This is a great excuse to text someone that you don't know that well. The advice could be about anything: what class to take, where's the best ice cream place in town, what book you should read. Incorporate a compliment to be more flirty. Text her: "I don't know which classes to pick for next semester and you're the smartest girl around. Advice?" Or, "You sang so beautifully at the choir concert yesterday! Any song recs? I need more music." Make it a joke by pretending it's urgent. "I need help with an urgent question: what's the best ice cream in town?" Even if you don't know the girl, it's generally safe to assume that she likes listening to music, watching TV, or reading books. You can tell her you just finished a TV show, or are looking for new tunes. Text something like, "I just finished "Derry Girls." So good! Any new show recs to fill this hole in my heart?" This is really sweet and proves that she's been on your mind, even if you don't know her too well. If you've got a crush on a cute girl in your class, this is a good way to send her a first message out of the blue. Text something like, "Was just listening to the Les Mis soundtrack and I remembered how awesome you were in the spring musical. What's up?" Mention something that you have in common. For example, "Just ran into Mr. Trevor at the grocery store. Lol so awkward. Don't know how I would survive that class without your funny comments." If you've just got the number of a cute girl in your class, or you're messaging her on social media, asking her to study is the perfect excuse to get together. If you want to make it a bit more flirty, use the word "date." Text, "Can't believe how much homework Mr. L gave us Homework date this weekend?" Or make her the hero by texting, "I am dying here trying to study for the bio test. Save me?" When you're sending the first message to a girl you just matched with on a dating app, don't just say, "Hey," or tell the girl that she looks pretty. Prove that you've taken the time to read her bio by mentioning something in it. For example, if her bio says she likes to watch Friends, you could say, "So are you more of a Rachel, a Phoebe, or a Monica?" If it says she likes reading, ask her what's her favorite book she's read recently. If she doesn't have anything specific in her bio, ask her a question on one of her photos. For example, "That view looks gorgeous! Where is it?" Remember, the point of a dating app is not to talk forever virtually, but to set up a time to meet in person. So after you've established a bit of friendly banter, go ahead and ask her out. You won't really know if you two get along until you meet in person. Be direct and clear, and suggest a plan. Say something like, "Can I take you out to coffee this week? There's a new cafe on Teresa Street with killer pastries." Or say, "Would love to continue this chat in person. How about drinks at Benni's on Friday?" If she's not free the time you suggest, ask her when she is free.

Summary: Text the girl for advice if you have her number. Ask the girl for a recommendation to get the conversation started. Send her a "thought of you" text to show your sweet side. Ask a girl in your class on a study date as an excuse to hang out. Reference a girl's bio when messaging her on a dating app. Ask her out on a date after a bit of banter on a dating app.
