How to message a guy on Instagram?

[Anonymous]

Alright so I like this guy and we follow eachother on Instagram but I don't know how to go about messaging him or what to say? So guys what would you like a girl to say to you if she messaged you online? And girl if you've ever messaged a guy online, what did you say?

I don't like be messaged/approached by girls but if this has to happen, I would prefer something neutral and ordinary such as "Oh! Your pose in that photo is really cool!" or "What a beautiful background! Where this photo is taken?" If you impressed him this is more than enough to make him proceed.

Well if your going to message a guy on instagram, just to let you know, don't be so boring lol. Talk about things he likes to talk about. Or same interest, something to grab his attention. or even let him talk about him self, get to know him more.

I've only seen this kid around a few times, but we've never talked so I don't want to seem weird or desparate or anything so what do I even say?

Well then justsay hey in a nice way. and ask him how he is doing? if u really don't know him that well.
