I've done it in the past, match.com. While I have e-mails exchanged and chatted via IM with some guys, I've never met up with anyone for a date.
One story, on PlentyofFish, a free dating site, I had a guy get downright nasty calling me the "C" word because after a little chatting via IM and seeing his pics, I wasn't interested in him. I just wasn't attracted to him.
My problem is that Im really shy and don't have the best social skills
I asked this same question a day or two ago and the thread was deleted. Hope you have better succuess in getting an answer to a legit question than I did.
I guess they're worth it if you really want to find love and you give that heart a chance. That also means you need to not be so shy! I have a few friends that have met people on the internet and a few have gotten married.
Ever try OKCupid? I've used it before. Its pretty fun actually.

before i started dating my wife i would meet women that i got to know from AOL chat rooms. it worked but i would warn women to be careful about where they would meet a stranger.
It's hard to say whether the pay sites are worth it. In general, what you get out of online dating really depends on what you put into it. But one good thing about pay sites is that you know that the people who sign up are probably a little more serious about meeting someone than the people on free sites. I know that's not true in every case, but it's true most of the time. Anyone can sign up on POF or OKCupid cause they're free. So there're nothing to lose.

Whenever I've looked (in the past you could snoop more), there's always been a huge overlap among all the sites - paid, free, and yes, CL! I can't say if that's the case in all areas, but it likely is. That's why it's so funny to me when somebody sneezes at CL when most of the people there are also on match. Catching junk or treasure doesn't depend all that much on which online ces... I mean pool you fish in.

Ya know you are a conundrum, you have talked in the past how you only will date guys who drink, you have this guy who wants to be more then a friend with you, you have other guy friends.
Where is this shy no social skill person who needs to go on Match?

I used match and had great success there in meeting the "type" of women I wanted to meet, leading to many good dates, and eventually met the love of my life there. The free sites can work, of course, and many of the same people are on them, but there are far more insincere and creepy types there because "free" is affordable and open to anyone!
Here's what I've learned from online dating. You'll never know if you're into someone until you acutally meet them in person. there is no way to judge a person without knowing that person's mannerisms, way of talking, how the person treats wait staff at restaurants, how the person looks at you etc.
Always meet in public and give it a go. However is a person calls you the C-word then you already have an answer as to what that person is like.
