A Man Asked Me Out On LinkedIn Is Either A Wake Up Or Hopelessly Romantic

Is LinkedIn the new Tinder?

This seems to be the case for some people, as one woman on TikTok revealed that a man slipped into her private messages, asking her out via LinkedIn, a popular social media platform for business and employment.

User Hanna Harmelin shared the details of the incident in a viral video that has over 741,000 views. This has sparked debate among commentators about whether this is an acceptable modern dating practice.

“Hey Hanna, I’m skipping the line on the dating app and going straight to your place,” the man’s message read, as seen in her video. “Aggressive move, hiccup.

The message continued: “Life is too short not to do what I am very interested in. I am glad to communicate, regardless of your openness for meetings.

To top it all off, the mysterious man signed his note: “Best Wishes.”

“This man really came to my LINKEDIN,” she wrote in blue text in a 5-second clip, in which Harmelyn also puts a pair of black sunglasses on her face.

The Post approached Harmelyn for a statement.

In the comment section of her video, many users called the man a bold request, with one even calling it an “honestly alarming flag” and another agreeing, writing, “Sir, I’m using this to advance my career, not to search for a mount.”

“I’m not sure about this, I prefer it to be professional on LinkedIn,” someone else admitted.

“I would still be weird because LinkedIn is not a dating app,” wrote one person.

Others, however, praised him for this – and, in addition, urged Harmelin to give the guy a chance.


"It's honestly a red flag lol" one user commented.

The user suggested, “Maybe I’m just toxic, but I’m obsessed with it and you should definitely give it a try lol.”

One TikToker commented, “How I instantly fell in love with him.”

Another was tickled by his signature.

“Best wishes, who said romance is dead ,” they wrote.

Someone even revealed that they had done the same thing before, recalling, “LOL, did it once. The girl accepted my invitation, read the message, and then deleted me! We need to know what happened next and your feedback!!

This isn’t the first time someone has used an unconventional method to try and find an online date – one couple found love on language learning app Duolingo and ended up tying the knot last month.

Others are turning to Venmo, the mobile payment app, to try and make a splash. In one case, someone paid a woman $5 for trying to get her phone number.
