As popular as online dating is nowadays, there are still a lot of people who feel embarassed/uncomfortable by the thought of "I met my s/o through a computer." Maybe OP is one of those people that doesn't want to resort to online dating unless he absolutely has to. I mean, I get it (if that's the case).

Throughout time, building relationships (whether it's personal, business etc etc) has usually been face to face and getting to know one another IRL VS, talking through an electronic box etc etc before "meeting" for the first time.

I will say though, even though online dating isn't for everyone..it CAN work. One of my gf's who got married just this past summer met her husband from EHarmony and they couldn't be happier. They are the perfect match and all of her friends/family adore him and vice versa.
