Dating : DMing a guy first
Sorry for the cross-post.
So there’s this guy who worked for the same company I worked for at the time. It was a very large company, he didn’t know me, but I knew of him and heard him lecture a few times. I always looked for a chance to introduce myself, but never got it and he eventually went to work elsewhere. He’s smart, cultured, cute in an eccentric way… involved in a lot of charitable work, which got him a few minutes on local telly awhile back. It was a good-natured joke at work when we saw it, like, « Oh, there’s A— on tv. He’s so famous now, he’ll never acknowledge us. »
However, after I saw him on the news, I started thinking a lot about him. I looked him up online and found him on a social media site, did a little snooping – and he’s even more awesome now. Attractiveness aside, the very least, he’s a positive, interesting person I’d love to know better.
I feel so skeevy sending a DM to a guy who will have no idea who I am. « Sliding into DMs » is a joke for a reason, right? But there is ZERO percent chance he’ll initiate any contact with me first. Should I do this? How can I do it without seeming desperate, needy, and psycho?
Feel free to chat with me!
Just do it? The worst thing that could happen is him saying no, that and men generally appreciate when women take initiative
Do it!
