How to Tell if a Boy Likes You on The Internet

The Internet has added a whole new dimension to the world of dating and flirting. It used to be you had either face-to-face contact or phone contact with someone as a medium for interpreting behavior. Now you have the written word in the forms of emails and instant messages, along with computer cameras that capture a person’s image--even if it is pixilated or in slow motion. So how can you tell if a boy likes you on the Internet? There are some easy giveaways.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. He sends you IM messages throughout the day, trying to get your attention. He’s using the Internet to communicate with you and may feel safer this way approaching you instead of directly approaching you in person.

2. He does an Internet search for you and you get an email notice he is looking for you. Often, companies that perform searches on people over the Internet will alert you that someone has searched for your name. If you had a suspicion that someone liked you and get a notice like this, consider it a good sign they are returning your attention.

3. He actually contacts you and asks you many personal questions, trying to get to know you more than just casually. Guys have clear ways of making their interest known. If you get lots of inquiries, consider it a yes. The guy is very interested in you.

4. He visits your personal page on places like MySpace.com, Reunion.com and Facebook.com. It's a great way to get your virtual "bulletin board" out there and allow people to contact you in a casual way. If a guy starts inviting you to be his "friend" through the popular friend request features, consider it the first steps of flirting. Depending on whether or not you like him, contact him back and get the ball rolling.

Tips & Warnings

• Flirting is a great way to see if you’re compatible before you actually go out. Allow yourself to enjoy the attention and see if he’s the type of guy you want to date.
• Sometimes things are not what they appear. Many times older men try to pretend they are young boys and lure people to meet them. Never meet up with someone unattended or without telling an adult where you will be. Always meet up in a public place and leave the contact information of the person you are meeting with an adult or trusted friend before you go.
• Never post something on a public site like myspace.com that you wouldn't want anyone you know to read!
