If you’ve spent any time on this blog you know that I don’t believe women should make the first move with men. See Should You Approach a Man First.

That means not approaching the cute guy at the coffee shop or pub and not calling the friend of a friend you met at Friday night’s party.

I believe in being friendly, open, and approachable and most importantly giving eye contact and smiling which tells a man you’d like HIM to come and get you.

But in the world of online dating, I believe it’s necessary and appropriate to bend these rules. Because through a computer you cannot give a man your radiant smile and eye contact which tells him you’d like him to come forth. If done correctly, you can make the first move via computer and not be regarded at the pursuer.
