Because of the internet there are lots of young men and women who didn't learn to socialize in person.

Face to face interaction is becoming scary for people who aren't used to it. Same for physical contact and exercise.

If I put on a side the fact that I have become quite cynical about this matter (partner) with the time...I would like to believe that it's all possible, especially when internet is involved...
Well, nothing can spare you the BS, but kind of feels better when you don't have to do it in person...and the "exit" is faster and painless...

I would imagine it's a lot harder when you don't have a picture profile.

There will be a new socialisation that's for sure. It'll sound dumb and stunted to most older people, but any literate Victorian would say the same about today's people. They'd say that we sound like backward and uncultured peasants with no common sense.

Less of a concern is how people socialise, the new asocial normal will be just that, normal. No one would ever know the difference if they're all talking in cryptic code and text speak with great difficulty maintaining eye contact.
What really messes up relationships is being spoilt by choice. The sheer amount of options available, or at least the perception of such options, will birth fickle and indecisive nations of children who can't commit.

And again, it depends on what you are looking for...
Despite the enormous amount of internet dating sites and social medias I hear of very few successful relationships started this way...
Just an hour of personal contact can tell you more than months of "blind" chatting...
Internet is not making people less likely to find a partner but sometimes gives them the wrong impression of their own values...
They are more likely to settle for the "comfortable and convenient" instead the "right" one...

Well, what they(normal people) want (and wish for) and what they actually do are two very different things Obs...
Too many settle for less then they ever thought they will...
The unlimited options soon turn out to be a pattern that repeats itself quite too often...
But it's a personal choice after all, nothing wrong with that...

And as for your original question, I do think that the Internet has opened up a new outlet for dating.
It doesn't have to replace original face to face dating, but can enhance the opportunities of meeting someone.
I will be forever thankful for it, and so will many people on here who would never have met their partners otherwise.

Internet dating sites can be good for shy people, also, this can be especially beneficial for those who don’t have a large social circle. These individuals may have an easier time approaching people and opening up online and those who are socially anxious feel more comfortable communicating online. So, apparently it gives them access to more people and more types of people. I think the most obvious benefit of internet is to provide easy access to thousands of potential dates. I'm not saying that this would apply to everyone...
