This has never happened before.
A female has given me their phone number through a mutual male acquaintance.
The problem is I'm 23 KHV and I've never had to start a convo in the DMs.
How do you go about this, greetings and farewells are the hardest, I honestly don't know what to say besides
>"Hey, how are you today"
>"Ok, see you later" OR "Have a good one"
I don't want to fuck this up, but I have no wit or charisma and am completely under socialized.
Any copy paste suggestions or general guidance? She is a demure girl for reference.

just be yourself

Talk about why you're talking. D'uh. Show her what you want, ask her what she wants with you or what she's like as a person.
Honestly I skip greetings in instant messengers.

literally just be normal.

test:
>sup
>thinking about what do this weekend... wanna have some fun
>oh l bet you'll have fun with Chad and Tyrone you fucking whore. FUCK i can't believe for once in my live i thought i had something real. i finally thought I'd get to have my manhood ritual and get to do a fucking mating dance and IMMEDIATELY you're telling me I'm boring? why can't any of you femoids EVER give me an honest chance

can you not talk like that and just be normal?

For instance, let's suppose you want a relationship. You should say
"Hi, I got your number from a friend who said you were single and available. I'm looking for a girl who {whatever qualities you're seeking}.

>>33398863
>>33398882
Kind of sounds like a job screening.
>>33398868
"wanna have fun?" is not something I'd usually say. I'm kind of serious, although I can joke from time to time.
I want to talk over lunch and learn more about her, but I don't know how to articulate it in a non-chalant manner since I have to initiate first communications. I also don't know if that's considered too mature for 2 people in their early 20s. I like a nice talk over food, but it might be too old-fashioned.

>>33398592 (OP)
Literally just say hello and ask how her day is going. Introduce yourself and suggest lunch or ice cream outting. Maybe a walk in the park or to the farmers market, if your area has something like that?
If you are that worried about how she will respond, ask your mutual friend to reach out to her and see if she would be interested in getting to know you.

>hey whats up im anon, anon2s friend
>how did u meet him?
oh cool i met him in xxxx, hes a cool guy, we used to blahblahblah
>do you want get lunch or a coffee when youre free?
>i love this sushi place on xxxx (bitches love sushi)
>cool, ill text you on friday! (excited emoji)

>"Is it a good day today or a work day *skull emoji*
This is what I've settled on as the first message along with the greeting. Am I over analyzing or does this sound super retarded? I've been staring at the message for an hour.

>>33398592 (OP)
Don't overthink it. She's already interested in you. Just don't say anything completely insane and you'll be fine. Don't communicate in text, btw: call her. Have a conversation.

I just introduced myself and asked how their day's been . I threw my phone and I can't even bear to look at it, I'm so anxious.

>>33401329
This is fine. So far nobody has given you any good advice, so disregard anything in this thread
I don't have a lot of tips other than you don't need to end conversation with a farewell. Just let it die out / carry over to the next day
The more casual you make it, the better. Throw in humor at any chance you got. And try to escalate to meeting in person sooner than later

You'll probably fumble it, but you'll get some practice out of it. 23 is not too late to learn

>>33401416
What if I really don't feel drive to talk about anything but I like the way she looks? What am I supposed to be wanting to know about this if really want to be around a person like this?

>>33401655
>What if I really don't feel drive to talk about anything but I like the way she looks?
Then you need to be honest with her about the fact that you are not looking for anything at all except sex. Chances are she's not looking for a casual fuck and will shoot you down, but there's nothing to be gained from lying.

Relax, try to be casual with your writing, not too formal or dumpy, but have in mind that you cant be totally as carefree as if you were talking to some close friend. If you seem to be connecting, don't be too pushy, try to understand if talking about certain topics would be too awkward at the moment, or if you really want, test the waters before touching such topics with tamer conversations (like hypotheticals without making yourseld the subject of the idea, or experiences/opinions she has on related topics)

If you do NOT connect, don't force it. Have some dignity and just let it go if she ghosts you or it seems like she only wants some orbiter or simp. The world doesnt end just because a wahman does not find you attractive

Heyy with two y's is crazy.
AM I in the money?

If she was the one who gave you her number, I mean technically you could throw the ball to her court and see what she has in mind.
Or if you feel like you're just causing a plunder, you can just say that you are a very bad tester so what if you meet out one day. You mentioned lunch which I could go for if you're both at college and have canteens around, but otherwise it's just best to meet for coffee and e.g. go for a walk. This should establish enough rapport that texting will also be easier later.

its crazy but it works

>>33403618
No I’m meant she replied to me with two y’s
I’m trying to organically bring up inviting her out but we keep ending up talking about work or something else unrelated.
I guess I should be glad she’s still responding but we have the same friend so she might just find it awkward if she ghosted me.

One of the most common mistakes you can do is to assume she's not into you. And it's not a script, you can't plan the whole asking out part. If you feel like you want to chat more before asking her out, do that. Chances that you make dumb mistakes are elevated when you push yourself to forcibly ask or do something.
