The first three seconds
- Be visible: face lit from the front, camera at eye level
- Be present: look at the camera, smile, say hi
- Be dressed and in a normal setting
Openers that work
- 'Hi! Where are you chatting from tonight?'
- A light comment on something visible, such as a poster or a guitar
- 'First time on here, or a regular?'
- Something small about your own day
Keep it going
- Ask open questions (what, how, why) instead of yes/no
- Follow up on what she says instead of jumping topics
- Share a bit about yourself too
- Humour helps; sarcasm on a first chat often does not land
What gets you skipped
- Starting with a compliment about her body
- Asking for social media right away
- Pressure to do anything on camera
- Silence, a dark screen or a face half out of frame
Respect a skip
Being skipped is normal on random chat and rarely personal. Move on; the next conversation starts fresh.
Frequently asked questions
What should I say first on video chat?
A friendly hello and a simple question, such as where she is chatting from.
How do I avoid awkward silences?
Ask open questions and follow up on her answers. Having two or three topics in mind helps.
Is it OK to flirt?
Yes, if it is mutual and respectful. Read her reactions and never pressure.
