For me, online dating worked out, but it took a long time, was a bumpy road. I found that having a great group of friends also helped me. After college I moved to a new city and a corporate job with a skewed gender ratio, which made it tough to meet people, and probably made me a less desirable mate (having thin social connections). When I moved back closer to home, to people I knew, and found a job at a smaller company I enjoyed, things fell into place — even people you meet online will need to fit into your irl life eventually.
