How do you flirt through an e-mail?

Wow, that's a hard one to explain. I know it can be done because I've done it at least twice in my life that I can think of. I'm trying to remember the sort of stuff that I said but all I can remember right now is the super obvious stuff. I remember one of the guys was complaining because it was his birthday and he didn't have a cake so I said something like, "Awwww poor baby. you want me to come bake you a cake?" The other one got sick for a few days and I did a similar thing offering to come nurse him back to health. But those types of things are situational. They rely on something like that coming up and him mentioning it to you. All I can suggest is to look for any opportunity to drop little hints or flirty comments. Not every email has them.

You can also look for an opportunity in your own life to drop hints to him. Like if you go out with some friends one night you can say what you did and how you had fun but it would have been nice if you'd had a date. Or you could mention a movie you want to see or a place you'd like to go but say how you don't want to go alone. That's not exactly "flirty" but it might get him to clue in that you like him or maybe even get him to ask you to go together. If your emails don't usually cover stuff like that you can totally steer it in that direction. This can also work as a way to drop a hint. Near the end of the week you could just ask him, "So do you have any fun plans for the weekend?" Then see what he says. Then he tells you about his plans, it's more natural for you to bring up what you're doing in your next email. And my suggestion is obviously to be busy sometimes but not all the time. So you are available but not like you are sitting home every night.

Flirting in an email is HARD, keep that in mind. Even when you find ways to do it, it is VERY hard to read what the other person's intentions really are. You can't read sarcasm, laughing, anger, flirtation, or any of the other countless emotions in an email usually. So if you find a way to do it and he seems receptive but not making a move, don't get discouraged. You may have to step it up. Like I said, I've done this at least twice in my life and both times it got REALLY obvious before anything happened. And I'm also pretty sure that both times the guy was still not completely sure I was into him!

Well, if you are interested, then you should give clues, flirt a little and see how he responds. But if he does find interest in you (like, asks to hang out and stuff), go and see him personally and call him every so often. I had an e-mail/IM "relationship" with this guy, and just ended really badly. Just show interest and flirt. If he doesn't respond back the same way, then he's probably not into you. Or you could just come out and say it (but don't be too foward) once you've gotten to know him a little bit more. I hope this helped!
