5.If you step into a chat room for the first time, don´t jump onto the scene at once. It´s better to have a look at what people are like, and which atmosphere is there. Compare a chat to a pub. You simply don´t rush in, jump onto a table and shout "Hey guys, here I am - now entertain me!" Maybe you even don´t like the people or atmosphere in that particular room. Then it´s best to simply switch to a diffenrent one. In any case, you should leave the room politely..

6.Don´t be afraid of typing errors. They happen to every chatter, simply because you have to be quite fast in a chat. Otherwise, you would probably miss half of the messages the other chatters type. They won´t take typing errors amiss, they often will do so for missed messages, if it happens too frequently. Maybe that you are not that fast in the beginning, but that will improve with time. Another advantage of typing errors: they often create laughters and liven things up.

7. You like to flirt? Well, it´s certainly fun ;-) But not for everybody. If somebody behaves dismissive, leave him or her alone instead of keeping at it. Some chatters are already annoyed by the simple question whether they were male or female. Act really carefully. When it really gets down to business (which may well happen in a chat), it´s better to go into a separee instead of staying in a public room. A single mistyped key could then lead to a very embarrasing situation ;-)

8. Chatting is fun, and a sense of humor is belonging to it. But everybody has a different sense of humor. What you may really like as funny might cause other chatters a stomache-ache, besides the fact that written often leaves a very different impression than spoken.
