You are online and your partner begins his conversation with something like,
“Hey, you have a wonderful smile”, or
“I like your eyes”, or
“It’s a gorgeous photograph”.
You can immediately gauge that he or she is flirting with you. Although there is no tell-tale sign of flirting, it has almost become an вЂinnocent’ way of expressing your interest in a certain person.
As a result, every relationship begins with an element of flirting, more an effort in gauzing what the other person thinks. However, this kind of flirting is always healthy. But when flirting turns deceptive, you might as well run away from this kind of a person. Especially in case of online dating, be extremely careful about your partner and test the waters before they churn up turbulent tides.
Often the lines between вЂinnocent’ flirting and becoming explicitly sexual are blurred in online chat rooms. Since there is no actual contact between two people sitting on either ends of a remote computer, some people tend to take the liberty of saying indecent things. But online flirting is more of an art in arranging the words that you wish to say. As there is no way of deciphering body language, it is your keyboard that does the job of bringing out your true feelings through words. But if you are using a web cam to see each other, it might be possible for you to gauge signs of flirting more easily.
The scope of online flirting is always expanding and if you look carefully into what your partner has to say, you will gain an idea about whether he or she is flirting with you. Look for subtle clues in what he has typed into your messaging area, see if he is interested in knowing more about you, whether he is willing to share something about himself as well, whether he is being playful or intriguing, funny or overly flirtatious. See if your partner says something that arouses interest just before signing off. This would be a clear signal in knowing that he is definitely interested in talking to you. Above all look for compliments from your partner. These are definite signs of flirting and will help you to understand whether your partner is flirting or not.
However, there are some people out there who flirt with malicious intent. Their only goal might be to have some fun. So, they would start off with topics that are often embarrassing and awkward. It is always advisable to steer clear of such partners. Remember they are not here to find a genuine partner rather their only intention is to realize fantasies that they usually cannot live. So, if you do not let your guard down and be careful in dealing with your online partner, it will become easier for you to see whether he or she is flirting or not. And keep in mind, that flirting to a certain extent is good. It will make you feel good. So don’t turn away from it. Take it in the right spirit and have a wonderful chatting session with your partner. |
