  1. Anyone have experience sliding in DM's?  If you're the slider but (besides your profile picture) your account is set to private (on IG), anyone have experience in nonchalantly raising the other person's interest through your chat?  (And yes I'm straight up asking, give flak if you'd like but also credit for being ballsy enough to shoot my shot)

      @Cramarossa Is it weird if you sort of know the guy?  Right now it feels like people are conditioning guys to not approach girls and what not, because we come off as creeps.

      @BoKnows For me it would depend on how I knew him. If he was a real friend then ironically it would make me uneasy...like was he pretending to be my friend this whole time when really what he wanted was to holler at me? A friend of a friend or an acquaintance is a good middle ground- someone I know but not so close that I'd question their intentions. Stranger is tough because it seems too risky.

       

      Also, my personal feelings have changed as I've aged. I'm 30 now, and with hindsight can see that some guys I blew off as creeps in the past were probably well-meaning, just awkward or inexperienced. By that same token though my BS detector has been refined so I feel more confident in my own ability to weed out the bad apples. Also, after being burned plenty of times myself I have more of an appreciation for someone shooting their shot; now I know how hard that is to do without getting demoralized.

      @Cramarossa regarding @BoKnows question, I would've thought that it's perceived as more weird if the guy and girl didn't know each other, due to potential thirst (not counting dating apps)?  I mean it makes sense that lurking creepers posing as friends would be off-putting, to put it mildly, but I guess in this day and age the whole organic "meet your s.o. through friends circle" narrative is only a thing of legends and fairy tales?  Also it would be uneasy if he suddenly felt different towards you (changing from friends to interest)?  Guess the friend-zone is alive and well
