Of course it's normal to want a bf. There are many options for meeting one and online is one of the options. When I was newly single (after 20 years) I thought of online dating as a numbers game. Most dates would not lead anywhere but a certain percentage would.
I had a couple of bfs from online, then eventually started dating a man at work and we are together and happy for 15 years.
My dad passed away four years ago. After his death, my 82 yo mother dated men from online but has settled into a steady relationship with a man she met at a dancing class.
Don't give up! Be careful, open minded and keep a sense of humor about it. Good luck to you.
