I totally agree this is the right approach. It seems like people are figuring this out. 10 years ago I did the Nerve personals (they were syndicated on various sites, I found them on The Onion) A lot of women seemed inclined to send a bunch of messages back and forth, which was mostly a waste of time... You find out much more about actual chemistry in 10 minutes face to face than in days or weeks of exchanging messages. At the time I tended to go back and forth between dates with people I met through friends, at parties etc vs online dating. Overall I'd say the online dating pool back then tended more towards introverted people... Seems less true now that it's become more mainstream. The people I did go on dates with tended to be highly intelligent though, more so than the ones I met in real life. Anyway, I'm happily married now. Good luck out there!
