An age limit should be set for dating services on the internet, I think. And of course, there's the legal about it - no person under 18 in the US can be held to a contract as they are a minor. Not to mention the credit card business.
But apart from that, it's a little ridiculous to say "you can't date people from the internet unless you're of X age." There's no enforcing it, there's no reason in it, and it's going to happen whether you like it or not.
As for people who date internet people and end up with some...repercussions from it, being an adult, you take into consideration the medium in which you meet your partner. You should be prepared and knowledgeable enough to understand that no matter what medium you go through, there are lunatics out there.
The internet isn't the only place that harbors crazies. Remember - those people live outside the internet, too.
And as for services, some of my friends have used them. I hear eHarmony is a crock of shit for $60 a month, but Match.com is pretty good. eHarmony restricts your interaction IMMENSELY.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
