Update: He was using AI.

r/

He was asking me deep, thoughtful questions and offering thoughtful responses. It was 100% all AI.

Now excuse me while I take a full body shower. Worst date of my life.

    Like, sitting opposite you and asking ChatGPT for help, and then reading it off his screen to you, or?

    I’m so confused.

    maybe I didn’t understand everything well but… I don’t really see anything wrong with it… I mean :

    maybe he have social anxiety, maybe he was really nervous, maybe he doesn’t have a lot of experience with talking to women or ppl in general maybe he was trying his best?

    I know it look like I defend him too much but I actually feel bad, as someone with social anxiety I’ve used ai for simple dumb social interaction questions… Maybe he just needed reassurance to make sure he wouldn’t say anything that might sound bad on a date or he’s not used to deep convo and want to get better at it..?

    Just ask the same questions right back. People can only fake smarts up to a point. If his answers aren’t as poignant, thoughtful, and clear, then he’s not who he says he is. Or if it looks rehearsed. Also, don’t offer too much info on a first date, apparently sad sacks of shit are desperate to find out your love language and what not to more easily appear attractive in your eyes. Is he interesting/thoughtful/funny BY HIMSELF, without any input/info from you -or anyone else?

    Also, make uncomfortable questions, put him “on the spot”. Nothing aggressive or mean, simply ask him things that would make someone hesitant to share their ugly, bad sides. Is he comfortable with his flaws or can’t he even talk about them? Separate of that, tease him. See how he reacts. Is he a sore loser to a well-crafted joke? Make a feminist statement. Do his eyes flash in caution/anger/whatever other than just agreement or thoughtfulness?

    Don’t sweat a bad date, sweat a bad life. You stopped him right in his tracks. You date, you learn.

    Also, as cliche as it sounds: the more you know YOUR human nature, the easier it is to know theirs. The hard work always starts within first: focus on growing yourself and you’ll be able to spot them easier and easier each time. Best of luck.

    You might find comfort from reading ETA Hoffman’s story “The Sandman.” It’s a horror story about finding out the perfect woman the hero was ready to propose to is actually a robot.
