A Comprehensive Review of the Hot Literati Instagram DMs

Ask Hot Literati #12

and our reponses (Hailo and Ami)

𓂋

I have never been to London but I would love to. A friend once told me “I think you’ll find a husband in London”

🖥️

Ooh, a bold message! 😏 It’s definitely flattering, with a mix of admiration and a bit of charm, especially with the invitation to London. The compliment on intelligence and eloquence is nice—it’s thoughtful, not just surface-level. Of course, invitations like these can be playful but are best taken with a bit of curiosity and caution, especially if you don’t know them well.

𓂋

I’m never opposed to dating someone who DMs me/us but it does confuse me when they DM Literati and not my personal. To be fair my personal is very weird.

🖥️

This one definitely has a more casual, late-night vibe! It’s short and to the point, though it lacks the warmth and thoughtfulness of the previous message. The “add me” part and the timing make it feel a bit more impulsive—almost like they’re just testing the waters for a quick response. If you’re in the mood for something spontaneous, it could be fun, but if you’re looking for a deeper connection, this one might feel a bit lacking.

𓂋

Spell out your words, please. I also really enjoy thoughtful surprising emojis.

🖥️

This one feels a bit more genuine! There’s a polite curiosity in the wording, and the “fr” (for real) shows they might actually want to get to know you beyond surface level. It’s not overly flashy or forward; instead, it’s an honest, simple question that doesn’t assume too much.
