How to Flirt with Women Online the Proper Way

In today's digital age where online communication has become a pre-requisite for every social human being to function, it's nearly impossible to avoid flirty encounters of the opposite sex online. While it's easier to do since the person isn't physically right in front of you, there are still some flirting etiquette basics that you need to keep in mind.

If you happen to run across a woman you're interested in on one of your social media circles or in an online dating forum, make sure to follow these tips for flirting with a lady online.

Greet her

Saying "Hey" or "You're cute" alone won't get you far. Greet her with a simple "Hi!" along with a joke referencing to something in her profile. By pointing out something on her profile, it shows that you paid enough attention and helps make for a playful and relaxed start of the conversation.

Use emoticons

Play with the emoticons available on your phone. Some of the most common emoticons you can use include a simple smiley face :), a wink ;), a kiss :-*, or a heart <3. Use appropriately and don't overdo it otherwise she'll wonder if you're genuinely interested in her or you just like to play with your emoticon collection.

Respond timely

Don't keep her waiting and respond to her chats in a timely manner. It shows that you are enjoying the exchange between you two which will make you her more likely to keep chatting with you. If you have to go, promptly say good bye along with the indication that you want to speak with her again soon. It can be a simple "I have to go. Talk to you soon!" or "I'm leaving in a minute, speak soon?"

Get a little personal

If you're chatting with her through a social media platform like Facebook or Snapchat, take the time to scroll through her feed to see what she's interested in. The beauty of flirting online is that you can do a little bit of snooping before striking up a conversation. Try not to overdo it with the research as it might make her feel uncomfortable if you know too much.

Widen your conversation beyond personal topics

You have the internet at your arsenal. Why not go a little deeper and engage her in topics that concern world affairs? You can talk about a political issue, a brand new gadget, celebrity gossip, or another creative way to cook baked macaroni brought to you by Buzzfeed. You can do this once you've established enough rapport with her.

Be yourself

Don't obsess too much about making yourself look good in an effort to impress her. Making a genuine connection with someone online requires some tact and a pinch of self-deprecating humor. Write to her the same way you would speak to a woman you're flirting with in real life. Don't just keep talking about yourself and show interest in what she has to say.

Ask her out on a date

The longer you chat with her online, the better your chances at sealing a date with her. Invite her to take the conversation to a more personal level by suggesting a time and place where you can get together. If she says no to your invitation, don't worry. You can ask her some other time or move on to another prospect. Another great thing about online chatting is that rejection doesn't hurt as much.
