#relationship #conversation #dating #psychology #philosophy #friends #friendship When engaging with someone new on b00, immediately asking them what they are looking for on here can often feel invasive and off-putting. This direct approach, especially when focused on romantic intentions, can give the impression that you are eager to rush into romantic gestures before taking the time to understand the person on a deeper level. Such behavior tends to push people away, as it neglects the important initial phase of building rapport and establishing mutual comfort. Instead of diving straight into questions about romantic interests, it's more considerate and effective to start by getting to know the individual. Engage in light, friendly conversation to discover shared interests, values, and experiences. This approach not only eases any initial tension but also lays a foundation for genuine connection, whether it evolves into friendship or something more. By prioritizing a gradual and respectful exchange of information, you allow both parties to feel more at ease and open to the possibility of a meaningful relationship. The key to any strong relationship, romantic or platonic, is understanding and mutual respect, which can only be cultivated through patient and thoughtful interaction.

It sounds sketchy indeed I wonder why they ask? Sometimes I feel is for bad intentions or is just my cynical nature thinking that way? Or perhaps its sounds kinda dehumanizing? Perhaps its just trying to rush it and then trying to get a quick cheat code to see if they can take advantage of you or not? Not sure maybe I'm overthinking or over reacting but I never asked such thing to someone, sometimes it also makes me think they didn't read my bio and completely ignored it so makes me think why is this person talking to me in the first place when this person doesn't have any interest either way?

If someone likes and cares about you they will put forth the effort to get to know you. If they are using you or only interested in themselves they will push for their own gain quickly.

I want to ensure that we have the same goals. Connecting with someone seeking something different doesn't make sense.

Exactly. Even on actual dating apps, like okcupid, there's actually a category on your main profile page, that asks that. So I hate when people ask me that in a conversation. To me, if I'm only a few messages into a conversation with someone, and they asked me something like that, then I'm already on edge and alarms are going off in my head. I'm likely already tense and nervous as it is, and now you got me thinking that you're looking to jump into a marriage or something. I feel like I'm being judged and critiqued, and we'll find a way to disengage from that topic, or even the entire conversation.

I ask if it's not in their bio. I'm not wasting my time or theirs if they're just wanting something casual or an encounter and not looking for anything long term.

I didn't ask before when I began dating and I do read bios so after many times of connecting with the wrong person, I started asking recently because: 1. I'm convinced reading bios is taboo to people. I read them and know what a person wants and move on if it's not the same. However, not a two way street for some people. 2. Some people can have a bio for a long time and not change it. So they may have wanted a relationship/friendship before but now they don't want that and they didn't update their bio. 3. Their bio could be a front to their actual intentions. Nobody wants to waste time with a poser. Otherwise, I understand that perspective. In a perfect world, where people read bios and aren't trying to play you, I wish no one would have to ask that question.

When I'm reading comments it will scroll back up to a comment highlighted in blue. I think it's when someone likes that comment. But damn is it annoying to keep getting pulled away from where I'm at in the comments. Can I turn that off?

Imagine looking for someone because you like him and when you find him and send him a request, he rejects it. 😭. It's ok, I'm not what he wants. I don't hate him for it.

Is the 16 type something you take seriously, or anecdotally? Does it determine whether or not you decide to match with someone?

I don't understand. A million people will pass through my Souls page or whatever. I leave a like or a comment for half of them (usually engaging the ones who ask for it). Zero responses. Is it me? Or do you have to pay extra to see their replies?
