The Art of Cyberflirting
Posted on March 24, 2007 | Filed Under Internet Dating, Communication
If you spend a bit of time online chatting with and meeting potential new partners you really want to understand the art of cyberflirting. It’s one thing to chat away online with friends but when chatting with a stranger who you may want to become friends with or maybe even date at some stage you need to get in touch with the art of cyberflirting or you might just blow your chances of ever getting that first date before you even meet.
The art of cyberflirting comes down to quality communication skills in a similar way it would if you were on a real date face to face. If you are not an internet chat veteran you may find that cyberchatting or cyberflirting can be a bit of a challenge. There are a few simple tips you can use to help you master the art of cyberflirting and give yourself a better chance of sending the right message instead of the wrong one.
The first and probably the most important aspect of the art of cyberflirting is getting your timing right. Since you are in the safety and comfort zone of not having to come up with an immediate response like you would if you were on a real date and your date was staring at you waiting for your response, cyberflirting allows you some time to think when the person you are eflirting with asks you a question. If you are in a cyber conversation it’s best to wait a moment before responding without leaving it so long that your cyber friend jumps offline. Or you could vary your response time to keep them guessing and this way you will probably keep their interest in the cyberchat longer.
While chatting online many people use symbols to abbreviate what they would normally just write in full if they were writing a letter and to allow them to type responses faster. This is ok but if you are looking to master the art of cyberflirting and considering that this cyberflirt might lead to a meeting in the real world it’s best to minimize the abbreviations and symbols and let your cyber friend know that you are not simple and have at least a basic understanding of English grammar. The same thing goes for mild profanity, although it may seem cool to you it might not seem that way to them and this might kill any chance of a real date materializing.
You will become proficient at the art of cyberflirting the more you do it but there is never a time when you should be directly rude while chatting. It’s much better to show some class than be hurtful or nasty if the person you are cyberflirting with is just not your cup of tea. If you are being inundated with questions just give a basic short response without leading them into continuing the chat. You can do the opposite if you like the person you are chatting with by allowing the cyberflirt to persist by continuing to ask questions at the end of each of your responses.
Mastering the art of cyberflirting is just one method of building a solid rapport with someone before you actually meet in person if it gets to that stage. Cyberflirting in any case is fun, harmless and safe and allows you and your cyberflirting partner the freedom to express yourself without the initial pressures of a date.
