I did some quick websurfing... and it seems nothing of the ordinary online dating stuff only you can take your chat/im's to places...
Actual places to go
As fro my question about the money, this is all i found doing a quick search. It's 100 dollars for a wedding (all out), so I guess its safe to say that a date can be the equivalent to 1 dollar or so.

Wedding Bells
This could not have been more true for Britain’s Farrant and Roden. After they had virtual sex, a
steamy phone conversation and a Web cam chat, they decided their avatars, Ruby and Ravan,
should become engaged. They planned “the ultimate Second Life wedding” with the help of wedding
planner Pentium McKenzie and her company, Wedding Bells, Farrant said. The wedding cost
35,000 Linden dollars (about $100 at the time), which Farrant paid with direct transfers from his bank
account to the suppliers.
Joyce Bettencourt owns a virtual cathedral in Second life for such momentous occasions and her
avatar, Rhiannon Chatnoir, acts as a wedding impresario. “Some people have weddings in Second
Life because they were unable to have the pomp and circumstance wedding in real life,” Bettencourt
said. She makes about 1,000 Linden dollars per wedding, or $3.
Farrant said he and his virtual bride had “all the bits and pieces as a real wedding.” Ruby wore a
wedding dress and had her hair done. Ravan picked out a new outfit and had a best man. Nearly a
dozen guests attended the wedding in the gothic cathedral.
Not long after this virtual celebration, Farrant made the trip to meet Roden in person at her real
home in Wales. He ended up staying for nearly two weeks. Then he returned to Essex, sorted out
the details of his life, and drove right back to Roden with a van packed with his belongings.
Ten months have passed since they moved in together, and they’re still going strong as a couple in
both the real and virtual worlds. They still log into Second Life, but with much less frequency than
when their courtship began. Together they’ve purchased a virtual island, Utopia, where Ravan’s
building a nightclub and Ruby’s building another house.
“We’re in love more now than when we first met,” Farrant said, “and I thought that’s as good as it
got.”
Soon, Farrant plans to ask Roden to marry him. For them fantasy and reality have become one and
the same.
