Don’t be a creep. Send encouragement if you are sincere. Words of encouragement are so powerful. People honestly need so little affirmation to help get through some of the darkest of times. Maybe a person needs that, or a laugh. I’m always open to send and receive if it’s coming from a place of sincerity. Who knows the power it might have. If the person doesn’t respond back don’t take offense, move on and know you might have helped.2

All of that can be done with a post or comment on the profile. If this is your sincere intention then a DM is completely unnecessary.7 -

I think I've gotten to old to DM. I'm not interesting and I don't play along with the flirt/recipe exchanging game. Booooorrrringg.4

Do not initiate or fall for the "If I was there right now" scenario4
-
make no effort whatsoever to remember their name and just give them a nickname instead because lets be honest a fake name is good enough sometimes anyhow9

For what it's worth... I've done that before (not sure if to you or not, just speaking generally) with exactly ZERO intent/inferences "between the lines". I did mean it as only a simple compliment. I've since stopped though, because interweb.4 -

Sadly, the number of negative experiences that many experience has outweighed the number of positive, that unfortunately the worst is often assumed.3 -

Yea... that's why I stopped. Unsolicited compliments from and unknown man, via the internet... even if my intentions were sincere I doubt things were received that way.
And even someone wasn't as jaded and skeptical as me, I've come to realize that the person sending the message is more important than the actual message. A message sent from someone you know/like can be interpreted very differently than that same message from someone you don't know. So I pretty much just keep my keyboard silent these days.5
