Are you flirt-fabulous when you tap away typing those online chat messages? And how about email?

With most of us unable to remember when we last picked up a pen to write an old-fashioned letter, email is the way forward.

But because so many people use emails for flirting and fun, your emails need to have the edge so he doesn't confuse it for spam.

The subject line of your email needs to make him look twice. "Hi" won't cut it. Why not pique his curiosity by referring to something you two talked about before, or an interesting question?

"Did you know hippo milk is pink?" a true fact by the way will not only make him look twice, but will also serve as a conversation point, one that he is unlikely to forget.

Keep your emails light, short and fun. Now is not the time to "entertain" him with an essay on how you would work to establish world peace or your thoughts on capitalism.

And finally, don't spam his inbox either. Remember there is a fine line between "bubbly babe" and "bunny boiler" in the minds of guys.

Throw him morsels of information, and chances are he would take the bait and you could expect to see his name in your inbox all the time.
