How to subtly get his attention online?

[Anonymous]

I am not one to want attention from people lol, but I recently realised that if I actually want to be in a relationship, I have to make a move. I made a move by following my crush online, thankfully he immediately followed back.

He’s single, yet I am a bit shy to slide into the DMs, I’ve never done that before so I’m chickening out. What else can I do or post to maybe get him making a move towards me instead? by the way, I’m not one to post sexy photos of myself, so anything other than that would be great😂, thanks!

A gentleman below got it right. Invite him somewhere.

The purpose of social media in dating is to escalate interaction to meeting face to face.
You cannot build meaningful attraction through social media.

Kind regards,

I understand, thank you for your insight! I’ll plan on doing something soon😊

Does he post stories or anything? If so comment on one of those and it doubles as a conversation starter as well as your way into dms. If not then maybe you guys hung out or something funny happened together then you can comment on it.

Follow him on social media and interact, comment and liking his publications

Thank you for the response.

He posts multiple times a day, so I’ll like a few here and there, and even comment, lol I didn’t even think of commenting. Thank you 😊

"i am not one to want attention from people, but"

Then why are you getting attention from people

[Asker]

Because I think I need to come out of my comfort zone and be seen more. I’m so shy and introverted and I’m practically invisible. Hardly anyone knows anything about me. I’ve been single all my life and watched all my crushes have gfs and even married while I’m stuck in one place. I blame myself for my reality and want to make some changes.

Nah, be you!

A guy will be attracted to you for you, not someone you think you need to be hun

Invite him to dinner.

[Asker]

Thank you for the advice! 😊

Some of our mutuals friends are actually planning to go out, perhaps I can invite him in a group setting first? Then move on from there

[slatyb]

Sounds like a plan

[Wise4myage]

Say something funny, but keep it G rated.

[Asker]

Sounds good! Thank you 😊
