You sound like yellow in this conversation, not understanding that dating is about getting to know someone from the outside in. You gotta start somewhere, like a favorite song. You can’t jump straight to childhood trauma or politics or something or it will never work. Trust takes time.

It sounded pushy to me when the person kept pressing the song question after yellow deflected it, but ok. Thanks.

First, they’re gobsmacked that they wouldn’t answer it. Then it becomes obvious it’s a red flag. Finally they know they’ll never meet this person in real life, so why not fuck with them.

I’m saying, it’s a journey.

Ic, makes sense. Tell me something else, do those "normies" (I haven't met very many) actually have substantial text conversations on those annoying on screen phone keyboards? I can stand one or two texts that way, but then want to move to a real computer.

Yeah, for sure. People will just tap away literally all day.
