Before internet became very popular, you have to physically woo and court a girl to go out with you. However, since smartphones and social media became widely adopted, it is now more common to meet a girl you like online and as her out.
To “toast” a girl is Nigeria slang for wooing her, and the fact that the internet is global means that its now easier than ever for Nigerians to do all kinds of things which was limited to the country before on a global scale. Including toasting girls from all parts of Nigeria and the world.
Since the internet is not the way our fathers and grandfathers met their women, we must then adapt some of what works for them into the new age. The platform doesn’t matter, as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram or any other social media is just a medium to talk to another person. You just need to modify what our forefather’s used
Here is how you can create chemistry with girls you meet online, toast them and take the relationship to the next level
Step by step guide to toasting a girl online in Nigeria
- Patience: The key that getting the woman of your dream is still patience, as it was in the days past. You do not want to appear needy or too thirsty.
- Do your homework: You probably have done this already, which is why you like her and want to get to know her more. But you’ve probably done this on a subconscious level. Now is the time to pay attention to her so you can know the basics about her like her favourite colour, songs and movies. These will allow you identify your common interests.
- Talk a lot about common interests: After your homework, start engaging her posts on interests that you both share. This could be anything, from as simple as Wizkid vs Davido or as serious as cryptography.
- Do not make her your primary work: DO NOT stay on her timeline all the time to respond to her posts. Go about your day normally and set a time when you check her posts and respond. One day, when she posts something she’s passionate about, ask that you share your thoughts about the issue directly instead of publicly. She will give you permission to message her directly, either on the app or via other services like WhatsApp and Telegram.
- Send her things that you know she will like: Now that you have established rapport, hone it by sending her things you find interesting that you know will excite her. A new song, movie, news, meme, or food. Make her smile, laugh, curious, and you can even tease her a bit.
- Ask for her advice on something personal: After a while, start asking her for advice on things. It should start with small things like what gift to get a friend for their birthday but it should move on to more serious things like whether you should study a particular course or quit your job.
- Let her know you value her advice: Every human being wants to know they matter. Let her know that you rely on her advice. However, don’t take everything she says totally unless it makes 100% sense to you. So if she says you should get a pink tie for a friend, you can buy a blue one if that is his favourite colour. Just let her know why you are modifying her input.
- Compliment her (only her taste): Once or twice a week, compliment her taste. This may be in music, clothing or movies. Something light and fun. This will build her wanting to chat with you daily. Even if you compliment her beauty, let it reflect that you are more impressed by her taste than the innate beauty e.g. “The lipstick colour really brings out your beautiful eyes”.
How to toast a girl online
- Invite her to an event: This is where you meet her for the first time. It may be a birthday bash or wedding ceremony (the best!) of a friend or family. This will allow you physically establish rapport before taking the final step. This may be a challenge if you are far apart, but you can get really creative in finding virtual substitute for this via Zoom, Meet or other platforms for hosting events online.
- Ask her out: At this point, you can formally ask her out, though if you play step 1 to 9 right, you may not need to as you would already be close and have good rapport.
You can do step 2 to step 8 simultaneously and repeatedly. This will help you establish rapport enough for step 9, where you can then ask her out if you so desire. If distance is an issue, you can still do step 9 and 10 online, though it is much better to do this in person.
No matter what happens, even if you forget everything, always remember the number one rule: Patience.
