I don't think an answer will get better than that one.
As for me, I admit in my early MS days, I would meet a lot of girls and had a few strictly Online GFs. I eventually stopped, when I came back to playing MS in 2011 I played it strictly as a game. I didn't even go out of my way to add people to my BL. I joined a guild, I met people...and one of those people I met I started to talk to a lot more than I had originally planned. From MS chat, it eventually went to MSN, from MSN to on the Phone, from on the Phone to Webcam. Eventually she flew to meet me in San Francisco.. that feels like it was forever ago.
We are now happily engaged, with our wedding date set to take place on Nov 1st. We live together, and I honestly never thought I would find my Wife on Maplestory, but I am thankful everyday that I have. So I suppose, yes online dating can be very successful...if you abide by what KhainiWest said.
