When it comes to dating apps, Instagram often goes overlooked despite its massive potential as a platform to connect with new people. In this article, we’ll explore the secrets to successfully meeting women on Instagram, according to renowned dating coach Blaine Anderson. With a step-by-step approach, you can turn Instagram into your favorite dating app and unlock its untapped potential.
Many guys make the mistake of sending cold direct messages (DMs) without understanding the repercussions. This rarely leads to success. Instead, successful guys invest time in designing an attractive Instagram profile and approach women who they have qualified as single and compatible. By sending thoughtful messages and creating engaging conversations, they increase their chances of transitioning from online interaction to a real-life date. Here’s how you can start:
- Build a Compelling Profile
To make Instagram work as a dating app, you need to create a compelling profile. Building a strong Instagram profile is similar to creating a strong profile on dating apps like Hinge or Bumble, just with the added challenge of Instagram’s lack of guardrails, and the importance of social proof. You need high-quality photos that clearly depict what you look like and illustrate your lifestyle — enough to fill two rows on your profile — captions that make readers smile and showcase your personality, and social proof such as followers, likes, and comments.
- Qualify Your Crush
Before sending a girl a DM, it’s crucial you “qualify” her to understand if she’s single and if the two of you are compatible. Investigate her relationship status through her photos, posts, or other reliable sources. Additionally, consider factors such as shared interests and physical proximity to ensure compatibility. It’s worth noting that most successful Instagram connections have an underlying offline connection, so keep this in mind when choosing who to pursue.
- Start the Conversation
Once you’ve qualified your crush, it’s time to craft a DM that she wants to respond to and ensure she sees it. The message should be specific to her, helpful or entertaining, and have a “why now” element — check out her Story to see if she’s shared anything that you can comment on. Furthermore, if she doesn’t follow you, your DM may end up in a hidden inbox. To increase the chances of her seeing your message, comment on one of her photos to tell her to check her DMs!
Final Words
Meeting women on Instagram requires a strategic approach that involves building an attractive profile, qualifying your crush, and starting engaging conversations. By hiring a dating coach, you can unlock Instagram’s potential as a powerful dating app. Remember, creating a compelling profile and investing time and effort over an extended period is key to attracting women you’re excited about on Instagram.
