Need advice: how to text my crush without it getting awkward?

[Anonymous]

There's this boy I like, and he's in my class. I got the courage to ask for his Instagram, and he gave it to me. We haven't really talked before, but I finally took the step and wrote to him. The thing is, I don't really know how to keep the conversation going. I want us to talk more often and not let the conversation die, but I don't know the right way to do it. What can I say to him so we can keep chatting naturally?

Say anything that comes to your mind. Hey look at this cool thing I found on Instagram. Hey class was hard today, can you come over and help me study? Just talk to him like anyone else. Good luck.

Here is a better idea. Just talk to him.

Quit using Instagram.. lol. Quit being socially awkward weirdos and just talk to one another.

Express how you feel. Never force anything because that's what creates the awkwardness.
