HOW TO FLIRT ONLINE

"Flirting over the Internet is complicated. It is not possible to exhibit eye contact or body language in order to get a reaction. Here are some ideas that will lead to flirting online with great success. ."

1. "When you first meet someone online, it is wise to communicate in a conservative manner. You have to learn the comfort boundaries of your partner. Gradually you will learn when it will be appropriate to behave in a more casual and playful way."

2. "Do not be overly flirtatious. Discussing seriously intimate situations and being too open with sexual conversations can be a real turn off. It is also more fun to ensure that you leave some topics for later when you may choose to meet in person. "

3. "Avoid using a lot of abbreviated internet lingo when having a conversation (MFEO - Made For Each Other). Many people either overuse them or simply don't know what they mean."

4. "Follow up with an email message or an electronic "thank you" card after a good conversation. Many people, particularly females, will enjoy and take a positive note of this little act of kindness."

5. "Understand human nature. It is a proven psychological fact that people see themselves as the most important aspect of their life. It is important to allow people to talk about themselves. Ask them questions about their daily activities and their interests. Individuals are attracted to those who take a keen interest in their lives."

6. "Flirting commonly involves learning how to offer compliments. People almost always enjoy a well delivered, sincere, specific compliment. The compliments that you issue should be about something deeper than just their appearance. Perhaps the individual has an interesting hobby, is very successful in their job or is very involved with their children. Try complimenting their character, endurance, or hard work required for their success in their job."

7. "Finally be natural. Be yourself. Many individuals try to act like someone that they are not when they are online. Not only does this immediately reflect on you in a negative way but, it also can work against you later on. This is particularly true if the individual records all of your conversations only to discover later that you often contradicted yourself. This can be a powerful turn off."

"Always remember - the most powerful technique for successful online flirting simply involves patiently taking a sincere and honest interest in the other person."
