How Many Guys Are in a Girl’s Dm at Every Given Time?

I did a social experiment on my social media and this is the answer I got

I’ll start with a little confession. I’ve asked a couple of girls out in my life with varying degrees of success. Sometimes, there was chemistry and we hit it right off. Other times, I was turned down or worse, ignored.

The times when I’ve been ignored hurt the most. I mean, how can you pretend like I didn’t just send you a text asking you out to dinner? It is obvious you read the text because Instagram says you did, so how can you just leave me on read? Do I look like a fly to you?

When the chemistry is right and there is a connection, the adrenaline can be amazing; those times when you smile softly to a text and then you realize, “damn! She makes me smile”.

Yesterday, I had an emergency. I had to re-submit my passport in person for some application I was doing, but I was out of time. Luckily, Elena is a good friend of mine and she was able to come through for me. As a show of thanks, I told Elena I would bring her some flowers when I come back to town at the weekend. I won’t lie, her reply surprised me a bit.

She told me not to worry about the flowers. Three guys are currently asking her out, so was sure she would get some flowers anyway.

Three guys? At the same time?

This got me thinking about all the times I tried to ask a lady out. I must have slid into her DMs feeling all fly and mighty. But how many guys were in her DMs at the same time? What an interesting question.

Out of curiosity, I did a little social experiment. I asked a couple of my female friends the same question. The question was ‘How many guys are asking you out on average at every given time’.

And then the responses started pouring in.

“Actually, three guys have already asked me what my plans for the weekend are”.

This was the first reply I got.
