I think it is a good option. I know of several situations that people met online, eharmony, and they are now married. Just be very careful. In their case they were super conservative and it was hard to find some one with a similar background. I currently have one son 21 who is trying to connect online. He is from a particular cultural group and is interested in a wife from a similar background and there are just no people from his ethnic background in our area. Birds of a feather flock together. I married some one from my home country but we met through a church setting.
