The answer is yes if you are safe when you give info out:
quoute from a website
hope this helps
"any people seem to choose the Internet as a safe dating way. The main reason for that is the fact that the Internet is something like a buffer between the potential partners. Any person wishing to find a date over the Internet must take into account a few safety tips, which will help him or her, avoid any unpleasant situation that might occur. These tips may seem a little bit too excessive, but you can never be too cautious. It�s better to be safe than sorry, as they say!
First, one must never reveal his or her real name until you can trust the other person. If you make such a mistake, he would easily find out your address and you can never know what might fall into their minds! Therefore, you should never use your real name in your profile. Besides, picking a nickname is quite fun too! On the other hand, getting the name of your online partner may seem unfair, but it helps in building up confidence. Run it through Google, Yahoo and any other search engine you like to see what comes up.
A very important question you must ask them is whether they are single or not. There is no use in wasting your time with a person that only wants to have fun with you and then go on with his everyday life.
You can ask for multiple pictures and find out how recent they are. It�s never fun showing up for a date and finding out that your date is much older or fatter than he or she pretended to be. Always have phone conversations before you meet. Sometimes the way someone speaks is all you need to hear to know whether a date would be something to look forward to! It is also very important not to tell them where you work.
You can be evasive and still not reveal the real location or the company that you are working for!
The first date must never start at your place. Meet your date in a public place and always get your cell phone with you! Should something go wrong, you can call a friend to have him pick you up!
The most important thing when dating is still trusting your instincts. If they tell you to stop, you must say goodbye to that person and move on to the next potential date.

I've had success with it...BUT it requires a lot of honesty and a lot of getting to really know someone before you meet. If you are careful and you know what you are looking for I think it's just like anything else. And, since we're on the topic...how come no one ever asks if dating at clubs and bars is safe?? Now, THAT kind of dating I think is dangerous.

Yes it is safe if you are very careful and dont just give out your personal info like address and phone number and things like that to everyone you meet and chat with online... Make sure you get to know the person really well and chat for at least 6 months to a year before actually meeting them and make sure they are trustworthy and safe and are who they say they are... You may even want to do a background check if need be. Be careful and Be safe! eharmony.com and match.com are safe sites to meet through... It is just as unsafe to date and meet a stranger in real life and in person... As with anything just be careful and proceed with caution.

Online dating is very popular, so it must work for a lot of people. Here is a place that reviews lots of dating websites. Many of the online dating services listed have consumer reviews, so you can read what others think of it. Pretty cool site.

Not the best way to date, but yes it can be done. just have to becareful and know all the possibilities that this person can be a fake, or a pedo. Yet, not everyone online is like that. Just get to know the person first before you date and meet them in person.

Anymore I dont think it is people will say anything you want to hear just to lure you in then whats they get you interested. I am not saying all services are unsafe but anymore all you hear are bad things about online dating.

E-Harmony.com and Match.com are safe site's,at least they do major background check's. And sometimes even guarantee their service. Good Luck, Sherri

It's no worse than going to a bar and picking up a stranger. Of course you would have to be careful.
