1. First is to have some fun! Be light-hearted, funny and entertaining. This will help make her eager to talk with you again. Remember part of the art of flirting is being playful.

2. Show confidence. Having a positive outlook on life and the future will always make your flirting more successful. You need to transmit the "feel good" factor.

Being optimistic in this way goes hand and hand with attracting girls, like bee’s and honey go together.

3. Compliment her, and do it often and sincerely.

Nothing opens a door like making her feel good about herself. She will want to spend more time with you and if she pays you a compliment say "thank you". Never cut your self down or down play her compliment.

4. You need to be a good listener and always listen, listen, listen. You need to pay attention to what she is really saying, do not read in-between the lines, but politely ask appropriate questions. Work at trying to get her to open up and talk about her self without being too pushy on subjects that are very personal, like her address, real name, etc. Give out a good vibe by being interested in what she has to say and she will pick up on it. When you show that you are really interested in her as a person, it will work wonders!

5. Never be rude to her. The art of successful flirting is NOT being sexually explicit in any way nor does it take offense if you get no response back,. If she isn’t interested, take the hint and move on to the next prospect. If you find you are getting a lot of rejections then don’t lose your confidence you just need to reconsider your approach.

6. After chatting you can also send an email. Doing this is like sending a ’thank you’ card for a gift received and is very important in the art of flirting online.

Remember, do not move to fast, just take it easy. Flirting is the first step to a successful relationship.

To help sum it up, Ether Barrymore has two encouraging quotes that can help with successful online dating; "The best time to make friends is before you need them"; and "Laughter is the shortest distance between two friends.".
