Some chicks say they want to settle down at homestead until it's actually time to do so. 🤣
Also, I'm shit at small talk. So when somebody says "other", is their political beliefs, I'm like, oh does that mean you Lean towards crypto anarchism as well?.......sadly It's usually communism.
I would bring up topics tangential to homesteading that are more mainstream to gauge their response.
Cooking - do you cook at home? what do you like making? what's your go to recipe?
Baking bread - see if they've made sourdough before. that'd be a winner imo, but yeasted bread would be cool too
Crafts - crochet, knitting. a potential homesteader would be interested in these skills.
Gardening - maybe they grow their own food forest, maybe they care for and propogate indoor plants
online dating as a woman is a different ball game so take my replies with a grain of salt, but hopefully it can give you some insight.
anyone asking to connect via other social media right off the bat seems sus to me. they either want to dig more into who you are before they actually meet you or they're a scammer.
wanting to meet offline right at the get is totally valid. that was my approach too. I had dudes wanting to call me or FaceTime me before meeting up and that showed me that they were not the type of person I was interested in. I let them know when I was next available to meet up and let them take the lead from there. As a man, you might have to take a little more initiative to set up a date but the idea is the same. Offline meet is a priority.
Yeah, I know online dating for females is a total fucking landmine and I'll generally take any advice you have. 😅 its been a long time since ive put myself out there.
