How to Keep Her Attention Online

Online dating is the new frontier of dating, and with that, also comes new challenges. When you are dating online there is often more competition because the pool is bigger. You can’t guarantee that someone will interpret something the way you’ve intended. There is a good possibility that they can just become bored. Luckily, we can give you some tips on how to keep her attention online.

Use Humor

Humor is one of the best ways to keep her attention. If you can make her laugh, then you are already winning. Humor is a way of showing that you have a good personality and you don’t take yourself too seriously.

Use Emojis/Emoticons

Emojis and emoticons are a good way to lighten up the conversation. If she said something funny instead of saying “haha”, send an emoji to get the point across. Don’t overuse them, as they are just an easy way to make a conversation more interesting and expressive.

Tell a Story

Storytelling is a great strategy for flirting. We all know someone who can easily captivate a group of people simply by telling a story about something as general as their day. It’s not only about the topic, but more so in the way you tell it. If you want to impress her, keep her interested by using storytelling. She will be captivated and want you to keep talking to her.

Be Mysterious

Don’t tell her everything up front. Keep yourself a mystery, leave it to the imagination and let her wonder about you. This is one of the best ways to keep her attention online. It’s pretty simple; don’t be too eager, but make sure that you are the one who makes the first moves.

Ask Her About Herself

People love to talk about themselves. If you want to keep her attention, make sure you focus conversations on her.  Ask her questions and be the lead in the conversation. You should do 80% of the question asking. For a woman, there is nothing worse than a man who only likes to talk about himself.

Know When to Stop

This goes back to being mysterious. You don’t want to seem too eager about talking to her. Sometimes the best thing to do is to say goodbye and tell her that you are going to talk to her later. She will think about you and start to wonder if you are interested in her, further creating her interest in you.

Talk About Things That Matter

When you start to talk about things that matter to her, this will not only grasp her attention, but keep it. Talk about family or maybe a controversial topic that she’s interested in. You don’t want to say anything that will offend her, but this is also a good way to see if you are a good match. Either way, having a conversation like this is sure to keep her interested.

Be Playful

If you can be playful with her and she can be playful with you, this means that she is comfortable. Getting her comfortable is the best way to keep her attention online. When she feels like she can be silly with you, it’s a good sign she is interested in seeing the potential you can have.
