Message them. Oh so seriously message them. Doooooooo itttttttttttt.

Like, they're on that site for a reason and that reason ain't because their life is so full of people that they don't have time to reconnect with an old friend (and maybe potentially explore a new kind of relationship).

Here's the thing about dating sites. They aren't like real life. They're like real life with all the unavailable, uninterested people removed.

Everyone you see will probably be disoriented with excitement that someone is interested in them. And sure, it might not work out or sometimes people don't click but no one is going to think "Ugh, why is this person messaging me thinking I want to talk to people. Why can't people just leave me alone?!?"

And think of it this way: you already know you guys have stuff in common and this person is feeling like there's at least one people vacancy in their life. Plus it'll probably be nice for them to get a message that isn't 'hey' or 'I'd love to rape you sometime. lol jk! Hope you aren't one of those girls with no sense of humor!'

Okay I've rambled a bit. Ignore all that and GO MESSAGE THIS PERSON while I get another drink.

Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaase.



The end.

Thank you for this post. I think I will message them. But also, you've just made me feel a whole lot better about the whole online dating process in general, so, yeah, thank you again.

Glad you liked that pep talk. It's very similar to the pep talk I gave myself that resulted in me getting laid by an Isaiah Mustafa lookalike with a doctorate who turned out to be a little more batshit than I bargained for via dating site.

But yes. Once I created an empty profile with no picture or information just to tell some people what I thought of their profiles. In a nice constructive way! A few of them messaged me back to ask what I was into and one guy (who I suggested use one of his other non-depressed serial killer pics as his profile pic) gave me his number because he liked that I took initiative. Making first contact is seriously all it takes to be a hot commodity on dating sites sometimes.

Oh yeah, and ~GOOD LUCK~!
