Can you have a serious relationship on Second Life? 
A lot of people do, and it's probably a safer way for some people to have a relationship. People interact socially in different ways, and some people who might not be able to have a interpersonal relationship in the flesh might be able to do in some other means. I think some people can release more inhibitions if they are acting through another character. 

What’s the sexiest thing about a Second Life player?
If they aren't embarrassed that they're doing it, that's sexy. Like, "I enjoy doing this, so I'm going to do it." The excitement to try something new and participate in a new way of socializing.

What’s the best way to hook up with a Second Life player?
The way Second Life is organized, you can zip around the map by interest. If you're into golfers, you can put in golf. There are dance clubs, different sex clubs, and fetish areas. It can be dirty and porny, but there can be matchmaking. It's not weird to meet people online. People have relationships in Second Life and then decide if they want to meet in real life. Like other online dating. There are some people who probably want to keep it online, and then there are some who are more committed to having relationships. 

I'm really into Second Life, but the guy I'm dating barely knows what it is. I've tried to show him, but he doesn't seem that taken. Could you ever date anyone who wasn't into Second Life, or is it a dealbreaker?
It's not a dealbreaker. I don't need to date myself. I don't need the person I'm dating to be into it. But being into it and being open to it are different. They need to respect that I'm into it. 

My girlfriend works insane hours and loves her job, but I feel like she has no time for me anymore. How do I get the attention from her that I used to get when she was unemployed? 
Don't expect it to be the same thing. She has other things going on in her life. Try to find a new dynamic that works for both of you. 

My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple years, and have fallen into the rut of boring date nights — dinner and a movie. How can we spice it up?

Cheat. Not really. Do something that neither of you have ever done before. Or take something only one of you has done before — activity-wise or sex-wise — and introduce it to the other person. 

The guy I'm dating has an unusually large sexual appetite and sustainability. I know I should be glad, but it's exhausting and sometimes I just don't feel like it. How can I get him to cool it so that we can do other things together, not just constant humping?
Talk to him about it. See if he's using it as a substitute for something else, or if he's uncomfortable doing other things. See if there's anything you can do for him that's as fulfilling, and make sure that your relationship isn't totally based on sex. 

My girlfriend and I broke up a few weeks ago. The problem is, we live together, and the lease isn't up until September. Lately I've wanted to hook up with other girls. Is there a classy way to bring them to my place?
Nope. Even if you're breaking up with somebody you should still respect them, especially if you're living with them. You have to have a functional dynamic. Go do it somewhere else! Why would you do that to someone that you supposedly cared about?

I feel like my internet identity — whether it be Facebook, Gchat, Twitter. etc. — is very charming, witty, and fun. But when I actually meet up with my online acquaintances, I'm shy and introverted and it always feels likes my dates are disappointed. How can I transfer my internet poise to real life?
Figure out why you need that middleman to be yourself, and know that if it's working online it should work in real life. Have faith. If the person doesn't like you for who you really are, you shouldn't be with that person anyway.
