KImmerz -
Online dating is for initial introductions ONLY. You should move on to a coffee date meeting as soon as possible if you think it's someone you might be interested in. It's too easy to develop a pseudo-relationship online - or to be the victim of a scammer - so I don't recommend long online conversations. If it seems like you might have something in common, go directly to coffee date stage where you can suss out the guy in the light of day.
