Thanks! Me too 😆

Appreciate the response and positive vibe! However, the person in question isn’t in to me “that way”. Time for me to move on 🙂

Haha, no worries! This question wasn’t mandatory 🙂

Sevendust, Yellowjackets, The Cure, Mozart this would be enough variety for me…

I appreciate the thought… unfortunately that’s not really how my brain is wired. However, I will make a point of asking about their relationship status.

I believe that’s probably going to be the best immediate next step. Would probably clear up a lot of things.

Thanks for posting!!

And then say thank you after paying…

Fair points related to all the “could be” statements you have. My gut leans toward the last one, as it wouldn’t be the first time haha.

I’ve been wanting to do that, but it just seemed to be a “right time” kind of question in our conversations. I will work it in soon, to get some answer… real or fake.

Sure, always have to put it out there and see what happens. Just getting a little tired of it failing miserably more often than I would like.

Thank you so much for your perspective and comments!!

FBI… maybe… NSA… little less likely… Facebook… NEVER!!! 🤣

Interesting in and of itself, the use of AI for this simple question. But, I should assume AI will always be a factor in any discussions on the internet.

Nice rhyming game that’s starting up here!!

Unsend a message to someone I just met, with my phone number. I’m now scared of the potential consequences (good or bad)!!

This is great!! I would like to think my response would be this specific yet, IMO, this witty too.

As long as she’s still your wife, that’s what counts 🙂

Appreciate you taking the time to respond!!!

Nah, your fashionable coming to the party 🙂

Right! Agreed, context is important. I think this particular question won’t be used, at least not the way I originally thought it would. My “idea” was to get away from the back and forth of questioning.

As an example… you ask someone if they consider themselves an introvert. They answer and they “how about you?”. I originally thought maybe they would be able to just tell things about themselves and I could ask follow up questions. All without it being back and forth.

Having said that, I do realize that is as much my ability to make things interesting in the conversation as well.

Yeah, I remember the a/s/l days. I’m glad those are gone haha. Yes, social media in the current context is terrible for true social interactions. I don’t think that’s the point of it anymore though, well corporate social media anyway.

For context we met IRL, but there’s some distance between us so hanging out is challenging. Your point is valid about not making them uncomfortable. That’s my ultimate goal and your (and others) opinion have been a great help!!

Thank you so much!

Interesting, this feels rather scientific in the thought process. Or, someone who digs psychology at least.

I think my initial thought for the question was more light hearted. A few things to describe yourself.

Also, not sure this would be headed toward life partner status. Still, you bring up an interesting thought.

I will give this some consideration and make my own list. May still prove valuable as I explore things with this person.

Appreciate you making me think but, not too hard haha!

Thank you for posting!! I like your response. It actually felt like a haiku 🙂 Yet it was very clear (to me) what your vibe is.

Not familiar with left 4dead2, but will check it out.

I may edit my original post… although I don’t think I can come up with a good description.

It can be tough to see the positive in a compliment. I get it. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself though.

More people than you think do what you do. There entire lifestyles based on it.

I can’t and won’t try to change your mind… again, all I can do is ask you to not be so hard on yourself. One compliment at a time.

Thank you for sharing.

That’s a fair response. A bit extreme IMO but everyone has a different perspective on this.

For context, it would have been asked during a phone call not a message. However, they could have hung up and never said anything to me again.

The final consensus, for me, is this question should be left out of the conversation.

I do appreciate you taking the time to provide your perspective, thanks!!

That would be a completely acceptable answer! An answer this person might have given as well. Which would make things awkward after that. You perspective is noted.

Thanks!!

You got me!! You saw through it! I’m trying to profile all of Lemmy with this one… and failing miserably!

🙃😁

Oooffff! Funny!! Yeah, that is pretty prevalent on Lemmy 🤣
