I Need Help! How Do You Take That Next Step To Feel Comfortable To Seriously Date Online?

I need help! I’m a 26 yr old guy starting to delve into online dating as another venue. Up to this point, I’ve always felt meeting online and conversing intimately online to be two dimensional for my taste and just not for me. I’ve always felt conversing and relationships in person were more genuine.
But, I’m trying to change this because I met two great girls who would like to know me and vice versa online (unfortunately it’s long distance too). This experience is completely new to me and I need basic tips on communication, feeling comfortable doing so and being able to keep things fresh and non repetitive. I think my main problem is just getting past the ‘how are you’ type letters and feel i need to up the intimacy to show interest. If I don’t I usually withdraw but how do i do it without seeming like a pervert or coming off desperate?
I know I’m asking a lot, but could you provide me with good and bad experiences, several things to avoid talking about and things to talk about?
Much Thanks!!

My Boyfriend Is Planning Our Future. Should I Take Him Seriously?

My BF is 27 and very mature 4 his age and I am 21. We met on an online dating site and have been talkin 4 about 3 mths. B4 we started talking he made it clear 2 me that he wanted 2 get married and have children(he already has a child from a previous relationship that he takes responsibility for). I have no problem talkin 2 him about marriage and children as I want 2 get married and start a family in the future. He lives in MD and I in NC (we have not met face 2 face yet, only on web cam). Should I take him seriously? He tells me that he wants us 2 get married and have children. I have never met any1 like him and I am very much in love with him. He tells me all the time that he trust me, so this has got me thinkin that he is actually 4 real. We talk on the phone everyday (1 hr in the morning before I go to work and 4 hrs when I get off from work.) He tells me that he loves me everyday, he has every told his 3 yr old daughter that I am her stepmother.
Mature answers only please…

Ladies – Dating Tips Please – Seriously?

Divorced dad, professional, nice income, nice car, nice looks, nice house, etc. Approaching 40. What is too young to go after? I truly have no thoughts on going after younger women, just didn’t know what was a generally acceptable age gap to women these days as I’ve been out of dating for some time. I’m totally into the person and relationship, not the age, but again, was curious on what most would feel would be too young should I do an online dating service kind of deal. Other than online, suggestions on meeting women? Many thanks.

Seriously Questioning My Sexuality, Can You Help Define It For Me?

I feel a little lame posting this on Yahoo! Answers, but I feel like this is a great place, because there are real people out there to answer my questions, as opposed to researching it online.
I’m a girl. I’ve only ever hooked up with boys. I’ve only fallen in love [well, as much as a 16 year old is capable of loving] with boys.
But sometimes I feel as though I’m only straight, because that’s what’s expected of me. Does that make sense? I’ve always wanted to hook up with a girl, not just kiss or make out, but really try out a girl as I would with a guy, just to see if I’m actually bisexual. Like, I could picture myself with a female, dating one, and having sexual relations with one. I don’t think I’m straight, because I find myself having urges for girls.. or maybe I’m just curious? I really want to hook up with a girl, but I have a problem with doing so, because I feel like I’d be using the girl to answer my own questions. I think it’d be unfair to her. I’m not sure if that makes much sense, but I’m really confused as to what I should be doing. I think I’ll only know if I’d be willing to actually date a female once I am sure that I am truly sexually attracted to women.
Do I try a girl? Or do I continue pretending I’m completely straight with no curiosity and/or desires to be with a female?
I don’t know how to explain it. I also find lesbians really attractive [and I'm not trying to fetishize lesbians, just explaining how I feel. I'm not a pervert. I just believe strongly that two women coming together is one of the most special things in the world.] I think women are beautiful, and have better bodies than men, too. Women are attractive, sensual and truly extraordinary people.
I don’t know, can you offer some insight? I would truly appreciate it.
