Imagine you at your favorite bar or coffee shop, just enjoying some chill time. When suddenly, you spot a cutie out of nowhere. You don’t want to come off too thirsty but, you also want to let them know, you’re digging them. So, instead of exchanging numbers, you follow each other on Instagram. That’s the same thing nowadays. After scrolling through their timeline and liking what you see, you decide to shoot your shot. Except, you don’t know what to say. Here are 10 DM’s you can send to get that conversation started.
1. “Hey!” (You can never go wrong with this simple message.)

2. “Who sings that song? I’ve been trying to find out for forever!” (For when they share a song without posting the song title or artist.)

3. “You were so cute!” (For when they post a #TBT. Extra brownie points if it’s a childhood pic.)

4. “How come we’ve never met before?” (If you all share mutual followers.)

5. “You look beautiful/handsome!” (When they post a recent pic.)

6. Randomly send a hilarious GIF or meme without saying anything. Hopefully, they’ll catch on.

7. “Hey, there’s this event going on in my neighborhood. Would you like to meet up and hang out?” (When there’s an event going on that you know you both will be interested in.)

8. “What are you doing at this very moment?” (Chances are nothing, and you’ll be saving them from a dull day.)

9. “Have you been working out? Because you’ve been running through my mind all day?” (If they can appreciate a cheesy pickup line, knowing you’re just trying to put a smile on their face, they’ll text back. Or maybe not. It was worth a shot.)

10. “Hi, I’m _____, and I think you’re handsome/gorgeous. Wanna go out sometime?” (Casually introducing yourself, as well as, complimenting them, will show them how chill you can be.)
