Do takeaways apply here?

Hey Alex, I decided to try IG game following your videos, but in them you said takeaways like "are you always this talkative" (which is what I would normally say) don't apply because they're too aggressive for the situation (unlike cold approach / dating apps). is the correct move to just re-open the convo? for example, by saying "how's your weekend going" / "how was your weekend". Context is that i saw her on my FYP, followed, dm'd, she followed back, i liked a few photos, then she responded. She's been watching the stories but hasn't opened the message (pretty sure she's seen it though).
