What do you tell people about yourself on the first meeting?

Question

OlderAndWiser · Accepted Answer

First date. They usually ask about my job, retirement plans. I tell them my family has lived in this area since 1790 so it is unlikely that I am going to move anywhere. I tell them that I am an active participant in my church but not a holier-than-thou person. I tell them that I have musical interests and abilities, enjoying classical music as well as classic rock, that I place an emphasis on self-reliance. I tell them that my mother and step-father are still alive and I visit with them at least once every two weeks. I tell them that I am a very traditional guy with respect to how I handle dating, that I am chivalrous, and I generally appreciate people who follow traditional gender roles.

Nothing, They dont need to know anything

I keep things fairly light, but gauge how they act to see if I can add more in.

I start with "safe" topics like work, hobbies/sports, etc. Then I mention things like being bisexual, to test the waters for queer acceptance, and mention a complaint about the current conservative government to test out their political affiliation.

If those pass, I know I can be a bit more myself. If I'm not sure about them, or they fail, I can leave or stay strictly professional and will limit topics to work and sports.

1st date

I would tell them I crossdress, i figure why hide it, one shows them that you trust them. Secondary means I don't have to hide my clothing from them. Only for them to find it later and then you have a can of worms on your hands.

For job interview

I would talk about my success and my skills. I would make it seem like they couldn't afford not to have me.
