I’m not really one to “slide into someone’s DM’s” but sometimes I do see women leave their insta handle on hinge and I am tempted to … I just feel like it’s so cringe. I’m pretty straightforward and don’t do small talk on dating apps… so I was thinking about something like
“hey, came across your profile on hinge, my horoscope today said I should do something out of the ordinary & I’d get rewarded, so I’m not one to DM slide…but here it goes.. drinks this week?”

What do you guys think?

As someone who’s put their IG handle in their hinge profile, yes, please just slide in the DM. I put it there because I was traveling a lot or really wasn’t checking the app often. I appreciate the straight forward approach. Leave out the horoscope part and make sure your IG is public, because she’s going to want to see pics before she accepts and she doesn’t want to have to follow you to do it lol

The 1st rule to sliding in Dms is be attractive. Hot guys can just say hey and it would be considered sexxy but an ugly dude can write a novel and still be considered crippy

Maybe leave the horoscope out and just say the rest. Hey saw your ig on hinge, drinks this wk?

Just swipe. If they’re interested, they’d swipe on you. If they didn’t swipe, they’re not interested so don’t DM. That’s so cringe, IMO.

I kinda like the horoscope bit. But to each their own. Good luck!🍀

Pretty sure OP was being tongue-in-cheek about the “my horoscope” part and had zero intention of actually including that in the message.

Or, he meant exactly what he said.

How good is your ig? Are you attractive-ish/ take care of yourself and normal, like have friends and non serial killer type profile? If the answer is yes, this could work. If you’re not sure, the answer could be no. I also would leave out the drinks part- just say hi first

Most people who put their insta on dating apps are just looking for followers, not actual dating/relationships. And as a woman, I think the above is a fine intro as it's not creepy as some of the DMs we get lol. so I say give it a try, but don't expect a huge response rate.

Lol I never follow. If a person dares to list their IG on their profile, it better be public!

Also I know better than to name drop, but is it acceptable to admit that I know what my peers make when making the ask?
