Share a Fact About Yourself That You Would Tell a Date

Post Reply New Topic

There doesn’t need to be a punchline. We are just sharing facts (serious and absurd but real) that we could share on a first date.

I used to purposely troll bullies in high school, and would legitimately get beaten up occasionally, if I hadn't managed to run away from them.

At some point I would need to say, "By the way, I write a LOT of music but you are under no obligation to like it."

^ That’s cool!

My brother tried to hit me over the head with a vacuum cleaner when I was 12 because I was being annoying. My family frames it as my fault entirely.

My brother and I laugh about it now.

Are you referring to the past tense?
It's because I had a serious stroke and don't have the balance anymore.

I'm not an adrenaline junkie, I'm certainly not fearless, and I don't live in Florida.

Hat trick!


I biked the Laurentians, the Appalachians, and the Rockies.

On the internet, I'm over 6 feet tall.

I don’t like mirrors.

On the internet, I am 8 feet tall.

Beat that!

On the internet, I’m a mystical creature who can turn people into stone.

I’m not as sweet as I seem in person.

I'll likely need to go to a vet in the middle of our date.

I was raised a Jehovah's Witness. Let's talk about religion and the Bible...

Most of my family is shunning me right now. It's probably for the best.

The fact that I sinned and needed to be punished was announced from the platform of my church.

They said that fornication was as bad as murder.

I'm a very emotionally-balanced, stable person, all things considered.

I have a thing for the Salem witch trials. And, I have a black cat. Actually, I have three female black cats known as Macbeth's weird witches. Oh, I have Macbeth too. I'm not into witches though, because that's different.

Care for some sage?

When I'm obsessed with a special interest, I need space. I hate it when partners want to talk about our relationship when I'm trying to defeat Gannon or am shooting targets with arrows in a game in a game.

I hate when partners want to talk about our relationship, period.

I communicate better with my body ... but I likely shouldn't say that.
(Move that over to the other thread for safer keeping.)

I don't mind talking with partners about our relationship, theoretically, but not during inopportune moments. I suppose it depends on the exact topic, though...
