Hi ~ From what I've seen of several different forums I belong to, online dating hasn't really gone well. It seems that while things might have been so wonderful online, if they DO become a couple in real life, they find that their quirks and irritating habits are a little hard to live with -- PLUS the fact that their pictures weren't exactly accurate.

Then I've seen the majority of them have to deal with jealousy, which is difficult to cope with.
Just MY observation, but I think it's much "safer" to find someone in real life, even tho it might take a little longer. I certainly think it's worth it to try.
Best of luck. I know you're tired of being lonely -- and I know what loneliness is. Please take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
