I would have said NO a couple of years ago, but my son's good friend met a girl through on-line dating and they are still going strong after almost 2 years. Recently my son tried it out and went out with a few girls after "talking" with them on-line and on the phone but didn't seem to "click" with them in person. That was before this past August. He has now been in a two month relationship as a result of on-line dating. We'll see what happens. As in everything you must be careful.
