Not sure how to make the first move with your crush on Snapchat? Not to worry—you’ve got more power at your fingertips than you think. Unlike traditional texting, Snapchat offers plenty of seamless, creative ways to chat with the guy you like, along with a host of other fun features. Read on for a few Snaptastic ways to get the ball rolling!
[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Reply to his Snapchat Story.
- This is a super-easy way to get the ball rolling.[1] DMing your crush out of the blue can be super scary, especially if you don’t know him well. Thankfully, Snapchat Stories give you an easy in! Simply open up your Stories page and tap on the circle above his username to view his Story. Then, swipe up from the bottom of your screen to reply to a specific picture.[2] You might say:
- “Dang, it must be brutal to work this late.”
- “Haha, isn’t it 3 AM where you are? I’m surprised you’re still awake!”
- “I’m so jealous of all these beach pics. Keep them coming!”
[Edit]Post something to your Story that’ll grab his attention.
- Updating your Story lets him make the first move. Maybe you’re both in the same math class, or you both play the same video game. Whatever that common link is, make a post about it on your story! With any luck, he’ll notice your post and shoot a DM in your direction. Here are a few ideas:[3]
- If you’re crushing hard on a classmate, you could post a pic of a homework problem that you’re struggling with or a bored-while-studying selfie.
- If you met your crush through an online community, you might post something that’s related to that mutual hobby, whether it’s sports, video games, or a specific book/movie franchise.
- If you don’t know your crush at all, you could play it safe with a picture of a cute animal.
[Edit]Forward him a Story from another brand or company.
- A lot of third-party brands and newsgroups create fun, short, and intriguing Snapchat Stories. You can find them on your Stories page—simply scroll through until you find something that your crush would really like. Then, just press and hold your screen to open up a mini-menu, which should offer the “Share Snap” option. Simply tap this button to share the Story privately to your crush![4]
- If your crush is a big foodie, you might send him a video of some kitchen hacks.
- If he’s a fan of a certain celebrity, you could send him a special news byte.
[Edit]Send over a meme.
- A good meme is worth a thousand laughs. Send him an academic meme to strike up a conversation about studying woes, or pick out a remixed cartoon meme to break out the laughs.[5] Once you’ve settled on a good meme, open up the chat box between you and your crush. Then, tap on the icon of 2 rectangles, which should give you the option to upload your desired picture.[6]
- Take a look at what’s trending if you can’t think of something to send! The meme world is constantly changing and evolving.
[Edit]Skip the small talk and get straight to the competition.
- Snapchat has a wide arsenal of minigames to choose from. Open up the chat screen and tap on your crush’s name. From there, tap on the rocket icon to pull up a list of games you can play together. Pick out a game that you think he’d like, such as:[7]
- Animal Restaurant
- Color Galaxy
- Word Blitz
- Hole.io
[Edit]Change up your usual “hi” or “hello” with a friendly Bitmoji.
- A Bitmoji is a pint-sized, cartoon version of you that you can send just like a traditional emoji.[8] Download the Bitmoji app so you can set up and sync your avatar with Snapchat. Then, start a new chat with your crush and browse through all the hilarious Bitmoji sticker greetings at your fingertips.[9]
- The sky’s the limit when it comes to Bitmoji stickers! You can send everything from fun greetings and “I love yous” to the latest and greatest internet slang.
- For a super playful touch, pick out a Bitmoji sticker that features both of your avatars.
[Edit]Include a link in your Snap.
- Invite him on a web-surfing adventure he’ll never forget. Take a regular picture or video Snap first. Then, scan the menu along the right-hand side of your screen for a paperclip icon. Simply copy and paste your desired link into the “Type a URL” box, and presto! Your Snap is ready to go.[10]
- If he’s a huge sports nut, you could send him a news article about his favorite team.
- If he’s really into video games, you might send him a link about a new PlayStation game that’s coming out.
[Edit]Make a playful statement with a Snapchat Cameo.
- Snapchat Cameos transform a simple selfie into hilarious stickers. If you aren’t totally sure how to break the ice with your crush, let your Cameo do the talking instead! A silly sticker featuring the 2 of you as dancing bananas or penguins is sure to get the conversation going.[11]
- Dancing chickens, dancing lemons, and dancing stick figures are just a few of the chaotically hilarious Cameos you can choose from.
[Edit]Snap an adorable selfie with a funny lens.
- A creative Snapsterpiece is sure to make him smile. Snapchat lenses take your Snaps to a whole new level by changing your appearance or even transforming your screen into a crazy AR experience. Just tap the smiley face icon next to the shutter button to bring up a ton of different lenses.[12]
- If you’d like even more options, tap the “explore” button on the bottom-right corner of your phone screen.
[Edit]Set up a group chat.
- Ditch the awkward one-on-one with the help of your mutual friends. We totally get it—talking to the guy you like can be super daunting, especially if you don’t know him that well. Instead of shooting him a random DM, just make a group chat instead! Simply pull up your “Friends” page and hit the chat icon at the top of the page. Tap on the friends you’d like to chat with (including your crush!) so you can hit the ground running.[13]
- This option works best if you have some friends in common. If you add him to a chat with a bunch of people he doesn’t know, he might feel a little weirded out.
[Edit]Wow him with your pun-derful Snapchat skills.
- Punny messages break the ice in a way that “hi” and “how are you” just can’t. With a silly, clever caption, you can turn a grape, pineapple, sushi roll, ceiling fan, or even a light switch into an unforgettable message! Then, send your Snapsterpiece to him and him alone. Here are a few picture and caption ideas to get you started:[14]
- Bowl of Grapes: I had a grape time hanging out with you yesterday!
- Pineapple: Of all the fruits out there, you’d be 'fineapple'.
- Ceiling Fan: Good luck on your math test tomorrow! Your biggest fan is rooting for you.
- Sushi Roll: I can’t wait sushi you on Saturday!
- Light Switch: Do you feel turned on right now?
[Edit]Slide into his DMs.
- DMs are a great option once you feel comfortable enough chatting one-on-one. Pull up the chat screen, which is left of the camera. Then, hit the chat icon along the top of the screen, search for your crush’s username, and tap on their name to start up the conversation![15] Feel free to talk about whatever strikes your fancy, from aliens and ghosts to astrology and love languages.[16] If you run out of ideas, you can always ask him about his favorite movie, book, color, or animal![17] To keep your chat going, feel free to ask open-ended questions, like:[18]
- “What do you think about that basketball game last night?”
- “What are your thoughts about the new character they added to the game?”
- “How do you get through math class without falling asleep?”
- “What are your plans for the weekend?”
[Edit]Start up a voice or video call.
- There’s no replacement for some one-on-one time with the guy of your dreams! If you’re feeling ready to take things to the next level, send him a casual chat message like, “Up for a call?” or “Down for a video chat?” Then, tap the phone or video camera icon to get things going.[19]
[Edit]Tips
- As a playful competition, challenge him to keep your Snapstreak going for as long as possible![20]
