Instead of using cheesy sayings to attract romantic prospects IRL, the new cuffing tactic is the DM—i.e., the direct message.
If you haven’t realized it yet, the days of pick-up lines are over. Yes, everyone’s on dating apps, but sliding into someone’s DMs has not only become a well-known meme, it’s an *actual* way people are meeting new partners.Laura Bilotta
, a Toronto-based dating coach, helps people with literally every aspect of dating, from how to approach a person to creating your dating profile, so naturally, she knows a lot about what goes down in the DM. According to Bilotta, it’s totally possible to meet someone this way. “But it’s all in the way that you approach it,” she says. “If you do it in a tasteful way, then there’s nothing wrong with it.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an abundance of tasteful DMs. Proof: We asked six millennial women for screenshots of their most ~memorable~ DMs and, well, just read them below. We also had Bilotta critique each message. Hilarious? Absolutely. But she also offered up some v. helpful do’s and don’ts. Here’s her best advice for starting a convo in your crush’s DMs.“You’re coming on too strong—sit down. It’s called *sliding* into someone’s DMs, [which means] doing it in a nonchalant way.
“This is great. I love that. Sometimes it’s easier to do when it’s two women or two men because there’s not so much of that ‘stranger danger’ there. Especially if you have a lot of mutual friends, I think there’s nothing wrong with it.” [Editor’s note: This is how two women became friends on Twitter. One woman replied to the other woman’s tweet as a direct message.]
