This dude just casually handing out the secret to being a good conversationalist. Ask questions, listen to the answers and follow them like a trail of breadcrumbs. All of a sudden you're having a conversation, and you won't be worrying about your courage
Which works great until the other person responds with 2-5 words max every time you ask a question (dating apps)
That's a good thing, imagine if you ended up with that person.
I do and have been but there's only so many times I can try
k

ngl dat flips
brb ohio
Honestly at least that would convey a bit of personality lol
Yeah trying to have a conversation on a dating app is like pissing into the wind
Edit: interesting username, is that a reference to the old flash player gnash?
No it's something I came up with when I was 10 and it stuck. Not really a reference to anything
Those people aren't a good match for you (or maybe anyone).
i'll never cease to be amazed at how much the old ways still work.
