I met my wife on a dating site, though I had an assist from a mutual friend.
My biggest takeaways were:
Don't expect instant and constant results. You can go weeks in between meaningful matches, and at some point you will actually tap out the "market" and there will be no one new for you to see in the app.
Be selective, but not demanding. Someone having a less-than-stellar profile may just mean they are bad at writing about themselves, not that they are a boring or unpleasant person.
