Why do I waiver so much with Online Dating?

I know that by dating online I cast a much wider net of men who I would never normally meet, but somehow I keep wanting to hide my profile. I guess it may be because I have this dream of seeing him across a crowded room where our eyes meet and we just know that we are for one another. Also, I just ended a dating scenario one week ago and I'm trying to heal from that. Maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself too soon.

I am ready to get out and meet people again, but somehow I've always run shy from online dating although my friends are convincing me to do so. What to do?

Dear friend, your assumption and definition of on line dating is correct, but it does not mean it is right for everyone.Listen to your heart, in due time it will happen naturally. You have to follow your dreams,and not what looks technically right. Each of us has a special road that leads toward our happiness. Have faith and hope, and your dreams will become a reality. God bless you always.

Thank you so much Marcie! A close girlfriend and I had a long talk about it this evening and we are going to "hold hands" through this process together. She and I are both on the same site and promised to keep one another in check. As well, we are looking at this as a way to meet new people that we would normally never meet. We will keep it to daytime [alcohol-free] meetings such as lunch and coffee. It will be all about developing friendships first and then possibly working into relationships when it feels right. But for the next month or so, we are both going to keep things very friendship-based. It really helps to have someone to go through this with and to have someone who helps keep me in check.
