Andrew -
You are quite true - you never meet the perfect person online, all you meet are people with the potential of becoming friends, enemies or something else. I can say with some certainty that my foray into the online dating thing was completely by accident and not a result of desperation. I was in my 30's, traveling 80% of the time for work and keeping an online presence was the only way to have some continuity in communication with other people. As I said in my earlier post, it is a crap shoot and you should check out everyone you meet online before doing the real life meeting. Even then, only meet in public and if you get a bad feeling, ditch the date and pay for a cab home.
