You match with someone then you try to start a convo and they just fucking don’t even try lol. Then it just ends up you asking questions and them answering in the most terse manner possible that stops the convo dead on its tracks. Then you add something to spice things up a bit and they say something like “haha true” and then there’s nothing more you can say so you just ask another question. It feels like I’m moving crates. How does anyone navigate this shit lmao

    Speed run through that shit. If they can’t hold a conversation drop them immediately. Once you actually get into a conversation, even if it’s not a date it’s fun. So you aren’t wasting your time.

    Stories like this are kinda cheesy, but it’s like when a junior professional cook (I don’t remember the official french names for this shit) complains to a more senior one that cutting up hundreds of vegetables is extremely boring and takes forever and they hate doing it. The older cook says “just do it faster then”.

    It’s like that. Just do it faster.
