    7 Tips On Sliding Into Your Crush’s DMs

    Has your DM game been holding your back? Has fear stopped you from finding true love? Well, let us share some tips on how to slide into your crush’s DMs.

    1) Send them money

    7/10 times they will reply your message when it starts with “Can I send you something for the weekend”. This may only work if you send them plenty money, and if you are rich.

    Speak on it Queen

    2) Buy something on their wishlist

    “Can I buy you this thing because I want to get to know you better” is such a beautiful way to slide into the DM of your crush. Gift giving is a love language for a reason. Once again, will only work if you have money.

    3) Introduce yourself

    It is important for your crush to know the name of their future bae. Say your name, and at least something fun about you.

    See introduction nau

    4) State your reason for sending the DM

    Even if it is to buy something, always say why you are texting. Even if you do not have a reason, say you do not have a reason. Just say something.

    5) Be funny

    If you are not rich, at least be funny. People like funny people.

    Funny is all we know

    6) Do not send sexually explicit content

    Phallus pictures, bob and vagene, etc are only acceptable when the receiver has clearly stated consent. Do not be a creep, if not you will chop block.

    7) Investigate

    Will you just DM someone you know nothing about? How will you be able to tell if you have anything in common with this person? Stalk their account and extract valuable information in a non creepy way.

  • The Woes of The DM

    The Woes of The DM

    If you are a social media fiend then the phrase “slide into the DM” is not unusual but if you are not one for the dramas associated to direct messaging then you’d totally relate to these:

    When an online merchant, who seeks your patronage, advertises their wares on posts ending with “DM for price.”

    Are you bloody kidding me? Who does that? So, I’m supposed to stress myself because I want to buy something from you?

    When someone slides into the DM’s to shoot their shot…and misses.

    Abeg, which one is; “advice me on how to get to know you better?”

    That dreaded broadcast message that flies into your DM asking you to join a group or take a survey that is totally unrelated to your interest.

    The battalion of follow up messages when the first DM gets ignored.

    This DM slider can only be stopped by being blocked!

    Getting a message with no context, no introduction, no explanation, nothing except; “Hi.”

    And the ones with too much audacity who proceed to give you nicknames and a promise of your future with them

    …and how y’all will tell your kids about your first Instagram date, your Twitter honeymoon, and oh your first anniversary at SnapChat ville

    Alright, there you have it folks. The streets of social media are cray-cray but there are sure to always keep you intrigued, I know I always am. Lemme go slide into someone’s DM and annoy the heck outta them..
