Twitter Oauth complicated

Hi, it seems twitter is very complicated when it comes to getting a user based login to store a token. The examples contain application only examples. Are there any examples where I can get a token for the user logging in and then use that to get profile info? I don't want to just ask them for a user name and look it up based on application only auth, because they could enter any user name, I wouldn't know that its really them. Basically my goal is the following: I want the user to login with twitter and then I want to use that token to get profile info on that specific user. How can I accomplish this?
