Another factor was that we were both close to 40 and by that age we kind of had an idea of what we wanted and didnt want in a relationship. It was pretty straight forward. We lived close enough to each other but would never have found eachother if we were not online. Pretty cool, eh?

I agree. If you move quickly from online communication to real life dating, it is possible to work. Over the past 12 years, I've known three couples that met on match.com and are married now. I think that's pretty good. I used it myself and met some good people.
That being said you need to exercise a lot of caution and be sure to stay safe. I am paranoid by nature so I never give out my personal info until I have met in real life. There are a lot of people who are fakes online, or not ready to meet real people, or who are scammers. People do pray on the naive and lonely so you need to have a thick skin to be successful. So don't give personal info, money or anything else. But it can work, there is potential, you just have to work at it
I am in my 40's so I particularly think it is a great way to meet people in this day and age.
