Chatting 101: How to find someone special online
by Colleen Butler, special to BBWNorthwest.com

Before embarking on your chat adventure, you should familiarize yourself with the concept of chat. Chat is quite different from email: it takes place in real-time. Once you type a message, everyone in the chat session views your words almost instantly. Chatting in real-time enhances the chat experience by creating a conversational atmosphere.

Just click on the chat link to get started. When choosing your ID, use anonymity to your benefit and select a name that reflects your personality.

For safety purposes, never reveal your real name, location, or telephone number.

There are two types of chat: group and private. BBW Northwest hosts a group chat, in which various discussions take place at the same time. Private chats are virtual rooms created by users who wish to host their chats in a more intimate setting. Both are public forums.

To create a comfortable environment and enhance your chatting experience, familiarize yourself with chat guidelines, etiquette, or tips.

Before you begin to chat, take a moment to view the conversations and get a feel for the atmosphere in the room. Introduce yourself and greet everyone in the room. A simple "Hello, everyone" is a great way to start followed by your name, age, and location. Your response might be, "My name is Jim, I'm 38, and live in Seattle." Join in and have fun!
