How to approach a girl online

Now that you know how to approach a girl for the first time, it’s time to know how to hit on a girl online. Social media comes as a savior for men who are reluctant to approach a girl in person. You neither have to worry about your looks nor be in any awkward situation. 

But, this doesn’t mean that approaching a girl online is child’s play. You can choose to comment on her picture. But besides simply commenting on her beauty, you can also ask about the place the picture was taken at. This provides room for conversation, and that’s what you want, right? Here are some more tips on how to approach a girl online:

• Go through her profile or Instagram stories to get cues. Try to find something interesting or simply ask for her suggestions on things that she is fond of. If she loves gardening, ask her to share a picture of her garden
• A relatable meme, along with a message, is one of the best conversation starters. It will not just lift her spirits but will also make her notice your sense of humor
• Most often, just messaging ‘hi’ doesn’t work. So make sure to add something interesting that prompts her to response

How to approach a girl you don’t know

Most guys have a tough time approaching a girl they have met for the first time. Neither is there any common topic nor do they know much about her. As we have already told you, confidence is the best way to approach a girl. So, the same applies here as well.

Don’t dismiss pretty basic and funny conversation starters. They are useful too. For example, if you both are in a club, you can simply ask, “Is it your favorite club in the city?” Here are some more tips on how to approach a girl you don’t know: 

• Start a conversation by asking simple questions. For instance, you can ask about a good spot for brunch or anything similar to break the ice
• You should have an idea about the exit moment. Do not stretch the conversation for too long, as she might lose interest. End the conversation naturally, and if things go well, try to meet her next time
• Avoid walking up to her and asking for the number right away. You can politely ask for her contact number after the basic introduction is done and if she seems interested to know more about you
