Become a Cyberflirt Superstar!

Tempted to start flirting on line or deliberating over a reply to email from someone you fancy? Here are 10 quicks tips that will set you on the path to becoming a Cyberflirt Superstar.

1. Keep things simple

There is no need for a run down of your life story in the first email or text. Keep it simple, short and sweet. Ask a question or give a compliment about something you have seen in their online profile. Include an interesting fact about yourself and add some humour. Ask light questions in the beginning save the heavy stuff for later. Remember to have fun!

2. Think about your responses before you press send

With communicating on line and via text you don’t have the benefit of reading peoples facial expressions and tone of voice. Often this method of communication can be misinterpreted and taken out of context. Read over your message and wait a while before sending it so you don’t have any misunderstandings.

3. Don’t be over sexual with someone you haven’t met in real life yet.

Communicating virtually doesn’t mean you have to be over sexual. In fact it can be a big let down when you finally do meet. Keep things playful, cheeky and flirty. Have fun, ask questions but leave the heavy stuff for later on.

4. Be honest

Be yourself. Don’t hide behind a made up persona. Let the real you shine through. It’s hard to keep up the lies long term and you don’t want your fellow Cyberflirter to fall for someone you are not. Think about how it would make you feel if you were conversing with someone only to find out in real life that they haven’t been honest.

5. Make them wait – but not to long.

Have fun and tease a bit. Don’t respond to emails or text immediately. Keep them waiting but not to long. Over a day or two is rude unless you have notified them in advance.

6. End with a question.

If you want to keep the communication lines open end your message with a question. This shows interest and if the question is intriguing enough they’ll be eager to reply.

7. No drunken texts!

Try not to send texts or email when you have been drinking. Most people have been guilty of the drunken text only to wake embarrassed and regretted it in the morning.

8. Don’t be over familiar.

Don’t be over familiar in the beginning. Don’t use loads of kisses to sign off or use love etc. Save these for when you are more comfortable with each or have gotten to know each other in real life. Being over familiar in the beginning can make you seem really insincere. Refer back to point number 2!

9. Check your spelling and grammar.

Even thought you are communicating virtually first impressions count. Check your spelling and grammar. Familise your self with email equiette. No using CAPITALS for example as this is considered shouting. Also don’t get bogged down with really long acronyms. They may not know what you are talking about.

10. Have fun.

Just like in real life Cyberflirtling is all about having fun. Don’t take your self too seriously and go with the flow to see where it leads you. Enjoy yourself.
