Hi

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to be flirty over MSN or through Text messages. Is there a difference between the two ? How should I give hints without being totally outright?

All advice appreciated

send a picture of yourself naked - not subtle but effective. :p:

Dear lord - I've experienced so much of this.
There's a lot you could do, really. Just don't use anything like sarcasm, cos that's not only unattractive, but it also doesn't come across on msn or txts.
I can't really give much advice, since what i do is usually very different day to day.
Recently, however, someone approached me with this over msn:

(17:37) latisha: bless you!
(17:38) latisha: um,do u really have a enoromous penis?

Which was hilerious, but a very bad thing to ask flirt-wise. Avoid saying things like this.

...Wow - I was really unhelpful. Umm... Be natural? There's my advice. :biggrin:

WTF is this serious? Personally I hate it when girls flirt on msn, it's so cheap and tacky. If you want to 'flirt' just be keep mentioning that the guy is sexy e.g. "well we're not all as sexy as you" and then use about 50 :P 's. Personally, I hate it and it's just so cheesy.
it should come naturally. just be yourself!
although i can't flirt for jack anyway so i dont even know why i'm giving you my half-penny's worth. lol.
I swear its not that hard, actually I find it harder to stop myself from flirting than trying to...

Just hint things subtly, and use :wink: a lot, as well as :p: Be natural and it'll just come to you.... also helpful when the other person flirts back....

I wouldn't bother trying to flirt electronically as you'll probably just sound needy. MSN sucks for any kind of romantic relationships IMO.
use excessive emoticons like :tongue: or xxx or hearts and all should be fine.

Reviewing yoda's texts, he can conclude that by excessive use of !, using orgy as a metaphor, stupid questions no-one wants to answer, coming across as overly desperate, offering yoda alcohol, "yay!", over using "honey", stupid comments and ending every text with 3 or 4 "x"s may be classed as flirting.

Yoda shall now hope you are female, else you may make a fool of yourself. Post replies here please.
Just take the piss in a funny way - works like a charm (am assuming you're a guy trying to flirt with a gal here).

eg.

Them: "I was a bit worried about how little I said in the seminar today, I don't want Dr. Doodah to think I'm dim..."

You: "Yeah, I was a bit worried about your performance too actually, I didn't wanna say anything... But don't worry... I doubt Dr. Doodah had massively high hopes in the first place! :tongue:"

OR

Them: "Wanna meet up in town later?"

You: "Yeah sure, one condition though, you don't wear that RIDICULOUS hat/jumper/pair of sunglasses (delete as appropriate) I saw you in earlier. Or if you do, keep a few yards ahead of me in case anyone sees us... deal? :wink:"

OR

Them: "What time is such and such happening again? And what's the dress code?"

You: "Do I look like I'm your secretary? No seriously, I have enough trouble remembering what's going on in my life! Ok, it's at 7.30, but if these questions become a regular occurance I'm gonna start charging..." :tongue:
Lol!

It's all about innuendo, but unless you very bored, rather pathetic..
