LinkedIn the new Tinder? Jaipur man shares sweet email from admirer who couldn't DM. Internet melts
In a digital age where professional networks often bleed into personal moments, a heartwarming—and slightly bold—gesture from a stranger has won the internet's affection. A Jaipur-based man named Kartik B became an unexpected poster boy for modern-day charm when he received a sweet, unconventional message from someone who couldn't slide into his DMs on LinkedIn—and decided to email him instead. When the DMs Are Shut, the Inbox Opens Kartik took to LinkedIn to share a screenshot of an email he received from an anonymous admirer who wanted to connect—but faced LinkedIn's limitations on messaging non-connections. The sender, determined yet respectful, turned to a secondary email address and sent a message that's now making waves online for its honest and utterly endearing tone. The email began with a simple 'Hi!' and launched into what can only be described as a modern love note with millennial flair. 'I'm trying to do this in the most respectful way possible… not sure if you're with anyone or even interested, but what the hey,' the message read. The sender confessed to developing a 'little crush' on Kartik, praising his profile for radiating 'good vibes' and even calling his portfolio 'cool AF.'
