Yes, Internet dating can be dangerous, but Hey! I met my husband on an internet dating site! And 4 years down the line we are STILL happily married and have 2 beautiful children.

The one thing I liked about internet dating is that you can learn a lot about a person before you have to meet them. And the liars usually lied themselves into a corner very quickly.

To answer the questions asked:
Low self esteem, are they hiding something ? Not at all... it's a lot easier than going on a million blind dates
How long do these relationships last ? Ours is still going strong
How many relationships do they form in 6mths ? I only ever had relationships with 2 men I met online. One turned out to be married with children!
How many turn into marriages ? ?
What is the divorce rate among these marriages ? ?
Is online dating addictive ? I think it can be yes.
Most importantly, am I emotionally fit for online dating ? Only you would know.

I'd say the biggest thing is to keep close to God and let Him be your focus in life, not finding a mate. But I see nothing wrong with putting yourself out there.
