I’d like to hear especially from girls in Sfax.

What’s the best way for a guy to approach a girl on social media (Facebook or Instagram) without coming off as weird or annoying?

If you don’t know each other personally but have mutual connections, what kind of first message feels respectful and genuine?

Also, what are the biggest mistakes guys make?

There’s a girl on Facebook I’m interested in and I thought about messaging her.

The issue is I think her cousin works with me, so I’m worried it might get awkward if she tells him.

I’d only send a respectful casual message, nothing weird. Am I overthinking this?
