  • Some more thoughts on dating

    From a conversation with my friend Yong Doo:

    Mark: Some friends want to set me up on dates.
    YD: It would look good if you got a job.
    M: I guess. On the other hand, if I were unemployed and we kept dating, then I would know that she likes me for who I am!

    M: So I got this advice about talking to girls. Apparently you're supposed to ask open-ended questions, not close-ended ones. And you should make a lot of statements from the 'I' perspective about how you feel about things, so she can get to know you and so the conversation is balanced.
    YD: What did you do before?
    M: I dunno. I guess I asked some questions and made a lot of jokes.
    YD: Don't make jokes.
    M: Why not?
    YD: Well, your sense of humor is different from a lot of people.
    M: Wait, what are you saying?

  • somehow if she doesn't get your humor, she probably wouldn't be very fun to have around... you should test this through IM'ing with her, because your written humor is quite witty, unless of course, she doesn't get it.

  • don't use poker terminology either. 

  • I was told to not ask "yes/no" type questions. That must be why girls don't like it when I ask "do you like me?"
