So TECHNICALLY I did not meet my husband online, nor did we do online dating, but before we dated and were just friends, we would message each other ALL the time. We talked about everything and anything and it made it easy for the two of us to catch up inbetween the rare occassions we could meet up. It also was fun showing him my digital art and for him to share his progress with his video game stuff. By the time we were ready to date, we knew a lot about each other already and a lot of that is thanks to just messaging each other on facebook. Without it, it would have been harder and longer to know one another better. In that way, cyberspace helped us connect.

Dating in general can be awkward and messy especially if you are new to it or having bad luck, but online dating can offer new possibilities and options you did not have before. The worst that could happen is that you delete your account because you aren’t getting anywhere.
