I recently met a person from here, and in conversation he told me that during a time span of a few years he had been on over 50 dates, I responded by implying that he must enjoy the whole aspect of dating to which he said no he was seeking a more stable relationship. This got me thinking does internet dating really work for those seeking longterm relationships or does it serve better as a platform to those who enjoy dating. What do you think?

It does work.  About 20% of marriages met online first.  Of course, you may have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.
