I believe the question was "What's your opinion on online dating?" not "Graal dating.." But of course online dating is now a possibility, and in no way is it "sad" or "pathetic." It's just as "sad/pathetic" as meeting someone through a social network, texting, etc. How you find the one you feel comfortable with calling your mate, shouldn't be anyone else's business.

My opinion: How you find love, or what seems like love is up to the person, and is completely OK with me.
