Ciel0 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I've been Snapchatting a guy for about 2-3 weeks. I don't send photos of myself but of various things that I find interesting. He is popular; his SC score is over 1000. He has a following on the internet, however I wouldn't consider him an internet celebrity. He has made multiple posts inviting anyone of his internet followers to send him Snaps. I don't know him personally, but he accepted me as a friend on Snapchat. I've sent him 6 Snaps in the span of 2-3 weeks. He has opened each one but hasn't responded. He is very interested in dreams so I decided to send him a text chat that said "I just had two false awakenings! :0 Kinda spooky ". I thought this would get a response for sure but he only read it. I'm worried that this came off as weird! I'm quite socially inept so I don't know for sure. I've considered deleting my current account and making a new one, but I'm worried he would find out. I really like this guy a lot and don't want him to think I'm odd. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. Edited June 11, 2014 by Ciel0
PegNosePete Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Er let me get this straight, you've never met him, just stalked him a bit on a social media site. And you want tips on how to get a date with him? Did you ever think about maybe just asking him? 1

I just wanted to know if I came off as odd in my Snapchat message, if I'm reading into it too much, ect. Socialization isn't my strong point.
deathandtaxes Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 You're reading too much, especially if you've never met the guy in person. 2

Yes.......................you are reading WAY too much into it - because you literally don't have anything to read. He hasn't sent you anything to read.... ....so why get your shorts in a knot over zero? Social media has been known to make Social heavyweights crazy. It's full of protocols, pretensions and unknown mysteries that sometimes a Rhodes scholar can't figure out. If socialization isn't your strong point - I'd strongly suggest testing your wings on softer, kinder air currents. Try something in-person. Mysteries tend to be less mysterious in the three dimensional world. 3

ExpatInItaly Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 It's not a weird snap. But he doesn't know you, and you don't know him. You're working yourself up over nothing. Think of how many Snaps he gets in a day. I don't mean to be rude or insensitive, but yours are among a huge pile and he probably doesn't give them a heck of a lot of thought. There is absolutely no need to delete your account. 2
Assasda Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Tell him that you want to get to know him a little better. Then tell him, that youre into some of the things that he's into then talk to him about your dream stuff. Right now, youre some unknown stranger. Try to make yourself a friend 1

There is absolutely no need to delete your account. Exactly! You're just another handle on his roster of followers. I'm sure you're not the only person snapping and sharing things with him. What makes you stand out from the others? Nothing at the moment. If you want to know him better and start the ball rolling in the right direction, then get it started by doing what Assanda said. However, be prepared for the fact that he might NOT be interested in you or any of it. Not everyone on social media is looking to hook-up or date followers/fans and you need to not only understand this but respect it. Creating a new account is, in my opinion, not only desperate but really creepy. Don't be that girl. Good luck. 1
