If you are shy around girls in real life, then doing it on the internet is not going to help, because one day you'll have to meet that person.
That said, I can't say it doesn't work at all, because I have been married for almost 7 years to someone I met online. I think the key is the same as in real life. You really are most likely to find someone when you are not really looking. I was abroad and was in a chat room just so I could learn how to communicate with my family back home without having to spend an arm and a leg on phone calls. My current wife was a student back in the States trying to find out about Ecuador for a trip she was contemplating taking. We both went to a "Traveler's Room" and were the only two people there. We chatted, found out we had some things in common, and exchanged emails. At the time, she didn't even know I was a guy, and I had no intentions aside of having an online pen pal. Because of that, we were open and honest with one another, and it turned out we had similar interests and values. One thing lead to another...
That said, it is sooooooo much easier finding a relationship in real life. She lived in Florida. I was from Michigan. Had I not been in a position in my life to just pack up and move to Florida, it never would have worked. The times before I did that were painful and sad. The truth is that we were one in a million. What I HIGHLY recommend is that you overcome your shyness and start asking some of these girls out. Accept that you will be rejected occasionally. Everyone is! You'll be surprised how often you are not. If you must, get some counseling! Shyness can be overcome, and it is worth it!
Good luck!

I met my boyfriend online and we are perfect for each other. We have extremely similar qualities and share the same values. We both thought that we would never have found anyone online but here we both are together and happy. I had had a hard time trying to find a guy because I work constantly and am kind of shy, but online dating opened up a whole new world for me. And now I feel like I have found the love of my life. However, do be careful! Not everyone is honest out there, and many people put things in the profiles and such that just aren't true. Its a great way to meet others but you do have to realize there are risks involved. Best of luck!

yes, online dating works..only depends on if the person you meet is serious and wants the same thing as you...others are out there just to have online fun but it's worth a try coz u never know u might meet someone who interests u and vise versa, i know guys who've met online and are still together...it works...try the serious dating sites and then don't online date for a long time, u must meet at some point after chatting for sometime, u know. That's my advice..

i don't know, but i think it's like "practicing" for real life.
it's kind of like a blind date-pen pal situation. a way to meet new people.
i've met a man i was chatting with. even went to get togethers with groups of people from online chat group. it was interesting and fun. met a lot of nice people.
but one thing i noticed is that a lot of people were "online addicts". even if they found someone, even married someone they met online, still they would continue to go online every day and night, chatting up the next person. that part was weird to me - too insular. so i decided that being out there in real life was sooo much better.
take it as a learning experience.

its brilliant! i have met some fantastic guys through online dating. made some great friends. i met my b/f online and he is totally gorgeous. be smart about it though - i have met a lot of idiots and some crazies! build some rules and stick to them. be mindful -not all girls on these sites are honest. i have a lot of friends that have dated this way and a few that have married or getting married. works for us!

No harm done. I know lots of people who have got their soul mates on the net, some for keeps some for some fun.
But always be cautious that's all.
Take care

Yup, worth a shot.
Just becareful though, give yourself alot of time to understand the person you're going to meet. Before you go any further with this relationship, you must meet her/him in person to make sure he/she is who he/she claims himself/herself to be.
Better be safe than sorry.
