How to talk to guys/girls via social media

@crimsontime If you think talking online doesn’t work well for you, or if you find it hard to to keep up conversations with people online, maybe try to schedule a date (or just to hangout) in person. It helps to establish a connection with someone when you are meeting them face-to-face, even if it’s just every other week or so. If online is your only option, maybe try to FaceTime them every so often, if you aren’t doing that already. 

If you’re interested, definitely respond. There’s so shame in starting a conversation and opting out from continuing talking if you aren’t feeling a connection. You can start by doing a quick scroll through their account and seeing if you guys have anything in common (music, hobbies, pets, etc.) and guiding the conversation towards that. You can also ask about the things he’s interested in, if you see that he/she is wearing a sports jersey in one photo you can mention a recent game, or if he/she posts a lot of pictures of their car you can inquire about that. Try not to bring up stuff too far down in their profile because that can come off as a little creepy. Another way is to bring up your interests and let them ask you about it. If you enjoy traveling, you can describe your trip or a funny story, and send photos if you’d like. If you’re into art or crafting you can showcase some of your pieces and talk about that. People love to talk about themselves but make sure they have an interest in what you have to say too.
