I've been with my boyfriend 3 and a half years now. We met on Match.com, while I was a night shift nurse, and I had the exact same thoughts as you before finding him. He's wonderful! You do have to meet a lot of frogs before you find your prince, and for me it took about 2 months on Match, though I think I really lucked out time-wise. Most people who've met their partner online have been at it a lot longer than that. It does take extra work and compromise on both sides to begin a relationship while working completely opposite shifts. I got a strong inkling this guy was the one when, very first date when we met, he suggested breakfast at a Dunkin after one of my workshifts, before a morning meeting he had! I thought that was so sweet that he thought outside the typical dating box right off the bat! Good luck, and hang in there! I think patience is key.
