Facebook Flirting: Why Do It and What To Do

Why Facebook Flirting?
Quite simply, Facebook flirting done right can quickly lead to face to face interaction. Besides being free and fun, Facebook allows you to be more casual and more indirect. With Facebook, you have less commitment than a phone call and more time to think before you speak. The best part is, asking for her Facebook is literally as easy as asking for her name.

Still don't believe in the benefits of Facebook? For their annual sex survey, Shape and Men's Fitness Magazine polled 1,200 voluntary readers about the effect technology has had on their love lives. Of course, Facebook was one of the main topics of discussion. Here are some of the results:

- Almost 60% of guys say that Facebook flirting has helped them sleep with girls sooner.
- Almost 40% of girls say they have slept sooner with a guy because of internet intimacy
- Almost 50% of girls say they have been asked out through a Facebook message
- Almost 80% of Facebook users say that they will not "un-friend" a Friend on Facebook
- Almost 80% of Facebook users admit to checking a former ex's Facebook page constantly

What To Do When Facebook Flirting?
Now that you know why you should flirt on Facebook, here's what to do:

Profile:
Set up your Profile in a way where it demonstrates value. Your Profile information and Profile pictures must show you doing something exciting, interesting or inspirational. If she doesn't know you too well and can only get to know you through your Profile, you want your Profile to go to work for you. Your Profile is your automated wingman. After going through your Profile, she should already want to hang out with you before you even ask. First impressions count: Facebook is no different.

Wall:
Post on your Wall regularly, and when you do post on your Wall regularly, you should never post anything that is self degrading or self destructive. Every post must be positive. Remember, if the girls on your Friends list are constantly reading negative posts from you, "un-friending" you is just a click away.

Post on her wall casually. When you post on her Wall, your posts should be short and simple. Anything longer than two sentences is too much. Your posts should also be aimed at teasing her. Tease her about her Pictures or anything tease-worthy on her Wall. Keep in mind that to Post casually, you cannot Post all the time. Posting all the time is desperate, not casual..

Chat and Messages:
Use Chat and Messages for privacy. As they relate to Facebook flirting, Chat and Messages are your golden ticket to get her phone number. You should not ask for her phone number on Facebook any other way.

Poke:
Do not use Pokes. Online as well as offline, if you constantly Poke a girl, do you think she would consider that attractive or unattractive? The only girl you can probably Poke on Facebook is your mom (if she has Facebook).
