to back that up. Would it be

High risk, improbable reward.
Go for it if you are okay with the potentially irreparable damage to your reputation

You have to be down pretty bad to even consider this
Yeah I’m cringing at reading the replies of guys encouraging this. Yikes 😬
Yes - there’s already plenty of posts from people on LinkedIn saying LinkedIn is not a dating platform and people don’t want that type of outreach. Go find them on a dating platform if you’re really interested.
Or I can just find them on Instagram
YES! It’s the worst.
Yaaaasss lmao
Yeah, don’t flirt on linked-in. It’s already enough like Facebook lol

From my (female) perspective: random LinkedIn friend requests come off as super creepy. It’s really frustrating to have random friend requests from average joes all the time (esp the men that are way older) flooding your LinkedIn notifications and emails. Please don’t be part of the problem.
If you want to ‘shoot your shot’ as the bros on this thread are saying … at least find their ig and slide into the DMs that way. Ig is the space for that stuff, not LinkedIn.
Yeah but everyone gets random friend requests on LinkedIn… why does it have to be anything even remotely related to ‘shooting your shot?’ I get random friend requests from average joes all the time too… never once considered it to mean anything. Although that hasn’t prevented my wife from getting jealous 😅
It’s all fun and games until they spread your photo and message everywhere… happened to a friend

You are guaranteed to miss the shot if you don’t take it, right?

I’ve been thinking the same about this one person, so I’m going to support you. Do what you gotta do! What pushes me even more is that you can see if they’re successful or not ✅ ✅
Yep cuz if you don’t you’ll never know!🤣
You better be cute af and have the resume to back it up. Some ppl do this to me and I really really really wanna repost.
1. Don’t.
2. If you REALLY wanna do it, start with something like. I totally respect your preference of keeping it professional on this platform, but I would like to at-least let it be known that your interests and presence is intriguing and I’d love to talk more in a social capacity if you are open to it. I say with respect and will completely understand if you aren’t.
That way it sounds more like you genuinely just wanna get to know them and not just try to ‘shoot your shot’
Then OP should see point 1.
