Hi, so I've been trying to get in contact with more girls through social media, both snapchat and Instagram. Usually I reply to their story and we get a good conversation but, if it goes well, eventually they ask me "Why are you texting me?". Right now I don't have any witty or interesting responses. I'm sure the girls know why I'm DMing them but I feel like I can't just flat out say "Because I think you're beautiful and I want to go on a date with you." I think that's way too direct and it kind of takes away the fun. Any tips?

P.S. sorry mods if this is too specific
