Seriously...ok before i asked how do u get a guy intrested. Thats great if he's there in the room, catching his eye etc
but flirting online is tricky...with emails can have a day gap in the conversation as one of u has no time to go online one day.
Also do u start blabing or are the 1st two emails short and sweet with open question (like the dreaded small talk )
after emails are going well and growing longer, do u casually mention meeting up or giving a call or is that the guys job? How do u translate it to a date?

how do u apply flirting to online?

(p.s. while i was writing this i got a totally carrie brandshaw de-ja-vu lol like i was writing her colum or somthing hehe inner monologe strikes again)

Little hearts on silly messages and keep smilies handy as they let them know when your joking and having fun as for the timing thats different I talk to someone on and off just be sure you check often and ask them to keep in touch thats all I can think of....

I dont... online dating (and anything related to dating, such as flirting) is not something I do. I want whatever potential relationships I may have to be in the real world...

chatrooms work for flirting online, trust me I know, I've been and done it before, though it kind of got me into trouble with someone else so I try to avoid it now, but yes a chatroom works for that

You flirt online the same way you flirt in the real world. Just imagine that you're in the real world--say what you'd want to say, do what you'd want to do. Even nonverbal flirting can be handled by pretending to do actions, maybe putting *your actions in stars* or -putting them in dashes- or something like that.

Example:

heheh you're cute
-grins with a raised eyebrow-

And yeah, you can mention meeting up--it doesn't have to be the man's duty. Some guys like being the guy in the relationship, yeah, but it's also possible that the guy isn't sure whether or not he should ask you.

I dissagree with you partially just due to the fact that there isn't the same subtext. Theres no frame of reference so alot of online conversations have to watch out for questions,comments etc that can be taken in a postive or negative fashion (like sarcasm for instance could be taken as a put down).
