I saw that someone recently posted about sliding into DMs. I, 33M in NYC and also would love to know thoughts on this. I come across a lot of IG handles on Bumble/Hinge, I hate small talk, if I’m attracted to you I just wan to take you out and get to know you in person. Have ppl really had sliding into a girls DM and simply saying “drinks or dinner this week?”. Of course I get that she has to find you attractive and be mutually interested… but does a direct tactic like that work?

I rather have that then chat forever. You can weed out the people on 1-3 dates.

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media?

I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.
