To slide into the DMs is a reference to sending someone a private message on social media, often to initiate or extend romantic contact, with a suave confidence. It takes a conversation from public to private. The phrase can vary depending on its user, as one can slide into his/her DMs or slide into your/yo DMs, for instance. This is defined by Dictionary.com.
I have had a increase in DMs in my IG (instagram) account lately. I went from about 1 a year, to about 5 in the last 2 weeks. The thing is these people don’t even bother to look at your profile. It has very clearly stated that I’m married and have a wife since I got married in 2016. If someone wants to send me a message that’s fine I will usually respond just for the fun of it. They are usually nice stating the only want to be friends, however I know the real truth. The people that “slide into the DM” (for me at least) are never from the US. Sorry guys, but I only give out one US citizenship per a lifetime, (ill have to to post about that later).
I had one guy go straight to the sex talk right after the initial “hi, how are you.” I messed with him a lil, laughed and then blocked him.
This other guy has been sending me a couple of messages over the last few days, which is fine. However yesterday after we have exchanged a few messages about my dogs. He mentioned having a dog party because they are about to be 7 months old (very silly IMO). Well I didn’t respond because I was driving home from the store. He started to ask “hello? are you there?”
I didn’t like that at all. I don’t know you and honestly I have no desire to know you. I responded back telling him that I was driving. He then asked me to hit him up when I have time for him, I responded back with, “you will never get my undivided attention.” Yea I know it may of been a lil harsh, but like I said I know in the end where this is all going.
He asked, “why is that?”
“Because my wife get it”
He responds with “Wait! I’m chatting with a guy??” I responded with no
He states “Then what’s going on here? Wait! You gay?”
I replied back with “you never once looked at my profile”
He then goes on to say he just did. Starts to ask me about my profile picture, says that he is only being friendly and if I want he will stop texting me, I told him just don’t get bothered if I don’t respond right away. to be replied with “Lol, why would I?” did you forget that maybe 10 mins ago, you were questioning me because I didn’t respond.
I didn’t bother responding and honestly I will be shocked if he sends another message. It’s funny how these guys are so clueless with the thought of a woman being married to another woman.
Oh yea and before you ask, Yes my wife knows about this stuff. It’s not a secret.
I always kind of assumed messages like these was just BOT messages, automated and sent to a lot of different profiles, hoping to get some sort of response. I have an interesting story or two regarding similar Facebook messages. If I’m honest, I like to mess with these people a little bit try and give them a piece of their own medicine if I can. I know it can be difficult given what they say sometimes, but I would try not to take the messages to personally like you say they haven’t even taken the time to look at your profile, they know nothing about you x
Messing with them is my only reason to respond lol
