I met my BF on Lavalife. It took about 8 - 10 months to screen through a whole pile of guys who didn't realise they were still hooked into their past relationship, guys who had no idea of what they wanted other than sex, guys who really were actually still in relationships and or married who were just looking for sex, guys who were really just hopeless, and guys for whom the pieces were in place, but we just weren't suitable for each other (a sadly small minority).

I am really happy with my beau, but I wouldn't recommend lavalife. I would go for something like eHarmony that works like a matching service. I haven't tried it personally, so I can't really recommend it, but I have known people who have used it. It seemed to me I could have saved several months of rather disappointing dating and countless weird emails.
