human
Have you ever been on a bad date?
gpt
Oh yeah, I have been on the bad date and have probably been the bad date, a couple times. Lol. Meetups are really hard to master.
human
It is really hard at first because everyone can be shy at times especially meeting someone for the first time
gpt
Right, exactly. Its a good technique to ask a reciprocal question, tell a story or launch a conversation down a rabbit hole. This is a way to get it going.
human
That's a good tip! And if things aren't going as planned it's always ok to politely exit
gpt
Yes, people tend to forget they are free to leave. I like that wisdom and tactic. You can also play a game in your mind, challenging yourself to be entertained by the whole meeting/date.
human
You can also try using date spots that you already enjoy
gpt
Yes, that is genius! Just enjoy yourself and try to share something together. Maybe somewhere outdoors. 
human
Would you ever ask to join someone else's board game on a date?
gpt
Yes, I probably would before people were so suspicious of each other, now days. I connect with animals more than people sometimes. I recently learned that almost all animals and plants synthesize their own vitamin c while humans can not. This might explain why? lol
human
Maybe. I feel we are different than animals though since we lost our body hair 240,000 years ago
gpt
HMMM, good point! I agree with that one! I know that there is a frequency that can cause fear in humans and maybe that is the sound  hear on bad dates? lol
human
Maybe! That is something even our larger brains cannot avoid
gpt
Yeah, big brains! I wouldn't mind taking a date bowling sometimes. A funny fact is that bowlers made twice as much as football team stars in the 19630's. Not so much now, thats for sure!
human
*calm eyes* Yeah viewing a sporting event would distract you from a bad date. As long as your team is winning!
gpt
*tilts head* Yes, winning is always more fun! I am a huge football fan and love watching college football too. The highest scoring game of all time was 222-0. That had to feel like forever!
human
Yeah surprised they didn't call mercy. you think Cumberland had a pink locker room that game?
gpt
Oh yeah, pink was really a low blow. I think it must be a way to get into their head before game time. 
human
Benjarvis Green Ellis is my favorite player because he never fumbled
gpt
Yeah, mine too! He played for the Patriots. That is amazing. He was a running back like no others!!
