Flirting Online A New Art Form

Flirting online is a new art form that requires confidence without being overbearing. To be successful, it is important to have a good time, be lighthearted, humorous, and entertaining, have a positive attitude, compliment her, listen to what she says, encourage her to open up and tell you about herself, not be impolite, and not go too fast. The first step toward a successful relationship is flirting.

Many of the same things that work for "brick and mortar" flirting also work for online flirting, and all relationships begin with successful flirting. Flirting is an art that requires confidence without being overbearing. She will call you "slimy" if you go too far. She will label you as "wimpy" if you do not go far enough. So, how do you strike a balance between slimy and wimpy without using eye contact or body language online? You only have a computer, an internet connection, and a membership in an online dating site, correct?

1. Have a good time! Be lighthearted, humorous, and entertaining. Make her want to speak with you again. Flirting is a game.

2. Exude confidence. Successful flirts have a positive attitude toward life. You must convey the "feel good" factor. A positive attitude attracts females in the same way that honey attracts flies.

3. 3. Compliment her...frequently and sincerely. Nothing works as well as making her feel good about herself. She will want to spend more time with you, so say "thank you" when she compliments you. Do not be self-critical.

4. Listen…listen….listen. Pay close attention to what she says and ask pertinent questions. Encourage her to open up and tell you about herself. Make her feel interesting and as if you are interested in her. It works like a charm!

5. Do not be impolite. Flirting does not imply being sexually explicit or taking offense if the lady does not respond. Take the hint and move on to the next prospect if she isn't interested. If you get a lot of rejections, you should probably try something else.

6. Following your chat, send an email. This is as important as sending a thank you note for a gift and is essential to successful flirting.

Try not to go too fast. The first step toward a successful relationship is flirting.
