  • 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!




  • 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!!







  • Nah, you’re good. Your answer is your answer. I do like the clarifying point about the order of the sentences.

    I agree (or maybe it’s something I do) that a response to a question like this has defined beginning, middle, end.

    Who I was, who I am, who I want to be.

    I think you’re going to make one heck of a team with someone!!

    Thank you so much for responding!! 🙂
