To my mind they're no different from people putting adverts in "lonely hearts" columns, or getting to know people online in general. There can obviously be risks in arranging dates etc. via an online site, but I believe the main and most reputable sites do have safety tips marked out on their sites and provided you take sensible precautions it's probably no worse than meeting via mutual friends/in pubs and clubs and so on. Whether it works or not is down to the individual, but I don't see a problem with the concept in general - particularly given matchmaking services have been established for a long, long time now.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
