Blocking miscommunication.

One was that she just wasn't interested in me to begin with, but maybe she feels a need to respond to everyone that responds to her. So her just being nice and me not taking the hint sort of ruined the experience. Secondly, maybe she was wondering as to the part where plenty of fish had flagged her as a bot. Could that have been the misnomer? But lastly, dating is hard. I'm jealous of all you people who are married. Everybody on Swell is married

One-Worded replies are death bombs to conversation, and here’s why. #comminication #socializing

You crack me up!!! 😂

I can already tell that she is not giving you as much as you are giving. I could already tell in the first couple that you were obviously being funny. You were flirty, but she was not flirting back. She was just very businesslike. So maybe she just a didn't get your sense of humor or was not interested in the first place. And then when it came up that you asked something else, she's like, okay, I'm done. I'm blocking you

I will always want my misery to be others delight. 😆 @bookishpodcast

Now there was another time where I said, like, something being funny and a joke. The lady didn't take it too well. She was really offended. And I was just kind of joking about where she was from. And I was like, oh, you're not from Chicago, are you? Because a lot of people in Minnesota or Chicago transplants. So I thought I'd make that funny joke, and she didn't like that at all

Hilarious about open swells!!!

So it's like, end of year is like, triple episode. So that's another reason I was like, okay, get this podcast episode done. I'm doing, like, a bookish comparison series with four episodes. I was like, okay, get that done. Get it uploaded. And I have a couple of interviews on my computer. I've only just edited one of the interviews, and I'm just adding, like, the intro and the exit

@Wuandurful don't these chickens know you are wuanderful and amusing?? 😅

And I made this joke recently in writing that I was like, oh, I got such a big payoff because it was in a webinar where, like, we're on the side chatting and the leader of the webinar is talking to the screen and responding to the chat on the side. She comes down to chat and she reads what I wrote, and she starts laughing on screen. And everyone in the chat started, like, doing lol, too

I appreciate y’all! Lol @bookishpodcast and @Brooke415

And I guess she's just so used to blocking the men because men on dating platforms, they can be a bit revolting in their demeanor, a bit juvenile in their behavior. And I like to pride myself on that being that way. And yes, I will continue to sling thy jokes the way to the maiden lady. Whoever so chooses to annoy me with their time and attention. But until then, I'm just going to keep doing my thing

Swell emojis in real form! 😆 @MerelyHuman

That is something that I value a bit more. And I noticed here on Swell, there can be great conversations going on where there's not even really the original post. They only got, like, one prey of emoji thing or whatever. But anyway, outside of that, getting back to the matter at hand. Yeah, dating is interesting. It's very fun in a weird, like selfdeprecating way. It's very fun for me to partake in, so I will continue to do that

@Wuandurful, @MerelyHuman

Okay, the reason I got such a scathing email from him was because, well, okay, fine. He sent me his picture while we're dating you. We weren't dating. No, I took it back. We were not even dating. We just had one conversation on the phone, which I really did not want to talk to him. I was so busy. He's like, no, we need to talk. I was like, fine when I'm driving, just call me

Stories matter. @bookishpodcast and @MerelyHuman

I took from dating other people, and I just recently, only a year ago, started dating. So I've had some mixed results, even had a girlfriend at one time, but decided against that. But that's a whole nother swell for a whole nother day anyway. Thank you both for extending this great conversation
