1.) When you DM someone, it is like tapping them on the shoulder.

2.) Consider this first DM as extending a handshake or greeting.

3.) ALWAYS LEAD WITH JUST A SELFIE

Think of this step as allowing them to check you out during the handshake so Put effort into a good clear face photo that may even include you in your favorite outfit or doing your favorite activity.

If they reply and are interested, they will express if they want more or you can ask them if it's ok to send more. Never send nudes without consent or permission.

4.)Stand out and get thier attention! Don't be a boring line of text: Since this is the internet, YOU CAN STAND OUT by creating a sense of who you are:

[Greeting!] My name is [name], [age][city], [interested in].

5.) Generate mutual interest by filling out your profile. Include a profile pic and banner. If it is NSFW, the disclosure is adequate, just have a separate profile for these. Let your honest self and interests show. How can anyone know if they are interested if they don't know anything about you!?
