Not sure about this. It gets dangerously close to “Now for an ice breaker, why don’t we go around the room and tell each other a little not about ourselves.”
Real 4-year-olds are not always as forthcoming as Katie. You’re welcome to respond with solemn silence while holding the tattered shred of your 40-year-old blankie you carry in your pocket. Equally valid.
I have no energy for social games and I give no shits. When I’m asked to share a fun fact about myself as an ice breaker I’ll stare at the room with no expression and monotone “my fun fact is that l can’t stand ice breakers”
Instant friends.
I… would love this idea.
I’m autistic and this would really simplify things tbh
Right? I don’t usually behave like this in professional or formal environments, but in every other situation, I try to give myself permission to be me. Fuck it. Be weird.
No, be yourself. If that gets you labeled weird by them, then it’s their loss. Wasn’t going to be a compatible relationship anyway.
Hey, weird does not automatically mean bad. The people I most like to hang with are really weird people.
Same, and I basically just actually do this.
…would probably have to be drunk to do the last line, though.
Why do I do this?
If you find that intro immensely offputting… I will likely find you immensely insufferable.
Communication still works two ways, even if the normies play by different rules.
I would be enthusiastic and honored if you approached me like that
This would be amazing.
My follicular challenges notwithstanding, I like Katie and would want to be her friend.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Uhhhh you can? This is basically what I do. The key is to just not give a shit and accept that not everyone is gonna respond.
The inigo montoya style: Step 1: Give a polite greeting.
Step 2: State your name.
Step 3: Establish a personal connection.
Step 4: Manage expectations of the relationship.
“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
FYI,
You can do single line
breaks on Lemmy. Just
put 2 spaces at the end
of a line before the Enter.Nice, I looked up some markup, but this one’s new to me. Thanks!
That’s ideally what people would put in their dating profile.
Ive basically done this with one or two discord friends. Met them through mutual friends though so there was some level of “trust tbat we’re the same kind of weirdo” already there
Hi Katie. I don’t have any friends. I like vodka and people who don’t comment on my thinning hair. You’re being a real bitch right now.
this made me laugh, this is how some of my clients have introduced them self. Sometimes it can be all their hobbies and what not for 5-10 mins and then they add “oh and my title is x and this is my expectations” lol
Know what? Next time I ask a woman out…
“Hi I’m [Redacted], I’m [Redacted]yo. I like photography and nature walks and my cats. You’re really pretty and seem cool, you wanna eat lunch together?”
(Fuck actually now that I type that out, it’s actually just a less eloquent phrasing of my current approach. Well. Consarn it.)
“Hi, I’m George Kastanza, I’m 38 and I live with my parents.”
You skipped the brain dump about vim keybindings.
Am a woman, would be down for someone asking me out like that. I now know something about you, I know your thoughts about me and don’t have to guess, and you’re putting forward a suggestion of what to do.
Hi, I’m the ex-World’s dumbest man, you have a cool username, I don’t actually want to date.
Want to go fight in a videogame of your choosing?
Tbh, it feels way more honest and real than most guys cheesy pickup lines. I’d probably engage with someone who approached me like that.
The last young lady who told me an interesting fact about dinosaurs was on my mind for a month.
What was the interesting fact?
Spock played a key role in their extinction.
It’s terrible but I don’t remember, over time was replaced by her pretty face in my brain.
Maybe it was "Pterosaurs are sneaky in the bathroom because their pee is silent. "
