I am in Europe and texting with girls in their mid to late 20s.

I've been doing online dating for a couple of years now and now how to hold a decent conversation and then go for a date quickly.

Last week I started texting girls on insta when they put their insta in their dating bio.

I feel like texting on insta and not on a dating app is totally different. On dating apps a "what have you been up to last weekend?" Worked most of the time for me. But now I am not sure what to talk about, if these easy smalltalk topics work, and how quickly to ask for a date. Is it okay to ask for a date after 5-10 messages?

What are your strategies when texting girls on insta?
