The thing is I have a girlfriend. I'm talking to her right now on Skype. I met her on OKCupid.

THAT'S WHERE I MET MY GIRLFRIEND, TOO.
And I too am currently in an awesome relationship with a girl I met on OKCupid.
I think dating sites are lame, and felt like they were for people who couldn't get dates in real life. After ranting to a close female friend of mine about how I'm sick of only finding sort term flings and wish I could find someone who held my interest and I actually just really enjoyed spending time with, she forced me to make an OKCupid profile. Turns out that is how she met her husband (i.e. the bastard who stole her away from me because I didn't want her and who actually sounds ridiculously awesome, though I've never met him. It's never super awesome when the guy a girl rebounds from you on ends up being unbelievable cool and totally whisks her away and makes her far happier than you have ever seen her. But so goes my life).
It took almost a year after she first told me to make the profile before she finally convinced me to do it. I got a lot of interesting dates out of it, most of which were absolutely awful and confirmed my feelings about dating sites being for people who can't hack it socially in real life, but there were a few really cool ones that I had a lot of fun with, and one in particular who is freaking perfect.
There is no excuse for being lonely in this day and age, there are simply too many other sad and lonely people out there. It is all a matter of finding them. And to do that, you have to put yourself out there. Be that via bars, coffee shops, Church singles events, book clubs (met a really great girl at a book club once!), or online dating. You're not just going to bump into them while walking from your home to your car. Stop being lonely and make some other people a little less lonely too. Even bad dates can be a lot of fun, and they give you cool stories to tell your friends later.
