Flirting 2.0 -- How to Make Your Move in the Digital Age

by Dan Reilly on February 27, 2009 at 03:34 PM

Human contact is becoming more and more obsolete as technology improves, so it's no surprise that flirting is becoming just as impersonal. Whether you think that's good or bad, we recommend you check out The Frisky's take on Flirting 2.0.

Have you ever dated anyone you met online?

The guide shows how you can start with a Facebook poke to let that special person know you're interested and progress through steps of technological communication to meeting in person. So, please keep in mind that reblogging something on Tumblr might give people the wrong idea about your intentions.

While it's a funny and informative read, please note what the authors say at the end. Sure, it can be good to lay some groundwork online but don't use it as a crutch -- you might end up like that 'Second Life' couple that was in the news. That one still makes us shudder. [From: The Frisky]
