Defo something I need to work on. Years of being logical in the work environment has rusted up my social banter / fun side. The confidence comes and goes at the moment.
I agree you need to access that personality inside you and bring it out. It's got to be original or they smell it a mile off as fake and it doesn't work, even if it worked like a charm for somebody else. This seems to be the same online as for real life. Maybe online you can get away with it for a very short time but you get found out pretty quickly.
The best thing about online is you get the chance to practice it over and over in a relatively 'safe' way. I used to do this on the singles live chatrooms years ago and got quite good at getting them hooked. There was a lot of nutters on there though and they'd never meet you in real life.
