Be original, yes, but also have some type of class about you. If you would not call me in the morning on the phone and say… “Hey beautiful,” after you just received my number, please don’t think that is a proper way to greet a woman when first speaking with her via any source of communication, especially if you don’t know her.
Because you don’t! I have been called “uptight, high maintenance, siddity, uppity, bougie, etc.” but regrettably, if you can’t interact with me on a text basis, I can only imagine how you’d treat and speak to me in person. I actually can’t imagine because I wouldn’t engage you past the initial text conversation. Keep that in mind the next time you want to find your bae, potential girlfriend, wife, or even just a friend to travel with. Just know that the DM is your very first chance at an opportunity YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD! So don’t blow it.
P.S. To some of women… Ya’ll need to truly evaluate how you show up in spaces. This line, “let me see that (eggplant emoji),” as your first interaction with a man is just unbecoming! Shame on you! You’re giving me “I don’t think I deserve a man who loves and respects me vibes”. You have to do better sis!
With love and hope that you find it,
Adrienne
