If you see someone attractive on LinkedIn is it against the code to shoot your shot?🤔

The only answer.

High risk, improbable reward.

Go for it if you are okay with the potentially irreparable damage to your reputation

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.

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?

Yea , the shot isn’t going to shoot it self 🥴

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.

As a man are you looking for an extremely successful lady that is extremely career driven and willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the next level or are you more attracted to a lady that is happy at the level she is at and takes the next step as it comes? To put things into simple terms would you rather a 9-5 lady or a 9- whenever the job is done lady? Explain why please.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance.

It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
