively go looking on the internet. It's like putting your name in the personals in the newspaper. A sign of desperation. And last I looked desperation isn't a good thing.
The internet is also dangerous because people don't think when they meet someone on the net. They rush into it talking about how they met only a month ago and have talked for only a week over the phone and want to get married to this person. For some reason, if it's over the net, they don't want to wait until they actually get to know someone.
My husband and I have known each other for almost 9 years. We knew each other for over three years as friends over the net. Then we spent 5 and a half years "dating" going back and forth between our countries and talking on the phone for hours and hours every night for YEARS.
We've been married since June.
Most people aren't willing to take the time it takes. It's not like meeting someone face to face. It's alot more dangerous and you don't have the ability to look at each other so you can rely on your own personal perception.
People also aren't willing to wait until they're over that "honeymoon" phase of the relationship and work at the communication part. It's why most internet relationships fail. They can't handle the distance and work on the communication.
Even my family, the people who were so sceptical in the beginning and advising me against getting involved with my husband. Even they have admitted that this is probably the healthiest relationship they've ever seen due to the level of communication he and I have. We can even finish each others sentences and yet we will find each other absolutely fascinating. Even after all this time.
If people would learn to be patient and take it slowly, I wouldn't say anything. But most people seem convinced they want to marry this person after speak to them for only a month or so over the internet. It's ridiculous.

That mindset is age old. The ones who do say things like that are in a minority, not progessive and moving with technology. I feel that the problem is more so with the people who meet their partners online and lie about where they met them because they are ashamed to state it. It almost seems like they keep the fuel of the ignorant fire going.

the fact is, not everyone lives in an area teeming with sinlge people of one's own age group, and/or interests and commonalities. If one excludes bars and churches, that limits the search field even further.
It's not a bad way to make an initial connection, but it's no substitute for face-to-face.

I think that this idea is linked to desperation. It is, by far, easier for someone to lie online than it is face to face.

If it works go for it - there are risks in "finding love" where ever you go. As long as you are aware of risks - then I am all for it...

It makes them seem lonely, thirsty, and desperate.
