This is millenium, dating online is no problem. Thats what my friend said when she about leaving my university to go to jakarta to do some blind date with a guy from Surabaya. It work, they got married  .
When i was in university two of other student from agriculture faculty married a guy from british, another one married a guy from australia. Both know each other from chat room.
I think its a no problem thing...... but what do people think about that else than me and my friend ofcourse.. hmmm ??

In terms of the online dating, the web just provides the means of communication or facility to meet new people.
Regarding to bring the relationship onto the next level, like marriage, it all depends on the person character and stuff like that.

online is how i started talking to my wife.
Both of us were only chating for fun, a way to take up time during slow work days.
As for the bad side. Of course i have a few bad stories , but i have far more good things.

I met my future wife online and totally by accident on a site that was not a dating site or a chat forum, she made an interesting posting and I sent her a personal message relating to it.
We started chatting online etc and it just seemed to happen.
I would never have believed it if somebody told me it could be possible but the circumstances arose that made our meeting happen, and I do not believe in coincidences.

I'm intrigued by your nickname NOTYET, still trying to think of a good name....? Maybe we should hold a competition or something... 
As for the topic, hmm, well I once met up with a young lady who I talked to online, well I went to meet her, she didn't turn up. When I got there and then phoned her up to ask where the hell she was she was astonished that I had actually thought it was a 'real' date, she thought stuff online just wasn't real, if you agreed to meet it was just fantasy or something. So then raced down to where I was waiting for her, still putting on her make-up as she arrived. Anyway she turned out to be a pretty annoying girl....

Nice story P. I never dated somebody through the web. When the web became fashionable I already was tied up with my current woman. No regrets but man I wish I could relive those days with all the online dating possibilities...

Well P I am not looking for a new nickname I like this one and there is a reason for it but that is another story.
I did once try a dating site and only ever met scammers trying to get me to give them money, one woman nearly managed to scam me but I was lucky.
There are lots of people get ripped off on these sites for thousands of pounds/dollars /euros as I later discovered but as I say I was one of the lucky ones, There are also very many people who find their true love and soulmate on these sites and a lot of timewasters who just want some fun.
Some people get lucky. some people get ripped off and some people just have their time wasted, exactly the same as real life. The internet just gives everybody a bigger area to cast their own net.

For dating sites, I guess the main one is Indonesian Cupid, my general impression is that most of the profiles there are for real, although I have noticed some people using photos of celebrities as their profile pics. Asia Friend Finder is junk I think, and apart from those two there are a lot of local sites that seem more like social networking but that might be a good thing. Indonesian Cupid pitches itself as a kind of wife/husband finding service.

Have a look at http://www.connectingsingles.com , they have some good forums, especially the International one, though its dominated by Americans (or it seems so to me!). Its also free.
I've met many people who have become good friends, especially in Indonesia, through these sites. The scammer risk is high, but once you learn to recognise them, they are easy to manage.
They certainly attract a wide variety of people, with diverse backgrounds and aims.

@ Patung
I just said whats on my mind..
That first guy looks like he is 50es or 60es. Its half of my age. Seriously...
If i want a guy, i prefer with someone whos not going to made me a widow very quick. Thats what i call "bau tanah". How come you say its harsh ? youre insulting me if you want to match that old guy with me..
I am not a gold digger okay ? i wont be happy if my dear husband die too quick (whether he is RICH or doesn't have money), its not fun at all.
About that young guy... i said honest thing on my thought too, which you translate AGAIN as harsh.
Anyway.. everyone had their own like and dislike.

No problem Farah, I didn't mean the old guy, God he looks like he should be in prison for sex offences or something, kind of disgusting looking, I meant the young guy but it was just a joke…I'd never insult you...I gave you three plugs here.

i would have to say that using the internet and 'dating' websites is becoming more and more common, and acceptable amongst asian/muslim families in britain. there was a time when marrying to someone outside of your family and caste was a big no-no, but times are changing. especially for the second and third generation of immigrants to the uk.
but of course the system is always open to misuse. of the sites that i've come across (okay, so i signed up to a few, with no result) most of the people don't seem to be looking for anything serious, just mindless flirting and looking for nothing in particular
