You need to get over it
I was all goofy about meeting people online and then I realized that millions of people do it. I met a guy online. It did not pan out. I ran into him at a party later - I recognized his photo. I quietly went up to him and said, "We corresponded on match.com". He dragged me over to the hostess (who is a sucessful executive) and announced that we'd met on match.com. She smiled and said, "That's how I met *my* boyfriend!" Then she asked how long we'd been dating. I laughed and said, "Um, well, we never did go on a date." So, in my opinion, I met the guy at the party. Having seen his photo online and exchanging email just gave us an opening to talk to each other face-to-face.
Its just another way to meet someone. Its really no big deal anymore, especially for someone in their early 30s. Just tell them how you met. I would bet that a lot of your single friends would see how happy you are and would sign up in hopes they could meet someone really nice, too.
