Met my wife on one 14 years ago. Been married 10 years this July. I feel you need to kind of play by the same rules you would normally use in real life, but the initial contact is generally easier for those with social anxiety/issues. I feel rejection is a little easier too, if it's done before you meet face to face.

Yes, I think this is about right.  The other advantage of online dating though, is that you can (virtually) meet a hell of a lot more people than you can in real life.  And, really, meeting your partner is as much a numbers game as anything else.  The more shots you take, the more likely that one pans out.
