And DM hits the one point that is most valid here.  With the AJ and the flop you're ahead of 90% of your $100NL players that would call the PF.  We've all seen the donk plays, the suck outs with A6 and 69, the 27os played into an all-in.  The fact is that, especially in online poker, where reputation and respect is not a factor, and the money is too low to be an issue to the players, too many players have every reason to make bad plays, because the only thing that matters is being able to brag about it later ("Dude, I took down a guy who had AA with 27os - I'm a Poker God!")
 
This is exactly why I play online as little as possible - "real" poker in the casinos might have a huge rake, but the level of play is much more consistent (although I wouldn't say any better), so you can make money far more consistently than online.
 
I'm ranting - back to the cards at hand.  Here's the simple, I've got 30-seconds-to-decide answer.  Top pair, good kicker.  Nut flush draw.  Even if top pair is no good, you still have 12 outs (9 for the flush, 3 for the 2nd pair).  12 outs = roughly 50% chance to turn or river your best hand.
Bad guy bets less than the pot - I call.
 
Should you bet on the flop?  Yes.  Or check-raise even, just to check that the opponent is not making a position bet.
