Man that's fucking tedious. Thing I like about in-person meetings, which is the only way I've ever ended up in a relationship with someone, is that I don't have to be a fucking salesman and can just be me.
- mettamage 4y agoI do both. The dating landscape has changed, or so it seems. I time capsuled for 10 years (2 long-term relationships that happened quickly one after another). Imagine my shock when I noticed many people are online now. I meet people IRL (actually right now I just met someone on the train :P). But it really does have a different feel to it nowadays.
- ambicapter 4y agoDid you go up and initiate conversation with that person on the train? I feel like interacting with strangers has been heavily discouraged in the US but it's really the best way to expand your social circle.
- mettamage 4y agoYea I initiated by saying: I like your scarf-jacket combo. Did you match it on purpose? Note: when giving a compliment, expect nothing in return. Simply know that you prefer a conversation but be ready to jump out at a moment’s notice when she isn’t feeling it. Her: haha, no I always have this scarf Me: even with a deep purple coat? Her: even then… Me: oh god… going to Berlin? Her: yep, you? Me: same, I think almost everyone is going to Berlin Her: I guess yea Me: so what are you up to there? Etc.
