Hello class. Welcome to another lesson on the navigation of the wild world of Direct Messages. Some of you might be a little confused by the title. Swift water rescue? What does that have to do with DM diving?? Well, take a second to think about it... Anything? Yup! You guessed it. We're exploring the social media platform known as Snapchat!
For the record, Snapchat DM diving is a lot easier to master than people think. You just have to use the tools available to achieve your goal. Now that a few changes have been made, it's no sweat at all. Before you had to hold your finger on the screen in order to play a Snap. Not anymore. You just touch to view. Now a lot of people felt that the long press of the screen discouraged screenshots, you aren't one of them. We all know that on Snapchat, if you take a screenshot of a person's post, it alerts them. To a would be DM diver, this is an underwater cave waiting to be explored!
The first thing you do is find the young lady that you're interested in. Personally, I like to wait until my Instagram crushes post their Snapchat information. Take a screenshot of their Snapcode, then it's just a matter of using the add by Snapcode feature on the app. Get added back, and you're in there!
Now it's time for you to get noticed. You want to set yourself up for a favorable outcome. It may sound hard, but it couldn't be more simple. Just post Snaps! Give the people what they want. Be yourself. All you need is for your target to see you. Have her view a few videos and your odds are definitely going up. However, keep in mind that some people simple open Snaps & tap the screen to clear the stories. It's nothing to worry about, just something to remember.
Now that you're suited up, its time to jump in the water. Listen very carefully and follow my instructions. Go to the young lady's story, open it, and take a screenshot of her. Make sure that it's a selfie and make sure that she looks ridiculously attractive. Wait, stop right there. Don't say it. I already know what you're thinking. "But Snapchat tells users when someone takes a screenshot of them!" Exactly! Keep reading...
This is perhaps the most important step! As soon as you screenshot, dive! Jump directly into the DM. You want to let the person know, that you know, that they know you took a screenshot of them. Plus, this gives her two notifications instead of the one. Always a good thing. Now, in your message, send something along the lines of, "Yes, I just took a screenshot of you. Someone asked me who the most attractive person on my Snapchat was. The way I was talking, they wouldn't believe me without proof."

Listen! If she doesn't respond to a message like that, you never had a chance. Move on.
Chances are she responds. When she does, throw that rope around her waist & pull her to the safety of your SMS inbox! This water moves quickly. You must be quicker! Even a simple "thanx" from her is taken as a sign of interest. Remember, 3 messages or less. Keep that app-to-text transition time to a minimum. God speed.
