Flirting by Phone and Online Chat

Chat-up lines that sound cheesy and corny in person can be cute or funny interspersed with emoticons if you text them. The text message can be used even if that significant someone is sitting across the table at a group dinner, or if you’re both at the same party in different corners.

For example, if in your first meeting, you received all the flirting body signs from a girl (smiling, hair touching, eye contact, head tilting), you might text her later with ‘I used to be a terrible flirt :p. I’m much better now. What about you?’

Or on your second meeting, if she’s looking really hot and you know all the guys are noticing her at a club, you might immediately text her ‘U know, u might be asked to leave soon J UR making the other girls look really bad J’

The trick is to keep it light with fun flirty banter going back and forth, to enhance the connection you have just made. For example, once you’re home, you could text her ‘We’ve got a situation. I can’t stop thinking about you.’  Or for the indirect approach, send a blank text. When he or she messages back, saying that they got a blank text, text back ‘Strange. My phone must have been missing you.’

Important Text Flirting Tips

• Make sure you send the text to the right person or your mum might end up reading about what you and your boyfriend did last night.
• Some people like to send long texts and others just go ‘OK’. That kills the conversation and can be really frustrating, but understand that people communicate differently even though they may have the same feelings.
• Sometimes girls flirt just for fun and might not even like the guy, but most guys flirt looking to get somewhere. So make sure you don’t get your wires crossed.

When does explicit texting work?

Sending explicit, suggestive or insinuating text messages which are usually about sex or sexual acts works only when 2 adults who are both okay with it are in a respectful relationship.

If that’s the way you want to go, remember that your boyfriend or girlfriend today could be your ex a few months down the line. So avoid sending explicit photos or emails, especially from your work computer or phone. Delete all the uber sexy texts or photos coming to you, so that you don’t get into an embarrassing situation at work or while out with friends.
