So just when Vancouver singles thought they had their “A” game perfected in the flirting arena, along comes “flirtexting” also known as “sexting”. Writing mere copy in either an email or a text message, and you’ll undoubtedly get deleted. Emoticons and symbols now set the tone for any type of correspondence – and that goes doubly when you’re in the dating scene. Racy “romantic” flirtexting is the freshest way to actually BE fresh. Things such as: ‘French’ (French kiss), ‘IWSN’ (I want sex now), ‘<3′ (heart), or ‘LOML’ (love of my life)…are what gets the dating game fast tracked and into technological second base.
Fox News recently reported that, according to Debra Goldstein and Olivia Baniuszewicz, authors of Flirtexting, text messaging is the most widely used mobile data service on the planet.
But as with any dating games, there are rules:
1. Timing is everything
While it can be tempting to respond right away, being overly eager can be a turn off. This is especially true for those just getting to know each other. Rein in your enthusiasm from time to time, using time as a tease in responding to certain text messages (TMs). This makes you appear laid back and easy-going. This increases the perception that you’re fun to hang out with, and more…
2. Texting has a curfew
Know that if you TM somebody after 10 pm, it’s considered a late-night booty call.
3. Don’t beat around the bush
TMs can be easily misunderstood. People like them for the fact they’re succinct and direct. You want to flirt, and with that hint. Just don’t be cryptic. These are supposed to be time-saving titillations.
4. Don’t drink and text
Getting drunk equals getting stupid. And while it can be funny, it’s not so sexy. So stick with sober messages.
5. Avoid breaking major news via text
Texting should not involve first professions of love, marriage proposals or the breaking of bad news.
6. Discretion is the best option
If you’re sexting more than one person, do not leave your phone out while on a date. Do not check your phone in front of a date. Turn off your phone if you find yourself having a ’sleepover’.
7. Proofread
Any TMs involving sexual encounters, especially those complemented by racy pictures, need to be double-checked. They should be sent to the intended receiver.

I hope you read and study these 7 rules thoroughly, there inevitably WILL be a test
