To beg (publicly) or not to beg?

Entering into the singles world in the web 3.0 era is rather daunting. As the boundaries between my online and offline persona become even more blurred the possibility of finding a mate on mysinglefriend.com becomes ever more likely. This prospect causes me great distress. While I am a technology geek and love the way the internet enriches my life I am even more of a romantic and therefore the prospect of not happening upon love in an unexpected fashion fills me with absolute fear. The bigger worry is that I've completely over analysed online dating because I'm shit scared of putting myself out there. Alone.
