How to be an Effective Online Flirt

Online dating is an interesting study of contrasts.  It gives shy types some leverage and equal opportunity with more self-assured guys.  At the same time, it can leave men clueless about online flirting since all we can count on is personality and knowing what words to say.  After all, online dating has higher communication requirements than a regular relationship does—no  to mention that communication is among the least of our proficiencies, second only to commitment.  What’s a nice guy who’s just looking for his dream girl to do? Make these online dating techniques work for you.

Online dating techniques for dummies

First, you have to understand that women have a certain idea about the right online dating flirting stages.  Typically, your e-love connection should follow this progression: messaging or e-mail, live chat, phone calls and text messaging, then a face-to-face date.  If you rush in to meet right after the first few messages, she’ll most likely think it’s just a booty call for you.  At the same time, taking too long to move on the next stage makes you appear too casual or worse, she’d think that you’re a cheat.

Online dating flirting tips that work

Relax.  Worrying too much about pleasing her and getting a second helping will keep you from being upbeat and engaging.  Online flirting should be fun! Women like witty and funny guys, but hold your green jokes in check until you’re really close that she’ll probably have decided you’re not a pervert.

Be confident but don’t be cocky.  Give sincere compliments and thank her whenever you receive one.  No matter what you do, don’t go to the extremes.  Being condescending or self-pitying are the biggest turnoffs especially to women.  Be a good listener, and it’ll work well for both of you.

Don’t lie.  Effective virtual flirts don’t cook up stories, because they don’t want to create a false image that they can’t live up to.  A little white lie can ruin it for you, since women believe that someone who can get away with a little fib will get away with anything.
