The internet is as good as anywhere else.. it get's slammed all the time because people are able to make themselves different, and can lie, as well as the creepy people, but that is no different than meeting in person.

Though that happens everywhere, even church. There are some success stories, but there's also a lot of fraud and heartbreak. You just need to take plenty of time to really get to know someone and see how they conduct themselves in a lot of different settings.

It makes the person to open up easily. Inasmuch as they are some element who will capitalize or fake theyself. But have a way of revisit some of what he say and ask question again on the same issue to know when he saying the truth.

It can be a great way to meet people, but as many people have already said, it can be a great place for scammers as well. Personally, I am engaged to a girl that I met online. I do not doubt my decision for a second.
On the flip side, it is not for everyone. It takes a very different personallity to handle it. It takes a lot of patience, dedication, and prayer, to 'date' online. It also takes great faith. Both in yourself and in God, and his plan and timing.
So, yes, it can be a good place for Christians to look for their partner, if you can handle it. Just stay in constant prayer. Make sure that you know who you are taking to completely before you get at all serious. Also, use a trusted site that has security features. I used eHarmony.com . Online dating does work, I am living proof of it. Just be careful.

Some people just have a knack for that kind of stuff. So the internet is not to blame for it, because if someone has ill intent, it doesn't take an internet account to execute. People need to instead of bashing internet, take some classes & learn about nervous traits recognized in alot of the predators out there, so people can get an early warning.
