You sure she isn't the one on the right ?
Sorry.. in my experiance if they don't look right in the picture then they *really* don't look right when you meet them, girls spend a lot of time choosing a photo that has them at there best.
I've done internet dating off and on since I split from my wife, it made sense to me as i don't have a large network of friends and needed to just meet some new people.
Been hit and miss, have met some really nice people, have some new friends, a couple of girl friends, have met some bunny boilers.
Things I've found. Free sites are just as good but you have to be very prepaired to search to find the good ones and not phased by apparent rejection. Match is rubbish !, only join the pay ones for a month max, change your profile and pictures regularly. Try and meet as soon as it seems safe, don't build up and "internet relationship". Don't flurt till you meet them ! You have to put effort into it, message lots of people and read there profiles to make your messages personal, even if its just there name or one little comment about there profile. Oh and we are just coming into a quiet time, summer holidays, September is a great time to join and look
For me, i've just met a fantastic girl and although its early days it feels very good, so yea, it worked for me and if it doesn't work out I will do it again
