ALRIGHT help me out here fuckers
Just got the number of a girl who is somewhat close to my family through my parents, tried looking for her on Instagram for an easier open but no luck
How do I initiate a text message conversation without being weird? Instagram has the benefit of requesting a follow beforehand so its not as bad as immediately texting unprompted
Any ideas are appeciated, no way in hell am I fumbling this

hey you're cute you want to go on a date or something

Use your family connection (I assume it's not a blood connection) to get an introduction.

In reference to this:

She has not digged deep in the iceberg (please read the post in the number to get the referencd) so I'd talk to her as a good stranger or a nice person who you just happened to have her number. The most important thing here is mutual respect, not going in being all flirty and overly nice. Be nice, but mainly give mutual respect. It is the equivalent of meeting someone at a subway who prefers to look at the doorway compared to everyone else.

Introduce yourself in the first text so she knows who is texting her

"Hey this is your stalker. I'm in your walls rn, say hi"

This is helpful

I think I just need a good "excuse" to start the conversation without coming off as a loser if you get what I mean
Like previously I've used the excuse of reconnecting with old acquaintances to start the convo but I'm at a loss here

Just be honest. "Hi. I'm Anon, the son of your parents' friends Alan and Lucy Anon. This is very very old-school, but our parents seem to think we should meet. Want to have lunch sometime, if only to please them?"
