Communicating with a Crush on Video Chat

The rules of communication always center on what you wish to portray. Whether you are in a business meeting or hosting a naughty party online, the rules remain the same. If you cannot meet your audience at least halfway, you might as well return to the drawing board. However, having found a crush online, or elsewhere, we might be able to help with this type of communication.

It is likely that you have passed the flirty texting stage and are moving to more serious communication. If indeed you are still flirty-flirty, video chatting might be the way to go. Having secured a pretty young thing online, perhaps it is time to level up. Indeed you will need to level up if you begin to date hot Russian women and have to communicate.

With technological advances where they are today, chatting via video is the way to go. Like any other presentation as it were, one needs to prepare the scene and logistics beforehand. Here are a few guided steps to ensure you don’t fall flat on your face, engaging your crush.

Connectivity – Internet et al

Most people forget the essence of any communication is the towers. In this case, your internet connections need to be flawless for optimum communication. Checking if the internet works well before planning a video chat is crucial to reducing the chances of embarrassment. Imagine setting a date for online chatting for a week, then finding out your internet and phone bill wasn’t paid. It can be embarrassing, to say the least.

Setting the Scene

Imagine if this was a physical date; would you leave stuff lying around or clean up? If you were planning to host a gaming night, you most likely would still put away spinners on the floor. As you plan for online video chatting, perhaps you should clean any trash in the background. What the floor, kitchen sink (studio apartment), or coffee table is hosting may not be video call material. Clean up all messes in case you have to move the laptop to different areas for connectivity; food for thought. 

Prepare Thyself

• Grab a clean shirt and if a lady, try not to reveal too much cleavage from the outset. The best interviews are worn by dressing formally and respecting the self. This should be carried out in the same manner. Men should wear dress shirts and avoid wife beaters at all costs. It should count as something that you made the effort. Being too casual also means you could have cared less.
• How about having flowers around the table beside the laptop or phone? Pretend not to notice them till she mentions seeing them in your background. You can then act surprised that you forgot to pass them to her – over the phone. Whatever your expressions might be, the key is remembering to play it cool, while maintaining decorum regardless of being a virtual meeting.
• Remember the reason for this date and ultimately, why you are engaging this particular person. If you’ve been hoping for a long-term partner, it is unlikely you’ll start with lewdness. This contextualization needs to happen from the outset before you start a chat and possibly throughout. Presentation is everything and one small hiccup in appearance, speech, or mannerisms can easily ruin the perfect video call.

Bottom Line

Start your video call with sweet words and no expletives. Whether you’ve been sending each other naughty texts or not, a video call should bring everyone up to speed. It means we flirt half the time but there is some seriousness in me. Keep this in mind when you are considering leaving the space behind you unclean for a video call. Embarrassments happen when you least expect them.
