Do people take internet dating seriously?

I have heard many people saying they only do internet dating just for fun and they are not even thinking of dating someone from the internet.I tried it once myself and it didnt work because i found out that the person i thought i could spend my lonely days with is not the person i thought he is.he was acting childish and everytime we were together he talked about how his ex girlfriend and him went through a lot and i told myself that i wont go here again so i stopped calling him and he tried to get hold of me and i didnt give him a chance to do that.some of my friends says they have tried internet dating and they have gone through the same way i did and some they were used in a way that they wont even consider internet again.

But i say there are nice guys and ladies out there who are serious and willing to commit to a long term relationship.Its a pity that some of us are not psychics,if we were it would be easier because we would just look at the picture of someone we like and say this is the mother of my child or the father of my future baby.

Good luck to those who found love through the internet..wish us who are still hunting good luck!!
