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!

Thank you for posting!! I like your response. It actually felt like a haiku 🙂 Yet it was very clear (to me) what your vibe is.

Not familiar with left 4dead2, but will check it out.

I may edit my original post… although I don’t think I can come up with a good description.

It can be tough to see the positive in a compliment. I get it. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself though.

More people than you think do what you do. There entire lifestyles based on it.

I can’t and won’t try to change your mind… again, all I can do is ask you to not be so hard on yourself. One compliment at a time.

Thank you for sharing.

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!!

That would be a completely acceptable answer! An answer this person might have given as well. Which would make things awkward after that. You perspective is noted.

Thanks!!

You got me!! You saw through it! I’m trying to profile all of Lemmy with this one… and failing miserably!

🙃😁

Oooffff! Funny!! Yeah, that is pretty prevalent on Lemmy 🤣

I walked right into that one!! An upvote has been given 😂

I can absolutely see that as a way this question could be interpreted. It felt like a “bright idea” at the time but, not so much now. My plan is to just keep letting things play out as they have been.

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!!

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!! 🙂

Not sure I follow. Would you be willing to expand on this?

I also apologize. I met someone IRL and this question came to mind. I have not asked for / seen any social media profiles.

However you are correct, they could have something posted that “sums them up”. I’m just not aware. We just recently met.

Appreciate the response!!

Straight and to point, well played!! I guess the direct response is the best! Appreciate it 🙂
