Getting to know her, internet dating 101

Okay, it happens. You're hanging out on your favorite social network and you find yourself attracted to one of your cyberspace "FRIENDS".  How do you tell them you're interested, without creeping them out?  Well, here are a few hints to make it easier to connect

Don't tell them that you've downloaded their profile photos.

Don't mention how hard it is to type using only one hand.

Never tell them that you know someone who knows someone who can arrange an "accident" to rid them of the dead weight anchor their significant other has become.

Don't try to convince them to run away for six or eight months to a tropical, sparsely populated island for the winter. You may have better luck by mentioning Tahiti, Jamaica or Fiji instead.

Don't email suggestive photos unless you can maintain plausible deniability and successfully claim that you have been hacked or pranked.     

Don't tell them that you are a master at using Photoshop if you are going to photoshop their significant other into compromising situations in order to cast some doubt on the farce of a relationship that is keeping you apart.

Don't show your ability to use the internet to track them down. Avoid displaying your prowess as a skip tracer.

Don't tell them that you Google them everyday.

Don't mention the conditions of your probation and parole.

Never use your own photo as a profile picture. Choose something disarming, or funny as your avatar. Never let the object of your affections see the real you.

Never show how dark and brooding you really are, use humor to disarm the object of your affections.

Establish a casual relationship with her...ummm their significant other, you are less likely to appear a threat if her husband trusts you.
