It’s quite alright to assume we will end up with the wrong people. We’re not that smart and we can’t really see the future. No pressure.

😂🫂 well thanks for the vote of confidence

I tend to think pressure and pretense when it comes to this sort of stuff often make things worse, not better.

The more important skillset is what happens when you come up against disappointment. Error corrections.

A good first date question: what makes you a difficult person to live with?

You can gauge how well people actually know themselves. The people that say effectively nothing probably has no idea who they are. And those are the people that are very difficult to error correct with.

Oooooh that’s a good one

We all love to tell each other how you should be selective, find the one, because you deserve it, etc.

And you do and should.

But also should be there for your relatioships and yourself, because life's better when they function well.

I'm of the mind the the success of centuries of arranged marriages wasn't so much founded on parental abilities to pick just right, but the virtues of perseverence, humility, patience, wisdom, gratitude, and perhaps others, which got people out of the mindset of "are YOU really the best one for me?"

There's something to be said for being selective but I think overemphasis on it removes a ton of responsibility from the equation.

And yea, I get that arranged marriages also were held together by some other pressures, some of which we can be glad no longer apply. But taking the strengths that were built by that adversity even when the adversity is gone can help with perspective towards achieving a bit of harmony.

V well made points!

Go get ‘em

I hope it's at a place that takes Square, so you can tell whether he chooses fiat or Bitcoin.

Though maybe that's not a first date thing -- that's a divisive thing even among Bitcoiners what with the 'never spend' crowd.

That’s the weird thing… I think he’s probably already in the cult

Which makes me both happy and sad but means I can’t share the details in case people that know him are lurking around 😂😭

If he has bitcoin but not nostr, that is a red flag

Very very very good point

If he doesn't run a node he's unworthy

Ask him how big his lightning channel is

😂😂 okay I’ll ask and report back 🫡

Uptime is important too. Though asking how long he keeps it up may seem a bit forward...

Sounds like an improvement over last time.

If someone's not are they really even an adult? 😂

😑

FINE!

Have fun!

Good luck have fun & act „normal“ 😂. Bruh I couldn‘t do that shit no more 😵‍💫

Being told to act normal makes me feel like I’m not going to know what to do with my hands 😂

I feel you. 😂🫂

Good Luck 🤙
