I am a introverted. I found it easier to meet men online first. Then after exchanging a few emails, we would meet.
This was easier for me than going to parties, clubs or bars. I don't do well in large groups of people.

I didn't marry until age 37 and until I was 30 years old, I'd never had a serious relationship in my life. I married someone I met online.

Online dating isn't for everyone, because some people are not savvy enough to deal with it. If someone won't agree to meet with you after a few weeks of exchanging emails, stop talking to them and move on to someone else. I also wouldn't talk to anyone online who lived long distance. They had to be willing to meet in person, in a public place first. If they don't want to meet in person, they are hiding something.
