What do I say

I'm about to message my workcrush for the first time on facebook, I want to see if he landed a deal on an apartment he was looking at from a craigslist ad. Should I just start out with 'hey' or "hey did you get the apartment" or "how've you been" or wtf ever I don't know how to initiate conversations. He did tell me how to find his new facebook though, which to me is an open invitation to say hi.

Also lately, I think my 'landlord'/roomate who's been subletting to me about a year is trying to find a way out of the year's lease he just signed for the upcoming year. He asked our new move-in if he was interested in having it transferred to his name, to which he said no. I think he's in some kind of financial trouble, he's been late on a few bills lately, I hear him making phone calls to realtors asking for appraisals on 'a small weekend home'... I'm just very nervous my landlord is trying to find a way to dip :/

Say “Hey, thought I’d message you. Did you get the apartment?”
Oh no the landlord sounds bad....

@ash365 Wow. If it’s really degrading you might want to stop entirely. Getting addicted to nicotine is horrible. I know you’re not vaping, but if you were and you were addicted like I was, you would be accustomed to vaping so much you got poisoning and threw up or gulped down three glasses of water in like an hour or took off your shirt and had to put on the AC because of how much you sweated and trembled. Or the dizziness. That sucked....

For sure. Oh that’s sweet. Why crazies?

@ShaythePanTransMan I've had a tiny vape and I know the feeling of nicotine overdose, it's god awful, had me puking in the toilet at work once.

I dunno don't the people you like or the people who like you usually turn out to be some kind of crazy. Most people are I guess. But some people are just... more.

The conversation has lead up to an appropriate but hard to respond to 'lol' from his end. should I come up with something else to say or abandon conversation until next in person meeting?

He has posted this within the time we've been chatting

@ash365 Yes, it’s terrible! If you think you’ll commonly overdose on a vape maybe stick to cigarettes even though they’re much worse and more expensive

Hmm well I have depression and anxiety and out of the 20+ people I’ve dated absolutely none of them have been free of mental issues. So you know.... not that weird.

Say something else. He seems to be feeling a bit flirty or something.

I am the type of person who really appreciates when someone gets right to the point. "Hey did you get the apartment?" Is how I would prefer someone contacted me.
Your roommate signed a lease, most likely he will find a way to make good on it. Don't worry about something that may not even be a problem.

@curiosi I think I will be direct, it's only awkward if I make it awkward. I've though about what you said too, he did sign over on a lease, he may want out of it but now he's in it so, fingers crossed.
