- Start off by saying hey and asking how they are doing. Don`t bombard them with loads of questions because they might find you to be a tad bit too pushy or they might realize that you have planned this facebook chat, which would be super embarrassing for you.
-Make sure to use emoticons when you are chatting with them for the first time. It`s sad to say but everything seems to get lost in translation without a smiley face or LOL. You want them to know you are easy going and are open to great chatting conversations.
-Don`t ask them out right away. By doing this, you are telling the other person that you are too cowardly to ask them out in person. Although people live by their text messages and facebook chats, they still want to be asked out face to face. You don`t want to seem desperate and pathetic. So keep the conversation light and make sure to follow up every few days or so.
-Just be yourself. Make sure not use too many LOL`s or LMAO`s. Not everything is funny. Ask engaging questions people wouldn`t generally ask online. By doing so, you are standing out from the crowd.
