About: Engaging Conversation   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

So you meet a member of your preferred gender for the first time and initiate a conversation. They might be a coworker, a friend of a friend, or even a stranger you're meeting in a trendy juice bar: in any case, it's a casual, low-key meeting. Things are going along smoothly when suddenly, in describing oneself, your new acquaintance says "I spend six hours a day editing TV Tropes." You ask them to marry you, right then and there. Or you do mean it and you're even more pathetic than either of your friends realized. For this trope without the commitment, see Geeky Turn On.

  • So you meet a member of your preferred gender for the first time and initiate a conversation. They might be a coworker, a friend of a friend, or even a stranger you're meeting in a trendy juice bar: in any case, it's a casual, low-key meeting. Things are going along smoothly when suddenly, in describing oneself, your new acquaintance says "I spend six hours a day editing TV Tropes." You can hardly believe your ears: you spend seven hours a day on TV Tropes! After being told by your friends (both of them) that you have a problem, at last you've found a kindred spirit! How do you express your glee at your mutual interests? You ask them to marry you, right then and there. Oh, of course you don't mean it. It's exaggeration for dramatic effect. In fact, if you feel compelled to say this right away upon meeting someone, you both are much more likely to become Platonic Life Partners: tossing love and sex into the mix would overcomplicate what would otherwise be a close (and maybe occasionally sexy) friendship. Or you do mean it and you're even more pathetic than either of your friends realized. For this trope without the commitment, see Geeky Turn On. Examples of Engaging Conversation include:
