A generic \u201cHey\u201d or \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d often disappears into the sea of messages. Instead, reference something specific from the person\u2019s profile. <\/p>\n
For example, if their bio mentions a love for gardening, try: \u201cI noticed you grow heirloom tomatoes. What\u2019s your favorite dish to make with them?\u201d This shows you\u2019ve paid attention and gives them a clear path to respond. <\/p>\n
