Is too cocky of a DM opener? Does anyone have their best/worst DM slides?

Ex:

"Hey, I don’t know if you're in the city for very long, but we should hang out if you want to. Here's my number."

lol

Ex:

"You up?"

"Sorry"

"I just want to talk to my friend, I haven't seen you in months 😢 "

I literally saw him like a week previously

Try something more minimal yet straight to the point like “DTF?” Can never geaux wrong with that

I feel like just cutting out the part about the number might make it a bit more acceptable. 🤷‍♀️

Since this is someone I knew in HS, I'd just change it to "don't know if you're still living in the city".

Denial creates desire.

I wasn't sure if I got it. VenusAqua and all, but the 223 new messages threw me off, lol. That's like pandemonium, lol. Yes, exaggeration for emphatic humor.

Yes.

“Saw you back on bumble stranger.” 😑

Oops, I was mistaken.

I have been DM-ed here on DXP. It's quite funny that one of the DMs was very much like the OP's. Sometimes, I thought the account was created just to DM me... which is spooky...

Even when singIe, I never take an initial flirtation seriously in real life... it just doesn't stick. I see it as "hi."

Yeah, I prefer to go with the respectful approach that still shows intent/interest. Doesn't force anything on anyone and isn't too aggressive/cocky.

I hate when someone older than you from your childhood comes around and is like “wow, you’ve grown up” or “you’re not that innocent little girl I knew”

It’s fuckin creepy 😒
