I think if you are going to try online dating you have to be comfortable. If you are uncomfortable with the idea or the concept of online dating, then it's just not going to work for you.
It's the same with offline dating. If you go to a club and it's just not the right groove, you are not getting the right vibes, then you are not going to be comfortable.
Find a social community that you are comfortable with. Find something that feels right. Try a few different dating sights and see how that feels. I the dating sites don't feel right, try to social networking sights. Though not designed for online dating specifically, they are still a good way to meet people, who share your various interests and ideals. They are a good way to meet friends, and just like in the real world, they might also be a good place to make the right connection.
If online dating is not for you then it's not for you, you have to first decide what feels comfortable for you and then take it from there.
