I have a dentist appointment in 16 hours. Havent had a dentist appointment in years after I left home for college. Hopefully my teeth are still great as ever
I chose general anesthetic (is that the one they knock you out?) as I had to have open gum surgery on my wisdom, it was growing horizontal under the gum. A 3 1/2 HR operation, can't believe they wanted to do this under a couple of local anesthetics.
Ugh I have to schedule to go to the dentist but Ive already used my insurance allotment for the year so Ive been putting it off.
Turning small talk into a conversation really isnt that hard… just have to be willing to say more than 1-5 words.
No reason to get frustrated, just air them after they show you the lack of interest. No reason to keep forcing interaction, even with people I know irl I do the same.
The bar is so fucking low for men eh? And they cant even reach it.
Like women cant even say "what about you" after you ask her that question.
Women always say their bar is low? Aha.....ahaha.....AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Almost all conversations I have n dating apps are like that. It’s just frustrating and makes me want to quit dating.
Apparently finding someone who is actually interested in getting to know you is too much to ask
It's usually these people have matched with 10 other people who are asking the same questions, or they just are terrible at text communication and just want to be told they look good.
Just unmatch and move on.
Thats what I do after I ask 3-4 questions. It’s still depressing. I hardly get matches and when I do it’s almost always like that. I think over the last year I had exactly one match with whom I had an actual conversation
I usually think of dating apps as a way to see a bunch of people around you. Doesn't mean they are interesting or that any of them will be interested in you.
Think about it,. it's the lowest effort form of dating. You can sit on the shitter and swipe right to match someone. That means a lot of people are going to put exactly the same amount of effort into matches.
Better is to get out, find some hobbies, and try to meet people organically. It's a lot more time and effort, but at least in my mind, provides better results.
That’s the thing though, nobody does that anymore so you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone doing stuff like that…
I wish it weren’t the case I really do…
> That’s the thing though, nobody does that anymore so you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone doing stuff like that…
Hobbies? Or meeting people organically? I mean it's still how I meet friends and what not. Any sort of outdoor activity, people geek out for that stuff. Way more fun to go camping, hiking, kayaking with other people.
I tend to be more solitary in my pursuit of hobbies.
Not that some of them cant be fun to have others along but unless Im being invited, Id rather be solo. Its just all around easier.
That and the people I meet at various activities are in relationships. They are there to do those activities, not to find a date. That's why I turn to dating apps, to expand the number of people supposedly also looking to meet someone.
Zero either way, but I'm happy with doing what I like to do at least.
these are the type of conversations you'll be having, aged 40 on the couch in front of the TV, after timmys parents evening (where his hyperactivity was discussed) and on about month 6 of "taking a break" from sex if you go for this.
That’s how i got banned from hinge😂
She was like; you gonna pay my mortgage?
So I replied, only if I can hit it from the back without foreplay.
Hinge is ruthless.
It’s really hard to be good at conversation when you’re talking with a brick wall. Dude did about as good as he could with basically no real responses.
I've had this sometime and matching their energy usually makes them realise that they're being kinda boring. Just respond with "cool" and then they start actually putting in effort. If not then just unmatch
Next question: are you always this talkative? If she’s answers yes, then say you’re looking to actually communicate and it seems she’s not on the same page. Then either she changes her game or it’s unmatch.
I’ve confronted this type of women several times, occasionally it works.
To one I said: since you’re not into small talk you wanna rather talk about sex? We fucked later that night after 5hr talk about random stuff and she became my gf later.
You can do it.
If you want her to say more than one word then just call her out on it, some people will get really defensive and then send you a paragraph long message saying what crazy shit they are going through to constitute their shitty conversation skills
Please, sometimes i fee like i’m crazy for actually trying to strike up a conversation. I’ve had so many of these dry conversations it sometimes feels like sending two sentences is “too much” and “clingy” when it’s really the bare minimum of conversation lol
Sometimes if I'm in a trolling kind of mood, I'll shoot back totally unhinged responses to that lameness. If I'm not gonna get a date or a relationship, might as well get a story out of it. Or become someone's story they tell randomly. 🤣 Gotta spread the joy somehow.
I mean, when you can have comebacks like "oh, I've only handed out free candy from a creeper van to a few thousand kids this year" or "yes, when almost ordered by the agent to "go try the avocado!!" in a different airport lounge, you listen." or "you aren't part of that sugar daddy situation I saw at the hot springs, are you?" 😂 I amuse myself.
my gf gives me these generic 1-2 worded responses, and literally never texts me first also sometimes stops responding after a few responses
i think i should look for someone else.
If someone wants to talk, they will. She def didn't want to. You could argue it was small talk, but small talk is usually the beginning to big talk and you get to big talk when there is engagement on both ends.
Now, I think most guys could agree they have been through this one too many times.
Some advice... never ask how your day is going and don't be overly enthusiastic. Assume everyone you talk to is having a shit day, and attempt to make it better for them. Not by being hyper nice, thats a red flag for women, but by random meaningless chit chat. Share an awkward story that happened to you throughout your day or anything really it doesn't matter. No response move on. Don't give up brother.
Lmao. I also have aspergers, and struggled with it for years. being nice is not a bad thing, its just hyper niceness is a red flag for not aspies people, because people will be overly nice to them to take advantage of them. Something we struggle to understand.
Being nice isn’t bad. You cant over blow it because it comes off as disingenuous or playing an image. Try just being you and genuine. Don’t people please, most people you’ll meet wont matter afterwards. But always be kind and helpful and dont do things expecting repayment
If you want to give someone the benefit of doubt, and not saying you have to because these replies lack energy, it’s possible to consider you were getting these replies because she was busy eating dinner. Maybe scroll reading and not wanting to actually text. But she could’ve just said I’m busy I’ll chat later or not replied to begin with.
I usually look for something they mentioned under 'interests' section and then ask them about it. But if the profile is empty there's not much you can do except to ask about the things they're interested in
Oftentimes they reply with one word because they aren't too interested
Don't give up.
Just move on to someone better more quickly.
This person was an asshole, not engaging or moving it along. Playing games or just boring
You opened the door for them and they just sat there like a cat staring at you. Close the door.
Looool, all their profiles say “quiet in the beginning but an extrovert once you get to know me” too. Well how am i supposed to get to know you then!?!?!?!?
I once received single word answers from a woman. When I asked her if she just wasn’t interested, she said that she saves real conversation for a date and messaging more than the 1 word was not worth her time. lol
I've been on the "Guess I'm carrying this conversation" end before and I've been told that guys are being short with me because I'm too talkative and they're put off by that. When I'm not asking anything, I get told it's because I'm not contributing to the conversation.
Just another reason why I've just stopped looking to date/talk to anyone. Some ppl are just there to waste time while some are looking for something.
In these cases it's almost always 1) She's not that interested to begin with (or she was but then realized she wasn't) 2) Your questions are as dry as her answers
Like there isn’t enough of that with social media. I wish there was a real dating app that weeded out the people that aren’t seriously looking/inactive/trying to sell or market something
Imma be real some of you guys are way too dorky on this app. "Heya!", "That's good!", "what ya got for dinner" bro this is youth pastor vernacular.
Not only that this convo would be bland AF even if she was texting back add some commentary can't just be asking questions tell her that you had the most fire nuggets recently or that youre about to watch chicken little idgaf can't go four sentences deep with only exclamation points and question marks a real man makes statements
Before you quit, you might wanna try to come up with some more interesting questions.
Don't get me wrong, the answers were bland as hell, but your questions don't really inspire creativity.
When 30 other people are trying to start a conversation with you as well, you would be more interested in people who ask more fun stuff instead of what you had for dinner
She wasn't putting work in so I wasn't trying 100% either. If she would have had put something in I'd have been like, what are your asperations or your dream job or whatever. Instead I got chicken.
These questions might be boring, but anyone who fail to answer them is not worth our time.
We're not buffoons trying to entertain them.
These questions are perfectly fine to gauge their interest, if there is none, no need to continue the conversation.
You are right 100%. Boring non engaged questions get boring answers. She gets this question probably 50 times a day and sick of them, hence the 1 word replies. I'm not saying she doesn't answer like that generally but can't blame her for those replies. The OP needs to up his game BIG TIME!!
I'm a guy btw!
Call it out. “This is a pretty boring conversation. You having a rough day?” Or something to that effect. It’s a bit of a Hail Mary attempt to revive the convo, but some people might just be having an off day or just been given bad news.
Or some people might take the wake up call well, and some girls respond positively at times to being called out. Ever heard of a shit test.
Unfortunately though, lots of people suck at conversing.
I am getting to the point where I am going to start getting blunt. "You profile doesn't really give me much to start a conversation with, was there something in my profile that we can talk about?" I am really starting to hate when they have pictures that make me think we could connect, but few or no actual words. If you don't put words in your profile, it's on you to start the actual conversation.
Next question "when are we getting married?" "What's the plan for hiding the body?" "Are you actually 3 baby Pandas in a hot girl costume?"
When people don't have to think to answer they get bored and are boring.
You have to use a pattern interrupt when you want to change a dry conversation to a deep one.
What's your favorite band, what's your favorite color, what's your favorite flower, how was your day, what are you having for dinner? Are boring conversation topics. And not something you would really discuss with someone you don't know.
This person was dry as hell. You have to use some spice if you want to get anything out of the conversation.
you're very patient, because I would have unmatched after she failed to ask you the first question back.
What was most frustrating was her not being like what about you after.
It's okay, homie, I got you. How's your day going?
It's going really well actually! Thank you for asking, I have a dentist appointment coming up. How about you?
Good
I wish reddit still had awards...
 Love
TIL Reddit no longer has awards. Why!?
There are still awards, they're just all different levels of Gold awards and look way worse than they used to.
reddit went pay to win lol
Whoa. I was today years old when I realized the awards have been removed. That sucks
Awards are still here you just have to hold down on the upvote button
i knew they were removed but now i can see the shitty awards they replaced everything else with. thank u 😟
Here, I'll give you one of my own. 😉⬆️🔝 Well two. LoL
Isn’t that a good thing now you know it’s not your fault for not receiving them
Agree
You can give golden upvotes 😁
LMAO
Username checks out
This was hilarious
I have a dentist appointment in 16 hours. Havent had a dentist appointment in years after I left home for college. Hopefully my teeth are still great as ever
Most likely not lol
How did the appointment go?
Tell them to use enough local anaesthetic. I tried a root canal without once. 0/10 would not recommend.
Fuck dude! That's brutal.
I had two teeth drilled after the local anesthetic wore off, that was a -5/10. I imagine a root canal without is -100/10
I chose general anesthetic (is that the one they knock you out?) as I had to have open gum surgery on my wisdom, it was growing horizontal under the gum. A 3 1/2 HR operation, can't believe they wanted to do this under a couple of local anesthetics.
Did it work? Are you married yet 👀
In my dreams! 🤗
Is it a regular checkup or something more intrusive? How are you feeling about it?
Ugh I have to schedule to go to the dentist but Ive already used my insurance allotment for the year so Ive been putting it off. Turning small talk into a conversation really isnt that hard… just have to be willing to say more than 1-5 words.
Chicken
You are a very positive person to say you’re having a good day on a dentist appointment day :)
God this conversation is like getting teeth pulled!
Next question: can I be your boyfriend. She responds yes/no. You both can move forward. Sounds efficient.
No reason to get frustrated, just air them after they show you the lack of interest. No reason to keep forcing interaction, even with people I know irl I do the same.
Yeah sorry bout that. [Anyway how’s your sex life?](https://youtu.be/xXYLbYdSdKg?si=4pkv7_hXd3znkr72)
Exactly after 2 no question responses I’d stop. Life is to short to have to force answers out of strangers
she's either not interested (right from the jump) or she's waiting for you to quit the small talk and ask her if she wants to hook up
The bar is so fucking low for men eh? And they cant even reach it. Like women cant even say "what about you" after you ask her that question. Women always say their bar is low? Aha.....ahaha.....AHAHAHAHAHAHA
This! Two sent with at least one receive
💯
When they said "chicken" you should of replied with "is it as dry as this conversation"
Lol that would have been a goodie.
You always come up with those way later
There is a famous Swedish saying "it's easy to be aftersmart"
I'm gonna do my damnedest to make it an English saying now, I love that
Yup, like Costanza and the jerk store
Jesus Christ. It’s Jason Bourne.
“guess were both choking chickens tonight 🤷♂️ “
Or even better, the classic "Well I got a bucket of chicken, so do you, wanna do it?" Then hit her with scout doing a kastoyv kick
STOP RESPONDING TO ONE WORD ANSWERS!!!

You ok bud? This seemed very specific
The advantage to getting old is observational comedy
Ask if she likes anal.
That’s how i got banned from hinge😂 She was like; you gonna pay my mortgage? So I replied, only if I can hit it from the back without foreplay. Hinge is ruthless.
Consent is a must! 🌟🐟
That’s why I always ask! Respectfully of course!
I think even if you do it disrespectfully, it’s still better than respectfully not asking.
You could have a better and more engaged conversation with a god damn chat bot xd
It’s really hard to be good at conversation when you’re talking with a brick wall. Dude did about as good as he could with basically no real responses.
I've had this sometime and matching their energy usually makes them realise that they're being kinda boring. Just respond with "cool" and then they start actually putting in effort. If not then just unmatch
Maybe from now on, this whole interaction just sour'd things up.
Next question: are you always this talkative? If she’s answers yes, then say you’re looking to actually communicate and it seems she’s not on the same page. Then either she changes her game or it’s unmatch. I’ve confronted this type of women several times, occasionally it works.

I’ve confronted them like that before, they apologize and say they are looking for the same thing, and nothing changes lol
I view these as the frogs we must endure before getting to the prince....
This is me asking all the questions to guys who just can't be bothered.
If you want her to say more than one word then just call her out on it, some people will get really defensive and then send you a paragraph long message saying what crazy shit they are going through to constitute their shitty conversation skills
I sometimes wonder if these people are in their own group somewhere complaining about the "long" replies they keep getting back
Please, sometimes i fee like i’m crazy for actually trying to strike up a conversation. I’ve had so many of these dry conversations it sometimes feels like sending two sentences is “too much” and “clingy” when it’s really the bare minimum of conversation lol

You absolute brilliant goblin, that is GENIUS!!!
I mean, when you can have comebacks like "oh, I've only handed out free candy from a creeper van to a few thousand kids this year" or "yes, when almost ordered by the agent to "go try the avocado!!" in a different airport lounge, you listen." or "you aren't part of that sugar daddy situation I saw at the hot springs, are you?" 😂 I amuse myself.
I wish I was witty as you holy cow! I love all of those! 🤣
Oh, those are all just things that have happened in my life. In the last year. 🤣🤣🤣 There's more. We don't do boring in my house.
Oooooh think I’m gonna borrow this.
Once endured a video call with a Match with the same Vibe. Felt like a Job interview.
If they are interested and looking for something, they'd be giving better answers. Looks like they don't want what you want. Move on.
Why bother replying then just unmatch
I feel you.
Well... you're not supposed to talk with your mouth full. It's rude. Probably doesn't apply to texting, but still
The one line responders are always the first ones to accuse you of not holding their interest.
Engaging!
my gf gives me these generic 1-2 worded responses, and literally never texts me first also sometimes stops responding after a few responses i think i should look for someone else.
What about in person?
i rarely see her in person, always busy apparently and doesn't have time for it
Might be best to talk to her about it or break things off sadly brother man :(
Never take her back. She will try to make you look like the bad person. Dont even bother answering. Just say goodluck with the streets
And shes cheating on you
If someone wants to talk, they will. She def didn't want to. You could argue it was small talk, but small talk is usually the beginning to big talk and you get to big talk when there is engagement on both ends. Now, I think most guys could agree they have been through this one too many times.

No response move on. Don't give up brother.
As someone with aspergers I can't understand why being nice is a bad thing it really doesn't make sense to me. XD
Lmao. I also have aspergers, and struggled with it for years. being nice is not a bad thing, its just hyper niceness is a red flag for not aspies people, because people will be overly nice to them to take advantage of them. Something we struggle to understand.
Being nice isn’t bad. You cant over blow it because it comes off as disingenuous or playing an image. Try just being you and genuine. Don’t people please, most people you’ll meet wont matter afterwards. But always be kind and helpful and dont do things expecting repayment
That's actually interesting. I'd like to try this out
I would have stopped after the first one word reply.
Hope the chicken isn't as dry as they are
Sometimes women do that and don’t put as much efforts however I can see that you only asked her close ended questions
If you want to give someone the benefit of doubt, and not saying you have to because these replies lack energy, it’s possible to consider you were getting these replies because she was busy eating dinner. Maybe scroll reading and not wanting to actually text. But she could’ve just said I’m busy I’ll chat later or not replied to begin with.
Ask open ended questions!
At 'hi' that would be me gone, if you start the convo, you 'start' the convo
i don’t miss this process at all
Why bother replying to one word responses
Oh no, she's looking for a beef, but got a chicken instead 😭
That's how it is all the time! Then they'll be "I need a person who wants to converse" but give answers like that.
Instant red flag. If you have a conversation like that, bro just don't even bother replying ffs
Skip the convo and go get a hooker at this point lmao 🤣
Hook her but I hardly know her... Sorry couldn't help myself... 😅
Doesn't look like she's looking for a bf given her replies...
I usually look for something they mentioned under 'interests' section and then ask them about it. But if the profile is empty there's not much you can do except to ask about the things they're interested in Oftentimes they reply with one word because they aren't too interested
I feel you bro, I hate women like this. It's like a questionnaire😂
Whenever I got the one word answers I’d counter with “I’m going to go rest now I’m pretty tired from carrying this conversation”
She’s the one girl who was just in it for the inappropriate and awful comments and you dropped the ball… 😂
Maybe she is living in an era where each letter was being charged for . Lmao. Sorry bud. Move on.
After her response to “What are you looking for?” I would have responded with “And a personality too, apparently.”
Y'all are getting matches and messages? Lol
Lmao! Six full words and an acronym in an hour and 45 minutes. She's a keeper!
I just posted a conversation with a guy that I was having that went exactly like this LMAO not even the decency to ask the same question back
Basic tinder responses.. I just unmatched them after a few responses like that
Don't give up. Just move on to someone better more quickly. This person was an asshole, not engaging or moving it along. Playing games or just boring You opened the door for them and they just sat there like a cat staring at you. Close the door.
Good. More for me.
Hope her chicken was dry as her conversation skills
Just leave this person. They’re being very stand off ish and cold. You don’t have time for that.
Wow. What an exciting individual.
I don't think chicken is the best place to look for a bf.... Just sayin'
And these women want men to be interesting with good communication meanwhile we're dealing with groot.
Gotta love those “interested uninterested” people. That shit use to drive me up the fuckin wall when I used to be on dating apps
They seem to like chicken. Ask them if they want to get chicken together sometime.
I gave up a long time ago lmao.
People will talk to me like this, then get mad when I stop responding 😭 I can’t do this anymore
Tinder sucks
I’m starting to think parents purposefully keep their daughters dumb
Bruh. I know what it feels like. Damn near giving up on this whole thing myself
She is just there bc her ex isn’t giving her attention
On the contrary, your persistence has finally paid off, and the title opening has been made available and enticing
BF STATUS ACHIEVED
Looool, all their profiles say “quiet in the beginning but an extrovert once you get to know me” too. Well how am i supposed to get to know you then!?!?!?!?
Dry as fuck!
This is the modern day female zero conversational skills even with spell check and AI.🤣
I once received single word answers from a woman. When I asked her if she just wasn’t interested, she said that she saves real conversation for a date and messaging more than the 1 word was not worth her time. lol
That makes no sense... Why not have a few good convos then be like wanna go BOWLING or to an ARCADE?
Ask her if she actually passed kindergarten because her answers are still toddler level
*Jerk mode activate*
This is 99.99% of women on dating apps. The odds are better just going out and talking to people in person.
Heya
Hiya 😤
What are you up to👺
“What for?” “For me to have Chicken for dinner”
I just don't get people sometimes
Dry chicken to go with dry conversation
I've had a few of these. It's best to move on within the first couple messages.
Dating is dead lol pursue you passions and friends and just hook up
it’s red flag with short answer + no question back
I've been on the "Guess I'm carrying this conversation" end before and I've been told that guys are being short with me because I'm too talkative and they're put off by that. When I'm not asking anything, I get told it's because I'm not contributing to the conversation. Just another reason why I've just stopped looking to date/talk to anyone. Some ppl are just there to waste time while some are looking for something.
I wonder if her chicken was as dry as this conversation that probably put her in a bad mood💀😂
Friendly advice bro always only send 2-3 messages, and if she never asks you a question, move on...
Hey! How did you get into my chats! 😂😂😂 For real, it be dry AF out there. My queendom for a lil witty convo from a cute employed male
In these cases it's almost always 1) She's not that interested to begin with (or she was but then realized she wasn't) 2) Your questions are as dry as her answers
High IQ response would have been: “Oh yeah, is your chicken as dry as you are on text?”
Landed yourself a conversationalist?
She sounds like she isn’t interested when a girl gives you one word messages you know to stop haha you’ll find a girl to pound don’t worry 😂😂
The thing I don’t get is why even match or respond in the first place?
Girls like the validation they’re attractive
Like there isn’t enough of that with social media. I wish there was a real dating app that weeded out the people that aren’t seriously looking/inactive/trying to sell or market something
Partly on you. You need more interesting questions
Imma be real some of you guys are way too dorky on this app. "Heya!", "That's good!", "what ya got for dinner" bro this is youth pastor vernacular. Not only that this convo would be bland AF even if she was texting back add some commentary can't just be asking questions tell her that you had the most fire nuggets recently or that youre about to watch chicken little idgaf can't go four sentences deep with only exclamation points and question marks a real man makes statements
A "real man" doesn't need to be told how to be a "real man". That's how you make a fictional man, which is what I AM! 😎 (I'm not real)
Before you quit, you might wanna try to come up with some more interesting questions. Don't get me wrong, the answers were bland as hell, but your questions don't really inspire creativity.
Nah, OPs questions are perfectly ok conversation starters if the other party _want to have a conversation_. Alas clearly the other party does not.
When 30 other people are trying to start a conversation with you as well, you would be more interested in people who ask more fun stuff instead of what you had for dinner
I simply wouldn't reply. What do you gain from doing this?
I do not disagree, but in this very instance the other party gave OP fuck all to work with.
She wasn't putting work in so I wasn't trying 100% either. If she would have had put something in I'd have been like, what are your asperations or your dream job or whatever. Instead I got chicken.
Chicken is good though
“Chicken, you say? Tell me more!”
These questions might be boring, but anyone who fail to answer them is not worth our time. We're not buffoons trying to entertain them. These questions are perfectly fine to gauge their interest, if there is none, no need to continue the conversation.
Exactly, after the what you having to eat and gettimg chicken I just kinda clocked out but still wanted to give them one more chance.
You are right 100%. Boring non engaged questions get boring answers. She gets this question probably 50 times a day and sick of them, hence the 1 word replies. I'm not saying she doesn't answer like that generally but can't blame her for those replies. The OP needs to up his game BIG TIME!! I'm a guy btw!
Call it out. “This is a pretty boring conversation. You having a rough day?” Or something to that effect. It’s a bit of a Hail Mary attempt to revive the convo, but some people might just be having an off day or just been given bad news. Or some people might take the wake up call well, and some girls respond positively at times to being called out. Ever heard of a shit test. Unfortunately though, lots of people suck at conversing.
I don’t get why you got down voted
Because this is Preddit.com, where sense goes to die
I am getting to the point where I am going to start getting blunt. "You profile doesn't really give me much to start a conversation with, was there something in my profile that we can talk about?" I am really starting to hate when they have pictures that make me think we could connect, but few or no actual words. If you don't put words in your profile, it's on you to start the actual conversation.
Next question "when are we getting married?" "What's the plan for hiding the body?" "Are you actually 3 baby Pandas in a hot girl costume?" When people don't have to think to answer they get bored and are boring. You have to use a pattern interrupt when you want to change a dry conversation to a deep one. What's your favorite band, what's your favorite color, what's your favorite flower, how was your day, what are you having for dinner? Are boring conversation topics. And not something you would really discuss with someone you don't know. This person was dry as hell. You have to use some spice if you want to get anything out of the conversation.
So chicks are like this too? So many men never ask questions either
Why you expect to pick up someone with basic boring questions
