Is there something wrong with The Fray today? I can't get the quote thing to work. Anyway, LauriAnnM; it was a serious question. What are your concerns about me, the questioner? And thanks for the response by the way. But really, you said "never do that" and "that's just silly", without offering a reason why you feel that way. I'm interested in why you feel that way. I believe there is a certain stigma attached to people who resort to dating services, be it online or otherwise. Seems that if you live a reasonable life, you're going to come into contact with a variety of people sooner or later. And a natural approach, if I can call it that, seems to offer the best chance for a natural progression of a relationship, imho.
