Hmmm... maybe I should give in to my moms harrassment and sign up for one.

Yeah, I'll confess that I did as well. When I ended things with my last girlfriend (of 2 years) 3 months ago, I really felt like I wanted to "get back out there" rather then sit at home and feel sorry for myself (in truth, I really ended up doing both). You know a few years ago, yeah it would sound desperate and sad - but hey, its 2009, a place like here in Silicon Valley, its a working city with professionals working 60 hour weeks and in high tech, its almost entirely a male dominated field.
I honestly don't feel I need to lie about it to my friends that I went out on a date or two with a girl I met online, and they weren't bottom of the barrel or anything. One was a 25 year, second year med student at Stanford, another is a 25 year old masters student in psych right now.
I guess between going out and taking initiative if you are interested in meeting someone or going on a date, it beats sitting at home and waiting for it to come to you.
