I assume you're a female, so this is skewed towards your gender in some respects.

Don't lie. Don't continue to interact with people who appear to be lying. Try your best not to be fickle, showing interest and then withdrawing.

That's how people who don't pay for membership contact you. It has nothing to do with being shy or not knowing what to say.

Expect most people to be socially awkward, and self-conscious about meeting people off the internet. Expect not to want a second date, although occasionally you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The photo, height/weight information, and some semblance of communication skills are the big three. Next I'll look for particularly skilled writers, people who seem to have a good sense of humor, and people with whom I share interests.

All the time. None of my friends tease me in an attempt to hurt me, though, or they wouldn't be my friends. It's all in fun.

Same as decoding real life euphamisms. Would it be any different if you met an attractive guy at a bar and he mentioned he just wanted to have fun?
I wouldn't put too much stock into what anybody says regarding what they want, however. It's not an even market, on or offline, so women tend to be overly demanding and men tend to say whatever they need to say to get their foot in the door.
