FLIRTING TAKES TWO
A reply does not automatically mean interest
Look for active participation: questions, jokes, compliments and topics coming from both sides.
WHEN FLIRTING GOES BOTH WAYS
Look at the overall reciprocity
One friendly reply does not necessarily mean mutual attraction. Look instead for a pattern where both people actively contribute and show interest over several messages.
- Questions and follow-ups come from both sides.
- Humour and compliments are welcomed and sometimes returned.
- Both people introduce new topics.
- A slower pace is accepted without pressure.
RESPECT THE PACE
A no or uncertainty should be respected
Do not try to persuade someone to share information, personal content or agree to a meeting.
PERSONAL STAYS PERSONAL
Chemistry does not require sensitive information to be shared
Passwords and bank details should remain private.
WHEN IT IS NO LONGER FLIRTING
Pressure, money requests and threats are reasons to stop
Use blocking or reporting tools if a conversation becomes threatening or coercive.
MEETING OFFLINE
A first date should leave both people free
Choose a public place and arrange transport independently.
