How do you make the first message feel natural?
Cita da Matej su 11 Settembre 2026, 6:43I used to think the first message had to be especially clever to get someone's attention. After a while, I realized that trying too hard can actually make an introduction feel less natural. These days, I prefer to write something connected to the person's profile. Even a simple question about a hobby or an interest can work better than a long compliment.

If you ask something that can only be answered with "yes" or "no", the conversation may stop immediately. A question that invites a story or opinion gives both people more to work with.
