First message to stranger

[Crazyme44]

I’ve been single for a while and have decided to start dating. A good looking guy from the same town as me has just added me on Facebook and “waved” at me. I fancy starting a conversation, but I don’t know what to say.

What should I say on a first message? I’ve looked at his profile and there isn’t much to go on.

Gosh. I would be careful about what information I had on my facebook that he could see for a start-he's probably restricted what you can view. I'd do the same.

I wouldnt have added him personally, but thats not the point of your OP. So safety lecture done, wave back and see what he does next

Wave back 🤷‍♀️😂

How about..

Hey, do I know you?

😂

When you say there's not much to go on is it because his Facebook is set to private or because his profile is fairly scarce?
These can mean different things.
I'd avoid replying to messages to people who have a very bare and new looking profile, especially if you don't know them.

Yeah be careful!

But usually I'll ask if I know them before accepting anyone

Or

Wave back 😁 I once kept this going back and forth for days until the other person cracked lol

Wave back. Let him start the conversation

I'd be careful if the donation behave and mutual friends and live in the same town as you - it could be a made up profile of some perv, it even worse al wine you already know with a second account.

The donation of?? If 'he doesn't have' that was meant to say

I’d wave back and let him do the chasing

Do you actually know him in real life? If not, then reverse image search his photo and check the goodlooking guy is actually him and not some stock google image of 'handsome man.' You could be the victim of a romance scammer, so be careful.

Alternatively this could be the start of a beautiful relationship and I have watched too much Catfish.

I would assume this was some sort of scam, and I am not even at all cyclical.

He's a catfish.

Tread carefully. A local bloke did that to me too having seen me at a social event. Chatted back and fourth a bit, he got a bit inappropriate so I checked his page, he had one picture, no friends, no posts, no cover photo - nothing. So, I searched his name on Facebook and found his real Facebook page.

with his girlfriend all over it
