Is sending a friend request on social media enough to encourage a guy to talk to me more? (Page 2)

[Amiapowerlessman]

It should be, especially if he was feeling shy around you maybe seeing the request will let him know it’s ok to talk with you more often

[Marcodic]

It's not important to me which one of us takes the initiative in that particular situation. That is, unless one or both of us are wanting to dominate and control the pace for developing our new friendship. I prefer to follow whatever direction my instincts guide me towards and allow things to work themselves out naturally, but comfortably for both of us, without giving much serious thought or concern to any preconceived social guidelines or standards set by others.

[Holsen]

Um yea it is, furthermore if he stil doesn't get the signs😮‍💨😮‍💨 guess you should text him as he may be shy or scared or maybe just not thinking much!!

[overthinkergirl]

sending a friend request, liking stories and posts are the bare minimum for me. if u like him u could ask him to hang out

[Marcodic]

Absolutely! Well said!🤙

[WhitneySnow]

That’s a really good question. He should’ve gotten the hint by now, but just in case if he doesn’t message you in like a week or so maybe you should take the initiative and message him.

You sound desperate. Back off and quit being in your masculine energy. A flower does not need to chase a bee. The bee just naturally comes to the Flower for its beauty.

[fantasticass]

No.., honestly I never accept friends request, even if I know them. Social media is a fickle place. If you want to meet someone, make the effort, don't be lazy using social media ✌️

[modeunae]

If you keep making an effort and his not reciprocating physically or over text/social media-- then ja. He doesn't like you.

[whirled_up_girl]

Just a friend request might not indicate that you want a personal message back. I would send a follow-up message.

[molonski2]

I don't think just friending him is enough , after he accepts I think you should reach out and make the suggestion of a meeting.

[thatshydork]

In my experience, it depends on the guy. Some will take it as encouragement to talk to you, some won’t.

[red324]

The only girls that friend request me are scammers from another country. Or they just want to sell you nudes. Which in my opinion is probably also a scam. Like they would really send them anyways.

[RavVid]

We have the problem of not being sure if you are just a friendly girl or a girl that is wanting us to give her sex.

[Ms_Facesitter]

It's not... Guys don't take hints, and if he's already shy, you're going to make the first step more often.

[Massageman]

If you know of. an interest or two of his, you might ask a question about something along those lines. (Oh- you play the guitar? What is the hardest/easiset thing about playing it? ) etc.

[summiter]

Ity is a good start. It is also ok for a girl to take the initiative.. most guys like that!

[Pohjolan]

Depends on whether you know him from before or not.

Men get both friend requests and messages from attractive "women" who are just bots or scammers.

[Anonymous]

I think it depends. If u guys already talk to each other, by following him can make him text u first.. or else, i think its unlikely to make any diff

[Avicenna]

I'd message him if that's what you really want (more contact). It's less ambiguous.

[ItsBodieBrah]

Maybe, but why wouldn’t you just be confident and dm him
