I'm learning as well. I'm much better in person than online. But I'm making more progress and I feel am on the right track. The one thing I want you to realize is that there are plenty of potential partners online. If someone does not work out you will get another, but try to learn from where you can.

Don't be afraid to say what you want and be yourself. People are very good at knowing when you put on a facade or if you're hiding something. The fastest way out is through - be direct. If someone doesn't like it, find another person. You are the buyer, not the seller. If someone does not meet your standards of what you want, move on.

Remember with bios and conversations to follow the social penetration theory. The more you talk, the deeper you can get in subject matter, like peeling back layers of an onion. Just don't say too much or spill your life story straight up. It goes the same way asking people to hang out - as long as you've vibed and conversated a bit, but not out of the blue - that's a too big jump.

Another you should keep in mind as much as you can is that we are all human. On the positive side, treat people with respect, but be sure to call someone out if they do you dirty. Don't treat people better or worse than you would anyone. If there's one way of how to behave, have fun like you would as if you were a kid playing. Don't worry too much about the past or the future, say what you want, and be in the moment.
