Don't leave it at a bland "неу"
If you want a response, use ice breakers instead. Take a hint from quirky questions on dating apps!

Ask Questions
Social media is full of clues.
Maybe they've just tweeted about a movie they like, or posted a pic from a concert. Ask a question about an activity that they have spoken about. It shows you've noticed something about them, and that's cool?
"You were at Falguni's concert?? Let's do Garba 2gether next time."

Pretend you saw them at a mall (or somewhere)
If they posted a pic of themselves at a mall or the movies, you could say you saw them!
"Hey, I think I saw you in the XYZ. Wanted to say hi, but wasn't sure if it was you!"

Keep the conversation Going
They replied, hooray! Now what? Ask more questions. React to posts. Share memes. Tell them about the funny thing that happened to you today.

What if they don't respond?
Don't message them across all social media platforms. Stick to one. Give them time to respond. Don't go all "If they wanted to, they would" What if they want to but are just too caught up with life? If even after 2 weeks, it's still radio silence, drop a text again.
Heyy! What's up?

Still no reply? Koi na. You put yourself out there and that's vv badass! Now, time to say bye-bye and make space for someone new.
