    [1] DMing your crush out of the blue can be super scary, especially if you don’t know him well. Thankfully, Snapchat Stories give you an easy in! Send something short, sweet, and clever that’ll both grab his attention and be easy to respond to. [2] You might say:
    • “Dang, it must be brutal to work this late.”
    • “Haha, isn’t it 3 AM where you are? I’m surprised you’re still awake!”
    • “I’m so jealous of all these beach pics. Keep them coming!”
    • Reader Poll: We asked 172 wikiHow readers who've slid into their crush’s DMs, and 53% of them agreed that the best way to do so is by responding to their story with an emoji or quick reaction. [Take Poll] Then, ask them questions about whatever they posted to keep the conversation going!

    Maybe you’re both in the same math class, or you both play the same video game. Whatever that common link is, make a post about it on your story! With any luck, he’ll notice your post and shoot a DM in your direction. Here are a few ideas: [3]
    • If you’re crushing hard on a classmate, you could post a pic of a homework problem that you’re struggling with or a bored-while-studying selfie.
    • If you met your crush through an online community, you might post something that’s related to that mutual hobby, whether it’s sports, video games, or a specific book/movie franchise.
    • If you don’t know your crush at all, you could play it safe with a picture of a cute animal.

    We totally get it—talking to the guy you like can be super daunting, especially if you don’t know him that well. Instead of shooting him a random DM, just make a group chat instead! That might make it a little easier to hit the ground running. [11]
    • This option works best if you have some friends in common. If you add him to a chat with a bunch of people he doesn’t know, he might feel a little weirded out.

    Don’t just send a single-word greeting, like “hey” or “hi,” though! Instead, keep things interesting with an intriguing icebreaker or opening question. [13] Here are some fun topics you could chat about:
    • Ghosts and aliens
    • Astrology
    • Love languages [14]
    • If you run out of ideas, you can always ask him about his favorite movie, book, color, or animal! [15]

    • “What are your thoughts about the new character they added to the game?”
