My uncle met a woman on a dating site last year, and they've been engaged for two months now. I think it can work as long you meet at a reputable site and are honest about what you're looking for.

It is possible. My daughter lived with me for a short period of time. She asked me to make a profile of her for Yahoo Personals. I did so with a picture of her and her little girl.
She wanted me to pay for her membership in the personals. I told her that was her job.She was a bit upset saying that she might not ever meet anyone. I told her to turn on her yahoo messenger and maybe some local guy will see her online and say hi to her. She didn't believe me.We went to the kicthen. We heard the noice meaning she had a guy sending her a messege. I am talking five minutes after we poster her profile. She sat down and they chatted for a copule of hours. I was sitting there and he know her mom was there. We had a ball. They had some mutual friends. She met him the next day. They were made for each other. They have been together now for more than 4 years. They have her daughter from a previous relationship and they have a son age 2 and another baby on the way, due this winter. They have worked hard on haveing a good, strong relationship. They met in five minutes on Yahoo. Not everyone is that lucky.
I have met some wonderful men online, but also have meet some really creepy men too.
I have made some good friends, men who will never be bf's but non the less friends.
Don't give up and don't compermise yourself for a not so good realtionship.
Try yahoo personals

As with friendships and dating in the real world, a lot of it is just being in the right place at the right time. But it's also more risky than meeting people in real life. I have made many friends online, and I know a few women who found their future husbands online, but it's pretty much a gamble. You don't always know exactly who is messaging you. Eventually you'll want to meet for real, and hopefully you get what you were expecting.
One of the nice things about the internet is that you can get to know someone without having to worry about what you look like. You can chat or email in your pajamas and needing a shower, and it won't offend the other person, because they are probably doing the same thing.
To increase your chances of success, whether online or in person, the basic rules are the same. Be yourself, and be honest. It may be tempting to lie about your age, appearance, job, or finances, but if you want anything serious and lasting, those lies will eventually blow up in your face. Look for people with similar interests, so you'll have something to talk about, and don't worry so much about looks. And don't set yourself up for disappointment. Always keep in mind that the other person may not be 100% honest.
Have fun. Be safe. Good Luck!

All the answerers are right in a way. Still, I foud two friends from other countries here - on this site. One of them helped me a lot when it was a hard time of my life. Then once I met a young man from my city and when we met - we couldn't stop being together.
THings happen. but jerks exist - be careful.

I'm a good friend am I not?! Wahh!!!!!
Okay, nevermind then...baby, you have to just get out there into the real world and mingle...looking for love online is a huge risk and it's not healthy. (Trust me, been there, done that...)
Just be yourself and be more involved with people in your area...go to clubs, book stores, shopping centers, anywhere you think you'll meet a person and date around!
You'll be fine...
Love you! <3 La Reina

Too many opportunities to lie when online. I don't trust the web for finding realtionships of any kind.

Get out and meet people...why hide behind a computer? We all suffer rejection (even me who is a goddess-smile)...there's someone for everyone...but it takes time and knowing what you want...best of luck...
