Do you like to flirt? Like to have spicy little chats with new people? Enjoy meeting people from all walks of life? Then this job is perfect for you...LOL sounds like a fun job! or a Really bad latenight commercial.

After being the moderator in many differ types of chat-rooms. I have learned a little about chatting online. I have found the following mixture woks well for me and for the people I chat with. Some of these apply to a chat-room scenario but can be applied elsewhere.

- Be safe, keep in mind that the person you are chatting with does not know anything about you and more importantly you know nothing about them. Keep your anti-virus up to date, there are people that will try to access your computer.
- Be wild, take a chance.
- If anyone starts using abusive language, or making you feel uncomfortable end the conversation and block them.
- Check the rules of the chat room, make sure you can flirt there. If the moderator ask you a question - try to answer quickly.
- If you are in a chat try not to get into a yelling match over a guy/girl, if you do be careful that you do not get banned.
- Relax and get to know the person you are chatting with. NO I don't mean personally. Find out what kind of language they are comfortable with. I use alot of computer short cuts but I have noticed not everyone understands brb (be right back) or ic (i see). Some people like to cuse, while others prefer not. After chatting just a few minutes you should figure them out.
-Don't be dedicated to one person; have fun; and more importantly if the person starts degrading you or asking to many question feel free to end the conversation.
- Keep it light and fun.
- Make silly jokes and plays on words, (what a guy like you doing on a computer like mine).
- Compliment the person (yes.. guys like compliments too)
- Use very descriptive words, describe every detail you can without being to long winded.
- I use spelled out actions and sounds to give me personality.-OHH!MY! [blushing]
- Don't go into details about your issues, problems or personal matters.
- Be somewhat honest, if you are not comfortable then tell them so.
- :) smile lots, stick out your tongue :P , and even kiss their cheek (K).
- Pretend...nothing wrong with playing. (Moreover I want to share the couch) or (Lets go for a walk, get out of this crowded chat room)
- Without repeating myself to much- relax, have fun, and stay safe. Enjoy yourself.

I have more but I think I will leave it at this for now, since my rules go beyond flirting.

Have fun, enjoy and always stay safe. :) ;) ttfn
