That's why I rather try to find new friends, people I can connect with, talk with, have fun with. Still I live in hope that some day I will bump into Mr. Right - not necessarily in here, but I keep my options open. My advice is, if somebody seems interesting in the romantic way when mailing, then it would be best to try to meet as soon as possible to avoid constructing fantasies and images and get disappointed.
But if the romance isn't there, there might be at least friendship!
gleneagle: I think people are more fussy in on line dating because they can be. I think the bar is set higher here because there are no consequences. The worst that can happen in the initial stages of online contact is you have to ignore or block that person. I worry a bit about online dating because all our senses can not be utilized to weed out the undesirables as would be in the real world. Its easy to construct an image on here that may seem appealing but may not in line with the real person.

bubbles85: sometimes the flattery doesnt work just on its own you better get on and make sure u can perform so
I hope 8 months haven't made my potential performance too rusty. In real life I'm hopeless at flattery and buying flowers. It must run in the family because my sister-in-law says that if my brother bought her flowers now she would think he was having an affair. I contend that we live our love for our partners in the way we relate to them daily instead of grand gestures or mushy words.
