How to approach a guy on Instagram?

[Anonymous]

I don't personally know him, we don't live anywhere near, but I can't stop checking out his IG page. He seems like a great guy, a bit nerdy, but also really funny, to me at least. I don't usually follow guys on IG, I just post girly stuff and selfies lol so I'm clueless right now. How do I do this without reeking of desperation? 😅 HELP. 🆘

[JSmuve]

You can't. It does reek of desperation. If it was a guy asking this about a girl, there'd be a chorus of girls calling him weird and creepy. Same shit applies here.

[Asker]

Oh, great. I've never thought a guy was creepy if he messaged me, but that's just me. However, I wouldn't have the ladyballs to go past liking a pic or 2, tbh 😅

Just DM him like, "how do you take great shots like everytime? No fair." Be light, compliment, and playful.

[Asker]

DMs.. Not brave enough for that haha 😅 But, thanks 💕🙂

[heavenlyhannah]

Lol, just do it girl! The worst that could happen is he doesn't answer and if so then he wasn't as nice as you thought!

Speak to him in real life, OP.
'Approaching' on the internet….. okayyyyy lol

[Asker]

Yeah, will try to hang out around his city for a few days in the hopes of running into him lol /sarcasm 😅

You don't know him? Bit weird ain't it?

[Asker]

Why? 😅

[Blonde401]

You don't know him but you're stalking him on the internet? And it's complete fantasy, you know a 2D version of him that's basically just what he looks like and nothing more. It's weird.

[Asker]

Saying I'm stalking him is kind of a stretch. His IG profile is open to public and he uses hashtags, people are bound to stumble on his page, that's what Instagram basically is for. 🙂 Also, he doesn't even post a lot of selfies, mostly things he's interested in, that's what initially sparked my interest, because we have a lot in common. And yes, I know I'm weird, that's what us, INFJ types, usually get called. But thanks for reminding me, though.✌🏻️😊

[Blonde401]

I didn't say you were weird, I said wanting to talk to someone you don't know and will never meet just because you like their insta is weird. I know what insta is for yeah but clearly I'm not the only person who thinks this is odd. Let me put it this way, if someone messaged me on insta with this kind of story I wouldn't be into it.

[Asker]

Never even thought of messaging, just didn't know whether to like something, follow or both, because I don't usually follow guys 🙂

[Blonde401]

Do what you want? I don't see the harm in liking something. That's not a big deal
