How Do You Ask Someone For Their Social Media Account?

Question

DaveJord · Accepted Answer

Nope, first off I do not do social media, and when comes to a relationships I don't want them to access mine and I don't give a shit about getting theirs. People use it to look back at all you history and make unwarranted assumptions about you. They start to care if you like or comment on their posts, and then they take pictures and tag you in them... which isn't a big deal depending on where you are in the relationship... but I don't need a someone posting pictures of me with them on Facebook or Instagram were everyone can see them. Then I got to answer all the questions from my family and freinds about who that chick is, when they will get to meet her. And then when we break up, if we break up they all want to to know why.

No but if they willingly offered it to me then sure. I really do not want to know every sorted detail that going on in their life….

Simple- ask him or her if they use social media, and if so, can you add them.

That's it. Keep it simple, friendly, and not creepy. Most people will add you if they enjoy talking to you or want to get to know you better.

If it's someone you barely know, but want to get to know them, at least have the courtesy to chat with them first before adding them. I can't speak for others, but I NEVER add someone as a friend/follower if I don't know who you are and why you're adding me.

If they say no or they don't use social media (yes, there are people that hate or don't use social media), don't push them. Assume they're not interested and drop the subject.

Straight up. It’s less intimate than their number and if they give it to you you know at least they don’t think you’re a total creep and they might even kinda like you

I don't have a tactic for this but I'd probably ask directly  In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you could comment on my question.  #Reigner

I guess you just ask them. But I don't think that's a good idea anyway. It just sets up a passive-aggressive 2-way stalking situation. If you want to get to know someone, ask them out on a date.

Heolurt · Answer

I don't see a point in asking anyone that, mainly because I don't use social media, I guess the only one I have is Instagram but I'm rarely on it and I only post food pictures, I follow no one and I don't know if anyone follows me.

No. I tend to humiliate, and laugh, at such people.
