Hi all,
When messaging someone on Instagram for the first time if you are interested in them, would it be offputting if it was a little bit flirty? I don't want to come off like those creepy guys or just another random guy who slides into a girls DMs. I actually want to stand out.
There is a bit of background here. So I matched with a girl on a dating app back in December, and we added each other on Instagram and started texting. But it's kind of died down, and we never ended up seeing each other in person. But we still follow each other on Instagram. Towards the end of July, she posted a story with one of her friends who I thought was super cute. She tagged her friend in that post, so I went into her profile and requested to follow her. She accepted my follow request on Friday, and requested to follow me back immediately. I accepted her follow request on Sunday. So I want to message her now because I don't want to wait too long. We both live in the same city, but I know from the few stories she posted ever since I started following her that she's currently visiting her home country of Morocco.
So I wanted to DM her something like ", I saw from your stories that you're visiting Morocco. Wow, it looks almost as gorgeous as you are 😉☺️. Which part of Morocco are you in?"
Does the "almost as gorgeous as you are "part come off as too forward or cringe? Should I remove it and just ask about Morocco, or reword it?
I'm not the kind of guy who usually slides into a girls DM's, this is actually my first time. So would appreciate any input from the ladies on here so that I don't come across disrespectful or creepy.
Thank you
