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!!

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!!!

If I were if fact a dog… I would consider it. However, I will need to pass. My sincerest apologies.

Cheese!! Sure, this counts… if you want to be an AI, who am I to say no 🙂

Sure, it could be seen as an elevator pitch type question. Some of my thought process was to get away from one to one questions.

Meaning… I ask are you an introvert, they respond and say “how ‘bout you”? I thought (originally) this might be a different take, to allow them the opportunity to throw something out there or free form an answer. If that makes sense… I’m getting tired ha!

However, it feels more and more like this wouldn’t be a good question.

I also appreciate you providing your description. It’s always interesting to see how people see themselves versus how others see them.

Thank you so much!!

Glad I could help nudge you along this week!

Thank you for responding!

☹️ I would never ask someone to do something they didn’t want to do.

I also understand that introspection can be a difficult thing. That may be why I can’t really answer this myself.

You aren’t alone.

Thank you so much sharing too, it actually brings up a point that, the person I met may not feel comfortable responding.

Interesting, I didn’t even think someone would do a literal description… from a physical perspective.

I already know they look like but, yeah, more context is always a good thing.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond!!

True, true, I’m leaning toward not using that question in future conversation.

I appreciate you providing perspective. I was hoping folks from the collective would have different responses / thoughts on this.

Now this is fun response!! Others have commented that my question would be to “ick” for lack of better term.

Your answer was another perspective I thought of for this. Light hearted and fun. The person I met seems to have a great sense of humor.

Thank you so much for sharing!!

Don’t forget Panama…

There’s also the Sevendust version from Southside Double-wide Acoustic Live… just to stir the pot a little more 🙂

This was funny and disturbing at the same time… thanks for the link 🙂

Just a suggestion but take a look at this list… all of them should be either open source or at least free (trials, lite versions, etc.).

Find out what you use at work and see if there’s a trial version or if they use open source.

If not most of these tools are known and you may be able to find help online (forums, Lemmy, Reddit, etc.).

Yeah but… will they actually remember where they buried their acorns?

I thought the same thing!!

May not be the best or easiest way to find content but PeerTube maybe an alternative to YouTube.

As others have said… YouTube (like Discord, GitHub, etc.) has “the numbers”. Everything else is fighting an uphill battle… even if it’s a better alternative.
