    Jun 14 2011: I think the biggest pieces of the puzzle, whether online or in person - is to be honest. Don't pretend to be anything other than you because faking is easily sniffed out and its a turn off. In a nutshell, don't try hard to be what you think other people are looking for - be you and do it with a sense that if the people you are talking with don't like the real you its not your loss. I don't mean be an ass, just be comfortable with being a person that not everyone will like and like minded people are bound to recognize you! If you're naturally shy I recommend taking notice to how many strangers you could say hello to, but don't. Every time you notice yourself avoiding striking up a conversation - make a point to say hello next time. Even if it is only the word hello and a look in the eye, eventually it will become easy.
