If you can't get it done in real life why is this gonna make it easier? Real life is so much harder!!!!

My husband and I met online (thank you craigslist), and we know lots of people who met the same (or similar) way that we did.
It's not that we 'suck so much' with the opposite sex....we're just not bar people, and the social circles we run in are generally comprised of married people.
When you're out of college, and tied to a job that has you working upwards of 60 hours a week, it's a lot easier to get to know someone initially via email, IM, and phone chat than wasting lots of valuable face to face time with people you know you won't 'click' with romantically.
It worked for us - it's not for everyone.
