Just add "but I like that" at the end with a wink and you're running baby

I'm autistic and this would really simplify things tbh
I tried this after watching my daughter go up to someone and just straight up ask if they want to be friends before names or anything.
All I can say is it works.
The inigo montoya style:
Step 1: Give a polite greeting.
Step 2: State your name.
Step 3: Establish a personal connection.
Step 4: Manage expectations of the relationship.
"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
FYI,
You can do single line
breaks on Lemmy. Just
put 2 spaces at the end
of a line before the Enter.
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.
You have met my father. Prepare to be friends
That's basically a version of how I open Teams meetings with Developers.
"I'm Chilie. I'm a Planner. Are you on fucking crack proposing to build this environmental nightmare in the middle of a floodway?"
I was wondering how a floodway affected software developers but I eventually figured it out.
They get very agitated when they learn their server is in a basement located in a floodway.
It's funny. My sister has a very sucessful career in the software industry, and I'm a City Planner.
We're always confusing the rest of the family at holidays. We both have a lot of strong opinions on development and we're both interested in the other's career, so listening to our back and forth conversations has to be maddening.
Imagine people introduce themselves like dogs. Your ass smells nice, let's fuck.
Some of us do though. The world would be a better place if we all did!
But I don't need to have everyone tell me I'm bald. I know this. Tell me something nice.
not even just toddlers, I had primary school age kids in a lift be like "wow, you guys are really short 👀" really?? never noticed, thanks for telling me 🙃
The last young lady who told me an interesting fact about dinosaurs was on my mind for a month.
What was the interesting fact?
It's terrible but I don't remember, over time was replaced by her pretty face in my brain.
Hi Katie. I don’t have any friends. I like vodka and people who don’t comment on my thinning hair. You’re being a real bitch right now.
How else are you supposed to do that if at all? /genq
Know what? Next time I ask a woman out...
"Hi I'm [Redacted], I'm [Redacted]yo. I like photography and nature walks and my cats. You're really pretty and seem cool, you wanna eat lunch together?"
(Fuck actually now that I type that out, it's actually just a less eloquent phrasing of my current approach. Well. Consarn it.)
Am a woman, would be down for someone asking me out like that. I now know something about you, I know your thoughts about me and don't have to guess, and you're putting forward a suggestion of what to do.
Tbh, it feels way more honest and real than most guys cheesy pickup lines. I'd probably engage with someone who approached me like that.
"Hi, I'm George Kastanza, I'm 38 and I live with my parents."
My follicular challenges notwithstanding, I like Katie and would want to be her friend.
this made me laugh, this is how some of my clients have introduced them self. Sometimes it can be all their hobbies and what not for 5-10 mins and then they add "oh and my title is x and this is my expectations" lol
This would be a relief. Yes, I am autistic, why do you ask?
Picture it: "hi I'm Hedgehog what's your favorite dinosaur? My favorite dinosaur is parasaurolophus"
Unfortunately now I'm an adult and asking people about their favorite dinosaurs marks me as weird, which in the workplace is not good.
