I was doing the internet dating thing for 5 years before I met my husband. It's like any other dating, meaning it takes time and luck. In my case it was the only type of dating I was doing. Most of my social interaction was more professional than personal. I met a lot of guys, good and bad, on the internet. It's hard to kiss frogs via e-mails and I found myself spinning my wheels - on guys that I should have known wouldn't work out - a lot while I was doing that.

Persistance pays off sometimes.

Good luck!
