When I'm amenable to meeting someone new I usually insist on a quick meet. Generally, I do not discuss BDSM and/ or relationship topics with people I haven't met. I think the willingness to do so tends to feed the trolls. Once we both have a human being whose eyes we have looked into then I am amenable to playing 'getting to know you' online, as I think of online as a communication tool with those I have established relationships (casual, friendship, sexual, D/s, S/m, whatever). Until I've looked in your eyes you are smoke to me. We may enjoy interacting but my investment doesn't go much farther than that. I don't spend weeks and months playing getting to know you with someone I might find interesting unless I've met them. I meet them and see if I find them interesting in meatlife. Then I take my own sweet time, online, on the phone and in meatlife. I agree with LadyHugs, the best relationships ('best' meaning closest to your ideal - romantic, deep, superficial or otherwise) develop naturally when you're not searching for them; rather, getting on with your life and being open to the possibility seems to be the best course of action.
