Personal safety and security guidelines: Don’t give out personal information such as your real name, your location or phone number to anyone except to those who will make you happy if they come knocking on your door, turn the webcam off when you are not active in chat or are leaving the computer for a while to avoid getting caught with your pants down as soon as you have forgotten it is still broadcasting live to the rest of the world, and if showing of your naked body is actually what turns you on, you may consider it a good idea to cover your face or keep it out of the image frame or you may be more famous the next day than you ever wanted - or you can just let anything go and have a good time :-)
Fantasies, online relationships and virtual girlfriends: Spending time on a webcam chat involves a lot of flirting and dating and may change your single status to a happy relationship or just the other way around, so you should be advised that living the life of a single person, may make you one very quickly - multitasking love and lovers is hot and fun but doesn't last for long if they find out, so cheat as you like, but don't get caught!
Webcam-chat rules: There are rules to be followed for everything in life, also in cyberspace and when taking part in online communities. The rules that apply on the Internet is often referred to as netiquette, and the term chatiquette is a variation of it that describes basic rules of online communication. When you are on a webcam-chat you must of course broadcast your video, turn your webcam on immediately after entering the chat and show your face or full body on your webcam all the time or be called a lurker for the rest of your life, do not talk bad of others, compare or rank by appearance, accept "no" as an answer, do not nag after been rejected, take an active part in the conversation and interact with others, accept things as they are, don't question rules or admins, leave the administration to those with an admin role and remember that everyone is responsible for their own actions. Are you a good and polite boy or a really bad girl, are you a woman looking for a timewaste in your coffee break or a man hungry for even more? There exists a video chat out there for every need and with its own rules to break, that's the beauty of it!

How to get lucky, that's what it's all about: To chat up a girl is a popular expression and means to talk in a playful or flirtatiously way to her, like to hit on a couple of girls with intentions to form a relationship with them. In a chat-room the boys with the wit, charm and quick fingers are the ones who get the girls. The pick-up line, which is the most important of all, is a conversation opener or ice-breaker with the intent of engaging a stranger for romance and dating when meeting for the first time, and the way to win a girl's heart is to make her smile over and over again so she forget all her worries, the place and the time, her friends and of course her steady boyfriend as well.
Chat-parties: A chat often acts like an online dating service or speed dating, and while traditional text chats worked like blind dating, webcam-chats follow the WYSIWYG-principle, and what you may actually get you will find out if you are interested in joining one of the many IRL-meetings and chat-parties hosted around the world for users of webcam-chats who want to take part and participate in the fun.
Chat addiction: Chat-rooms have become a virtual hangout for teens where friends and strangers come together, share thoughts, become lovers and break up again. Things happen very fast, you follow many people in their lives and get involved, and every time you are about to log off, someone new logs in, it will always be some kind of excitement going on making it hard or even impossible to say good bye and close the chat-room door, and even when it's not, you expect it will as soon as you have left, therefor you stay, afraid of missing out on something - it is pretty much like an ongoing soap opera where stories run concurrently, intersect and lead into further developments in serial format. When the days, weeks and months pass without regular meals, without leaving the apartment and without keeping yourself clean and you got angy for even the smallest interruption and sit up all night looking at other girls while your girlfriend is sleeping in your bed in the room next door, then you have all the signs of chat addiction. It is only one way to recover from it; get rid of the computer for good and forget that all your online chat friends ever existed.
