Meeting people online can be a boon for many reasons—it’s easy to find like-minded people; you can log on at any time; you can narrow your options by filling out a simple questionnaire. There’s another reason some people like to use the Internet to initiate relationships: If you’re a victim of your own body language (i.e., people tend to see you as shy or insecure, even though you feel like a confident, stable person), sometimes it’s easier to get to know other people via electronic means.
