I know a few couples who met through an online dating service, inluding my brother & his significant other.

I actually have an OkCupid account that I opened over 10 years ago - a bunch of us from an email list went to take a couple of tests, and then returned to our list to compare results and discuss how stupid some of the questions were. I never did much about a profile, and actually forgot about the whole thing until I got a silly email a couple of weeks ago that included "happy birthday" and "still single?" I should probably get around to deleting the account one of these days.

Glad you had a happy V-day :-)
