How do you slide into a girls dm
<p>So you like a girl and you want to DM her.</p><p><br/></p><p>How do you slide into her DM?</p><p><br/></p><p>How do you slide into the DM of a girl you actually want to date?</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't slide in with "Hi."</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't slide in with "Good afternoon."</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't slide in with "How are you?"</p><p><br/></p><p>You slide in with clarity.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hello beautiful."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hi pretty."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hey, you're cute."</p><p><br/></p><p>Something that clearly indicates that you find her attractive.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, many people demonize this.</p><p><br/></p><p>Many people make it look as though saying "Hello beautiful" to a woman is somehow wrong.</p><p><br/></p><p>It isn't.</p><p><br/></p><p>Understand something:</p><p><br/></p><p>When a lady gets this kind of DM from a man she does not like or find attractive, she may react with resistance. She may find it annoying.</p><p><br/></p><p>But if she entertains it, then it is not disgusting.</p><p><br/></p><p>A lot of you men, because you're afraid that a woman may find your intentions disgusting, hide your intentions completely.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that does not benefit you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why?</p><p><br/></p><p>Because you get a friendship instead of a relationship.</p><p><br/></p><p>You get a friend when what you actually wanted was a lover.</p><p><br/></p><p>And once you enter friendship under false pretenses, you trap yourself.</p><p><br/></p><p>You start doing things a friend would do when that is not what you wanted.</p><p><br/></p><p>And a smart person who realizes what you want may continue taking the benefits of your attention without giving you the relationship you desire.</p><p><br/></p><p>So stay flirty.</p><p><br/></p><p>Stay clear.</p><p><br/></p><p>Stay honest about your intentions.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>*The Good Boy Reputation*</p><p><br/></p><p>One thing that prevents many men from talking like this is the reputation they are trying to preserve.</p><p><br/></p><p>The "good boy" reputation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Bro, that reputation can hurt you.</p><p><br/></p><p>This is not the usual internet "good boy vs bad boy" nonsense.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm talking about something else.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't create a reputation where it seems impossible that you like women.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't create a reputation where romance from you shocks people.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because when you eventually express attraction, the backlash becomes strange.</p><p><br/></p><p>You start hearing things like:</p><p><br/></p><p>"I rated you."</p><p><br/></p><p>"I thought you were different."</p><p><br/></p><p>"I didn't think you were like other men."</p><p><br/></p><p>Bro, don't try to be "not like other men."</p><p><br/></p><p>As long as you're not married, it should be clear that you like women.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not every woman.</p><p><br/></p><p>But women.</p><p><br/></p><p>It should not look out of character for you to tell a girl:</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hi beautiful."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hey pretty."</p><p><br/></p><p>That should be normal.</p><p><br/></p><p>True responsibility is not pretending to be a saint.</p><p><br/></p><p>True responsibility is your ability to provide, to show up, to keep your word, and to behave properly.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not pretending that attraction does not exist.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>*When To Continue and When To Stop*</p><p><br/></p><p>Now this is where many men make mistakes.</p><p><br/></p><p>They keep pushing when the girl has already given them an answer.</p><p><br/></p><p>Pay attention.</p><p><br/></p><p>If you tell a girl:</p><p><br/></p><p>"Hello beautiful."</p><p><br/></p><p>And she replies:</p><p><br/></p><p>"Thanks."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Thank you."</p><p><br/></p><p>"Okay."</p><p><br/></p><p>Cold.</p><p><br/></p><p>Dry.</p><p><br/></p><p>No energy.</p><p><br/></p><p>No effort.</p><p><br/></p><p>That is information.</p><p><br/></p><p>She is not entertaining the flirtation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Take the hint.</p><p><br/></p><p>But if she says:</p><p><br/></p><p>"You're not bad yourself."</p><p><br/></p><p>Or she asks questions about you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Or she keeps the conversation alive.</p><p><br/></p><p>Or she returns the compliment.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then that is also information.</p><p><br/></p><p>She is participating.</p><p><br/></p><p>She is investing.</p><p><br/></p><p>You continue.</p><p><br/></p><p>This is important because attraction is cooperative.</p><p><br/></p><p>Stop trying to drag people into romance.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let people reveal themselves.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>*Make Your Intentions Clear*</p><p><br/></p><p>The purpose of all this is simple:</p><p><br/></p><p>Lead with intention.</p><p><br/></p><p>A woman should know why you entered her DM.</p><p><br/></p><p>She should know:</p><p><br/></p><p>"This man finds me attractive."</p><p><br/></p><p>"This man wants to know me."</p><p><br/></p><p>Not:</p><p><br/></p><p>"This man wants friendship."</p><p><br/></p><p>Because if you behave like a friend for months and suddenly say:</p><p><br/></p><p>"Let's go on a date."</p><p><br/></p><p>It feels strange.</p><p><br/></p><p>You cannot build a friendship and suddenly expect romance to appear from nowhere.</p><p><br/></p><p>Intent matters.</p><p><br/></p><p>Clarity matters.</p><p><br/></p><p>That is why your approach should be honest from the beginning.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not creepy.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not desperate.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just clear.</p><p><br/></p>
