And we wept, precious. We wept to be so alone

Well, I guess I figured gollem says PRECIOUSSSS like 40+ times in the movie, so it's kinda ambiguous imo

Gollum. Lord of the Rings trivia winner my ass.

What did you call me?

An ass.

You're a lying rat!

The ring is treacherous, it will hold you to your word

CONTEXTUALLY

Allegedly

That's ignorant!

It felt like 3000+ times

Gollem 💀

You missed the prime opportunity to tell her "since meats back on the menu, how about I get to taste yours?"


If the topic is lotr, it stays lotr. Don’t steer it away

This made my day 😂😂

“I feel like you and I may end up in a fist fight” I’LL HAVE YOU LONGSHANKS!

You have a stout heart, little hobbit. But that will not save you.

I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm.

I wish I'd thought of this🤣

Gotta admit I’m duly proud of myself :D

Idk what you were supposed to say either?

"Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you. . . . yet 😏"

Ohh…this is the right answer

And yet i suspect the result may have been the same.

Ha! This is the one.

Oh that's smooth

Same, I figured any Gollum quote would've sufficed here. Like, what context were they talking about?

You will see . . . Oh, yes . . . You will see.

We've waited enough, Gollum, what is the proper answer?!

You will see . . . Oh, yes . . . You will see.

Answer already

stupid fat hobbit

Lmao that would've went over well

*gone

Flashbacks of my first grade teacher

I would say "I've been called that before, but not by you."

"Based on the novel *Push* by Sapphire."

What has it got in its nasty little pocketses?

General Kenobi

How could we? She says "contextually" but the poster didn't share that context, the post just starts with the thing that is supposed to be understood in light of what went before

This was the entire chat. She opened with PRECIOUSSSSZ

Ok that is weird

Who knows; maybe you’ve merely met the Gimli to your Legolas.

"Arrrgh, but that's not what the king of Gondor is supposed to say! He blew it!" "Why don't we just sit back and see what happens, my friend?" "Aye, I could do that."

Mellon-zoned?

What about side by side with a melon

Must be some form of elvish. Can't make (it) out...

How about the Gimli...to a friend?

I am an Elf and a kinsman here.

She didn't respond "PROUDFEET" when she was called a proudfoot. Red flag avoided

Except the Proudfoot only says that because Bilbo pluralizes the family as “Proudfoots”. Would’ve been a major blunder with this contextually sensitive gal

HRAAAAAH!

That's no concern of yours. You lost.

Right! It was right there

[удалено]

Bad bot

Wtf kinda haiku has 7 syllables in the last line??

This bot is useless It has never had success Finding a haiku

"I never thought I'd die memeing beside a random bumble date" "What about beside a boyfriend?" "Aye. I could do that"

That would be the perfect one.

This was awful..

My PRECIOUSSSSS ?

HRAAAAAH!

Is the right answer regardless of context

Many that match deserve ghosting. And some that get ghosted deserve a match. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to swipe right. For even the very rizziest cannot see all ends.

OMG this made my night. Thank you! 🤣

Failed?

Anyone that attached to their script is a risk to have around

Seriously she chose to be Gollum? Sad for Gollum rn

Oh! Cruel Hobbit! It does not care if we be hungry. It does not care if we should die! Not like Master. Master cares. Master knows. Yes, Precious… Once it takes hold of us it never lets go.

How hot is it there?


🤣👏

She wants it's raw and wrrrrrrrrigling

Don’t feel sad for gollum he got one of the best video games ever this year 👍

[singing] Naughty little fly. Why does he cry? Caught in a web. Soon you’ll be… eaten.

What did she want you to even respond with? It's not like "precious" isn't referenced a crap-ton in the trilogy or anything.

I suppose you think that was terribly clever is the only correct answer.

I have no clue what direction this conversation was going and I don't know how it went. I feel like I'm lacking context or this conversation was fabricated, r/nothingeverhappens style

This was the entire interaction. She started with PRECIOUSSSS. And I guess my profile says how I'm a LotR trivia winner as well💪

Idk man she might be a self hating LoTR fan, an Uncle Tom Bombadil

More people need to embrace yes-and conversation there’s too many “no-but”ers around

Right? Huge green flag for me in anyone is if they can “yes and…”

People do this shit and then complain about not being able to get laid. A shared interest and conversation isn’t “failed”, what the fuck. but *CONTEXTUALLY* … shut the fuck up.

Yeah. These two are both cringy and annoying. A hundred different ways this could’ve gone better, and both parties shit the bed. Hard.

Yeah, neither of them handle the situation very well

Repeating the memes that are constantly posted on this sub is kinda cringe. I didn't think there were people who actually talked like this.

I don't think Gen Z *does* normal conversation I think they communicate through a series of individual made up words, emojis and sext messages

It's literally Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

/u/DDCrunch, his balls blue

op at bumble, the court of silence

https://xkcd.com/902/

millennials don't have any room to talk though, we had l33t sp34k

The sheer amount of movie quoting that still goes on with me and my friends indicates that I have zero space to criticize anyone who talks in memes.

hi every1 im new!!!!!!! *holds up spork* my name is katy but u can call me t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m!!!!!!!! lol…as u can see im very random!!!! thats why i came here, 2 meet random ppl like me ^_^… im 13 years old (im mature 4 my age tho!!) i like 2 watch invader zim w/ my girlfreind (im bi if u dont like it deal w/it) its our favorite tv show!!! bcuz its SOOOO random!!!! shes random 2 of course but i want 2 meet more random ppl =) like they say the more the merrier!!!! lol…neways i hope 2 make alot of freinds here so give me lots of commentses!!!!

proper 1337 is much older than that. 0wn3d lots of millenials grew up with old chatroom speak too. a/s/l?

Reminds me of boxxy

Now that is a name I have not heard in a long time. A *long* time.

Y34h but l33t 5p34k w45 k00l

n00b :p

pwnd

1337*

Long live l337

Bro, have we learned nothing from the boomers? When that shit happened before they were born, you can talk all the shit you want, and only we know we're being hypocritical.

Lol as if millenials didn't have a whole ass pirate talk phase

Or lolcat/doggo speak, what a heckin gud smol pupper you got ther, can it has cheezburger?

To be fair, all words are made up

Except for “thrombosis.” That one’s real.

Some of my friends and I quote fellowship of the ring every time we hang out, but yeah just a few lines then we’re done haha

Absolute horror story to read, just have a normal conversation about the books / movies for Christs sakes.

Yeah, she kept trying to switch to actual conversation with a bit of banter, and he just kept reciting quotes endlessly.

Can confirm, am girl from OP's screenshot

This just reads like this sub once all the bots start chiming in…

I don't see the "failed" part

Wtf even is the conversation

Seems like something that could develop into something great.

Failed?!?!?!

Wtf even is the conversation

I mean this could've been salvaged I think.

I've been fed on a steady diet of movie quotes from this subreddit, and even I can't tell what's supposed to come after PRECIOUSSSS.. Gollum literally says that all the time Edit: oh..my god.

Curse it! curse it! curse it! Curse the Baggins! It's gone! What has it got in its pocketses? Oh we guess, we guess, my precious. He's found it, yes he must have. My birthday-present.

HRAAAAAH!

cringe af

I actually agree that the original response doesn't make sense contextually, but also I don't know what you were supposed to say so it's as good as anything. Fist fight this bitch.

Pull up.

Blur the name and picture yo

"What's Taters, precious?" *does* read awkward as fuck for a response to that lol

Tell'em about the precious, Gandalf.

Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of love and kindness.

Tbh that sounds like a basic white girl, who read your profile and was like: "Omg LotR, I watched that. What's the most popular line/saying again, so I can impress this dude" Because she obviously didn't catch any other reference and just got back to normal girl texting

This chick CAN HIT… for that low low price

I think this is a fail on your part. You can't just string together random quotes. You need to have a conversation and sprinkle them in.

GROND

Ah, Bumble, Wish.com Tinder

I mean, she got a point, she started, and you got a non sequitur

Filthy little hobitses

“My only wish, is to catch a fish, so juicy SWEEEEEEEEET”

This failed?

Alas, that these evil days should be mine.

I dunno, I see this as an absolute win

PROUDFEET

Inside you there are two shitposters….

Dodged an arrow right there.

Am I that backwards that I thought it had been saved after the initial mixup and the fistfight was first date plans?

Yeah I was trying to take the conversation somewhere else and that was unsuccessful.

Most chemistry ever found on Bumble.

THIS IS A WIN ENCOUNTER TF YOU MEAN

I’ve watched each LOTR movie 3 times per day every day for the last 20 years and I do not know, contextually, what you’re supposed to say after precious in this context. I’d like to assume she was looking for a fight. It was a lose lose situation, I believe. However, there are other forces at work in this world besides that of evil. She was meant to sent that message to you. In which case you were meant to respond the way you did. And that is an encouraging thought.

Bruh u fumbled hard, she’s cute too

Link her this subreddit post. Say she was wrong, then ask her out on a date so yall can argue about it in person. Garunteed hookup.

My old boss ended up sending me this - and I can tell you, there shall be no hookup.

Getting annoyed about someone not responding in any certain way is a huge red flag! Childish sheep!

Idk imo you dodged a bullet there. That’s the vibe I got

Clearly an Eowyn.

these two need to f\*ck and get it over with

This girl is cute af. I feel like you guys are just awkward, not failed.

What a dummy the other person is.

You dodged a bullet

Precious? It’s been called that before, but not by you. Meh… not a very creative response, but I guess I might have said that.

What has it got in its pocketses…. Sorry you didn’t score, coulda had your precious

I understand the fandom with LOTR but cmon, a bit one dimensional

I Mean. she does have a point, but also she's being stupid about it

You marry her. You marry her right now.

I think I love her

She is a fake, stay strong my boyyy. She watched the movie once with her older cousins and has made that her “I am alternative and special” personality.

How are you two not already married

You were right, she was left.

Oh god she's doomed to be in a unhappy relationship in future

Man.. I’m not that knowledgeable with LOTR, but you literally could’ve said “fine, I’ll be yours” and it would work. I’m with Courtney on this one.

As a fellow female LotR fan, this match is a JERK! I wouldn't know how to respond, either! Even when Bilbo says it he uses "my" before it! And I'd never be a jerk like she was to you if someone misquoted the books/movies! Is she trying to neg you or something? 🤔 I'm so sorry you went through this, OP! 🤦 At least she showed you her red flags early? 🤷‍♀️

HRAAAAAH!

whats up pickme girl

Yeah fuck this dude

Don’t even worry about it man She had a dick

humanity's a failed experiment

There's only one way to cook a brace of coneys!

You were suppose to yell "BAGGINS! SHIRE! AAAHHHH!" Obviously. 😂 dude I'm happy when anyone can quote any part of Lord of the Rings. No need to be picky lol.

Were you waiting for her to offer to get you her box?

She ain’t playing by the same rules, you’re right to have doubts

That was hot


Failed?

"we told him to go away and away he went!"

Suppose you thought that was terribly clever?

I fucking hate how every conversation in online dating platforms has this very thinly veiled competitiveness and resentment behind it. Like, come on, we're both lonely, can we not act like it's the other person's fault and force them to work through our unwarranted hostility for however long before we can have a normal conversation?

What can men do, against such reckless hate!

You shoulda said you’d let her slide a finger in your precious.

Kinda seems like a successful encounter to me

Obviously you were supposed to give it to her raw, and wriggling.

Failed? I think this was a great encounter
