Steps
View all their Stories

They’ll see your name when they check the list of viewers for their Story. When you spot one of their Stories, make sure to watch it immediately since it disappears after 24 hours. Even if you don’t reply or comment, they’ll know you’re interested when they notice you’re keeping up with everything they post.
Phản hồi Story của họ

Một phản hồi nhanh sẽ cho người mà bạn thầm mến biết rằng bạn muốn nói chuyện với họ. Khi lướt trên Story của người ấy, bạn có thể chọn một biểu tượng cảm xúc (emoji) và gửi cho họ như một lời phản hồi. Sau khi bạn chọn một emoji, họ sẽ nhận được thông báo và thấy phản hồi của bạn trong tin nhắn trực tiếp của họ.
- Chọn 😂 nếu người ấy đăng điều gì đó vui nhộn.
- Thử dùng 😍 hoặc 🔥 khi họ đăng một bức ảnh selfie dễ thương.
- Gửi 🎉 hoặc 👏 khi họ ăn mừng điều gì đó.
Hỏi về một chi tiết mà bạn chú ý trên Story của họ

Nhắc đến một chi tiết bạn trông thấy là một cách rất hay để mở đầu cuộc trò chuyện. Nếu có điều gì đó trong Story của người ấy mà bạn thấy thú vị, đừng ngần ngại nêu ra để họ thấy rằng bạn đang chú ý đến họ. Đặt một câu hỏi mở để người kia phải đáp lại dài hơn. Khi đặt câu hỏi là bạn đang cho người ấy biết rằng bạn muốn làm quen với họ và thực sự quan tâm đến câu chuyện mà họ đăng trên Story.
- “Ồ, mình không biết là bạn biết chơi đàn ukulele đấy! Bạn chơi được những bản nhạc nào?”
- “Trời ơi, thấy bạn được xem trực tiếp mà ghen tỵ quá đi!! Nó như thế nào vậy?”
- “Em lúc nào cũng mơ ước được đến New York! Anh đã đi thăm được những nơi nào rồi?”
Tán dương họ bằng một lời khen

They’ll instantly know you’re into them. Mention something about their appearance or something you liked in their Story. Use emojis and exclamation marks to show your enthusiasm. Your crush will smile when they see your response and might even reply to you.
- “Wow 😍 you look stunning in that dress!”
- “Just had to jump in and say you’re AMAZING! You’re so talented!”
- “Did you draw that?! It’s beautiful!”
Post attractive and intriguing Stories

Show off a little to grab their attention and spark their interest. Stories offer a glimpse into your daily life, so let them see what they’re missing. Share a few selfies when you’re looking your best and snap photos of your fun activities. Try to post Stories regularly so they’ll notice and might even message you if they’re interested.
Tailor your Story specifically for them

They’ll know your Story is for them if you mention something they love. Even if your Story is public, your crush will realize you’re trying to catch their attention. Others who don’t get the hint will just see it as a regular post.
- Sing along to a song they’ve posted.
- Talk about a movie they enjoy.
- Share a piece of art or a post from an account they follow.
Tag them in your Story

They’ll get a notification and be eager to check out your Story. This works best if you share a meme or a photo of something they like. Simply add text to your Story, type “@”, and enter their username to tag them. They’ll see your post and might even add it to their own Story if they want.
- “Finally tried the restaurant @YourCrush recommended. Amazing!”
- “OMG 😂 @YourCrush this is hilarious!!”
- “This café totally gives off @YourCrush vibes.”
Add them to your “Close Friends” list

You can make them feel special by sharing private Stories with them. Tap on their profile, hit the “Following” button, then select “Add to Close Friends List,” even if they’re the only one on it! Your crush won’t see anyone else on the list, so it’s a great way to show them your Stories are just for them.
Reply to their Story a few times a week

If you reply to every single one of their Stories, you might come off as too eager. They might feel overwhelmed and pull back if you send them a direct message every time they post something. Give them some space by watching their Stories without replying a few times a week. This way, they’ll feel more special when you do respond.
Keep the conversation going in direct messages

Get to know your crush better to see if you two are a good match. Even when they’re not posting Stories, you can still message them to check in and chat. Don’t hesitate to send a casual text asking how their day is going or if anything new is happening. Use emojis to keep your messages fun and flirty.
- “Hey! 😊 How’s your day going?”
- “Hi 🙂 anything exciting today?”
- “OMG, I just had the craziest day 😩 hope yours was better!”
Try to meet them in person if you seem compatible

You can build a deeper connection by spending time together in real life. While flirting on Instagram is a great way to start a conversation, meeting up in person will help you figure out if there’s real chemistry. Once you feel comfortable chatting, invite them out for coffee or a drink to see if there’s a physical connection.
- If meeting in person isn’t possible, ask if they’d like to talk on the phone or have a video call.
Tips
- Commenting on your crush’s Instagram photos is another great way to flirt.
- If you’re unsure what to say, mention their recent photos and what they’re doing in them.
