100 Examples of How to DM a Guy You’ve Never Talked to on Instagram

It is not a secret that there are a lot of attractive guys on Instagram.

Many girls wait for these hot men to DM them thinking that it is weird or even creepy for a woman to message guys first.

But if it is okay for guys to message girls why girls can’t do the same?

The whole idea of social networks like Instagram is to connect people that often don’t know each other in real life.

This means you shouldn’t waste your time waiting for the right guy to slide into your DM and instead take matters into your own hands by messaging the guys you find interesting.

So what are some clever ways to slide into their DMs without coming across as desperate or creepy?

Well, the good news is that even attractive men get fewer messages on Instagram than most women.

This means most guys will appreciate you messaging them no matter what you say in your DM.

To make it easier for you we came up with 100 DM examples that you can just copy & paste and use to message your Instagram crush.
