The "I don't like small talk", 😂

😏

And when you do respond to the depth talks, it is “are you really a woman? I thought only men talked like this” Or they get quiet when they realize you know more than them on those topics and they just ghost after in shame.

I've met a few people like this, and I honestly think it's a form of negging. They want you to feel you have to prove you're interesting enough. (Also, this guy doesn't know what small talk is)

what's wild is that if you enjoy the person you're talking to, small talk is incredibly enjoyable and allows you and that person to not only get to know each other, but also make fun quips and jabs at each other or yourselves... small talk itself isn't the problem here lol

Let's talk about cosmology. You wrap your head around the idea that the universe doesn't want us together. :)

I don't like small talk, but what she's talking about isn't small talk, IMO. To me, small talk is the scripted crap like talking about the weather or asking a complete stranger (not a date) what they're doing this weekend or for a holiday.

Dodged that bullet and moon-walked right out of there. Whew~.

People like that are usually "brutally honest" too. Just another excuse to act like they're better than everyone else without actually making the effort to better themselves.

LOL @ manic pixie boy/girl I'm anxious mole woman. When I say 'I don't like small talk' what I mean is, 'how can I extricate myself from this conversation, I don't people well'.

Virtually no personal info: at least a yellow flag Considers basic getting-to-know-you questions "shallow small talk": at least three red flags right there. My advice: don't continue the date until he can name at least one.
