DH and I met online, but it wasn't online dating. Just a message board - actually kind of similar to TE in a lot of ways, which I think was more common back in the day. So really, we met just "going about our usual activities," except that those activities happened to be online.
We knew each other for two years before we ever met face to face, and another year before we became a couple, but after that, the rest happened pretty fast. We really knew each other's personalities pretty well, even though we didn't know a lot of the details of each other's lives that are usually the first things people learn when they first meet the old-fashioned way.
I guess I'd be afraid of any set-up, whether online or f2f, being just too contrived for me. OTOH, my mom, in her 70s and a widow for a year and a half, is now dating someone she met at a senior singles' group. So who knows.
