Two days ago, my little brother left my mom’s giant stand-up freezer door cracked open. She lost +1500$ worth of meat and frozen food within a matter of hours. We didn’t think we had to remind him to keep a freezer door closed, but here we are. I thought this would be a good place to warn people.

Asking open-ended questions—who, what, when, where—can be an effective social tool, but it’s often overused.

Asking too many questions in succession turns the date into an interview, and this often makes people uneasy.

Always be sure you add your own experiences, thoughts, and opinions into the conversation and show who you are.

When someone is giving an answer, be certain to BE PRESENT, rather than plotting in your head on how to keep the conversation going.
