For example, if she posts a story about the new ramen place in your town, you might say, “Omg, you got into the new ramen spot? Was it as good as it looked?” If she posts about a concert she went to, you could DM her, “How do you know about this band! Nobody I know is into them. I loved their recent album. ” If she shares a bunch of photos about a night out with some mutual friends, you might say, “How do you know Jamie and DeAndre? Are you going to their party next week?”
If she posted a video with a song in it, you might DM her, “Hey! I really like that song in the video you took at that bar. Do you know the name of it?” If she posted a photo of a recent meal she had, you could say, “That burger looked sooo good. I need a new burger joint in my life. ” On an artsy photo she took, you might ask, “What filter did you use on that photo of the skyline? Your photos always look so good. Mine never come out that way haha. ” If she took of a photo of something related to her hobby, you could ask her, “You’re into knitting, right? I saw that sweater you made. I’ve always wanted to try it, but I’m not sure where to start. Any advice?”
“Did you go to St. Sebastian’s Middle School? You were a grade above me, right? Do you remember that mean lunch lady who used to yell when people asked for more food?” “Omg, you might be my soulmate. I thought I was the only one around obsessed with pet hedgehogs. I’ve always wanted one. Are they hard to take care of?” “I saw you mention in one of your videos that you play volleyball every week. I’ve been looking for a good co-ed league. You’re in Edmonton, right? Any recommendations?” “Hey, I saw you posting about board games. Are you a fan of Settlers of Catan? I just got into it but I’m awful. ”
“What did the ocean say to the beach?” When she responds with “What?” say, “Nothing, it just waved. ” Throw out the waving hand emoji and introduce yourself. “Did you hear that joke about the random guy sliding into DMs to try and strike up a conversation?” You could also just send her a super funny meme without context. That might be a good way to pique her interest!
“Hey I’m doing a survey on whether random people respond to DMs. Are you available? This is real cutting-edge research here. ” Send her dog emoji. Then, send her something like, “Bugsy! Get back her! Oh, sorry, my dog just got out of the yard. Anyways, what’s going on?” “I’m shy. If we’re going to have a conversation, you’re going to need to start. ”
“I love that dress you’re rocking in your last post. That’s a really cute look!” “I don’t know how many times you took that selfie before you picked the one you just posted, but you totally nailed it. ” “You’re so smart. You’ve got to join my friend group’s trivia team. We’d sweep the floor!” “That last selfie you took is lit. You really nailed that ‘Katy Perry meets 80s chic’ look. ”
“Sorry if this is super forward, but you seem super cool and I’d love to take you out for coffee some time. ” “I saw we matched on Bumble, so I figured I’d hit you up here. I’m loving all of your puppy posts—what’s your dog’s name? I’d love to grab a drink sometime if you’re interested!” “Hey, I’m just going to put this out there. You’re cute. I’m cute. Let’s go out sometime. If you aren’t interested, no worries!” “I’m going to kick myself if I just don’t say it, so I’m just going to say it. I’ve got a crush on you and we should hang out sometime. ”
“On a scale from 1 to 10, you’re a 9 and I’m the 1 you lack. ” “Are you a good cuddler? I’m starting a cuddling club, but so far I’ve only got one member. ” “Someone told me you like bad boys. Well, good news for you, I’m bad at everything. ” Throw in a little winy face emoji to let her know you’re being sarcastic.
“Hey, we should actually chat, like IRL. Here’s my number (insert number). Shoot me a text if you want to chat. ” This is best for a more laid-back, friendly vibe. “You know, I’d normally just keep chatting online but we’ve got some good energy. We should actually chat sometime. What’s your number?” This is a good middle ground if you want to hint that you’re romantically interested. “You seem cool. Would you be interested in grabbing some drinks sometime? I’m about to go out, but here’s my number (insert number) if you want to shoot me a text. ” This is a good straightforward approach if you want to ask her out at the same time.
