Ok so the young one didn't go anywhere, not enough spark I guess, fizzled out. Going out with the first one this weekend, again not a long term thing, we've very different backgrounds and interests but I enjoy and am very relaxed in his company and we get on very well for now.
So.. to answer the OP's question after 2 months of reflection and dipping the toes back in, I'd say yes it is possible of course to meet the love of your life after a break up (see Wuzziwig) but online you are more likely that you will meet people less suited to you but attract you on a superficial level. Fine if you are looking for something casual but not for long-term. My own experience is that I haven't met or been approached by any weirdo's who have messed me around which I thought would be the case given some of the experiences mentioned here. I see the online thing as a trial run and practice for meeting someone more organically. If you can go and meet a complete stranger and chat to them then talking to someone you either already know or have a link with should be child's play!
