    Ok, I’m not an expert on online game. I honestly don’t like it that much, but for the past week I thought I would give it a shot from every possible angel and see how it went. For me, it’s much more difficult than in-person. But I have learned a few things, and I would like to share one of them. This also applies to phone game, leaving messages, …etc.

    When you’re talking to a girl online, keep whatever you say as short as possible. Think twitter. That doesn’t mean abbreviate, but think about what you want to say, then shorten it as much as humanly possible, that includes emails, IM’s, …etc.

    The thing about online is, you can say a lot without actually have said a lot. You could write something that would take you 15 seconds to say in-person, but online it looks so long it becomes annoying for her to read. You don’t want to do that.

    As an example, I think if your email or message was as long as this post, you’ve lost her. I think you can honestly, confidently say that unless she’s already attracted to you … or unless SHE writes long emails/messages to you and yours are long, but somehow shorter than hers.

    I'm not expert, but I have done the online thing a bit hear and there.

    I found it has less to do with the length of the messages than the strength of your rapport. Giving short two word replies to a girl who is really into you can be just as devastating as giving paragraphs to a girl you just met online.

    just my 2 cents

    From the copywriting perspective - keep it as long as you have something of value to say. Also make your titles stand out!

    Best way to learn how guys typically act is to make fake female profile and surf around. Results are enlighting!

    The length really depends on level where you are at - when you start, you shoot short and funny. If all goes well and connection is established, you can go into longer talks and build trust, do short story telling, etc.

    Since I'm no native English speaker, it gives me time to dig up something funny or compose a better massage than say if I need to talk face to face. Also
