The city of selfies where everyone’s life seems perfect is a breeding ground for thirst traps, twerk videos, and eggplant prints. Well not far behind is the want to be with someone based off of the pictures they’ve shared. How can you be with someone you don’t have any connection to without being a creep? Well grab your notepads, this is a step-by-step tutorial on how to shoot your shot on Instagram.

STEP  1: FOLLOW

Even after stalking them for so many days or even months, but you haven’t followed them yet. Following them is the first step towards shooting your shot.

But in this as well there are certain terms under which you must apply which are like never send them the follow request right after they’ve posted something new; instead send them the request when they are getting no notifications from anyone. They’re more likely to see who you are if you’re the only name popping up in their notification bar.

STEP 2: WAIT FOR A FOLLOW BACK

In some cases, you will get a follow back but in some you won’t. It is not necessary for the person to follow you…for instance, if a person has 20k followers and is only following 10 people then skip this step and move to the next one.

It is also possible that the folk will scroll through your account and may take a look at your pictures to see if you’re fine, and to see if they have any connections with you. 

It may make a difference for them if you have similar fan following or more than them.

And if your page is private, it better be at its best angle, your avi should be the most attractive image to be hard to ignored. 

Your bio should have some interesting and top notch to be fed to the eyes of others.

The you get a follow back.

STEP 3: START THE LIKING GAME

Like 3 of their pictures; not all new ones. You have to like a new one, a relatively old one, then a stupid old one like from the beginning of Instagram pic that’s blurry with too many filters. If they’re interested, they’ll like a few of yours too. Now please don’t have any recent pics with you looking coupled up; that’ll be one of the first ones they’ll like, just to be petty. Nevertheless, after they like some of your pics, you have to like another pic or 2 of theirs. They’ll like another back. Liking game over. You can get trapped in the liking game, so two rounds are more than enough.

STEP 4: COMMENT ON A PICTURE

If they have a pic with a question, answer it. If the person has a pic of some intellectual thought that interests you, you should go deeper and respond to it: you can even say that you’re reposting it on your profile.

Please don’t be corny and just comment with your heart eyes are much with heart eyes and think that’ll do the trick, it won’t. heart eyes are much often ignored or just added to the rest of the heart eyes in the comments that won’t get a response. Emojis aren’t conversation starters, use your words.

STEP 5: HAVE A CONVERSATION IN COMMENT

After the completion of step 4, a conversation must be on the way by the other side. 

Make and interesting conversation to endulge your partner to be, in you more by the time and the craze to talk to you increases by the time.

Make sure your answers must leave them with something to counter.

Using your laugh dose can help getting you a bonus but the matter could be sensitive as the sense of humor is different for everyone and before that make sure you know what kind of jokes another person is habitual to.

STEP 6: DIVE IN

It’s time to shift the conversation to a more private space; in the comments section, essentially anyone can jump in and ruin your chances.

 Plus, aren’t the DMs the goal??? Now you get to know the small nuances that make them who they are and things that you couldn’t obviously learn from their profile. Remember y’all aren’t besties yet, so discuss intense topics at your own risk. After a few days of talking in the DMs, you can ask to exchange numbers. DO NOT ask right away, that’s creepy, I don’t know you! Nevertheless, once you’ve now transferred the conversation off of Instagram, you’re on the road to success.
