Most online dating follows a natural progression from profile searches, to email, to instant messaging and finally, meeting in person. If you’re lucky, a spark has already been struck that will continue to grow. That’s much more likely to happen if
you follow some of the most basic online dating advice: good instant messaging etiquette. The first and most important rule of online dating is this – keep your nude pictures to yourself. You never know where your amateur nudes will end up, and even if you’re proud of them, that’s something to keep track of! Girls, this means even those cleavage baring shots. They give the wrong impression to your potential date. Guys, we really don’t need to know what your penis looks like at this stage, nor do we need to see your chest. Not only does it do nothing to encourage most women to send our own revealing pictures, but it sends the message that you’ll be in a hurry to reveal those body parts in person, too. Of course, if you met on a site like onlinebootycall.com this rule probably goes out the window, along with your date’s panties.You must always have something to say if you want to keep your date interested. Good instant messaging etiquette means you don’t strike up a conversation unless you have something to say. You wouldn’t call a friend and hang on the line with 7 minutes of silence at a time. This is especially true if you’re trying meet someone online for a date. Good conversations have rhythm and flow, and hopefully, a point (getting to know him, letting her get to know you). Don’t try to carry 5 conversations at once, or entertain guests. And if you are pulled away, always apologize and say when you intend to get back to the other person.Convince your potential date that he or she isn’t chatting with a teenager by using real words. Use good grammar and lose the abbreviations. How you say things are as important as what you say. Capitalization and punctuation helps, too. Commonly used abbreviations like “brb” are fine in small doses, but if you can’t form complete sentences your date is more likely to see you as lazy than cool.
