“Dating me is like”: she's describing herself
I compared myself to a golden retriever that overthinks. It's self-aware, a little self-deprecating, and I was proud of it for about a minute.
The best replies go along with the metaphor. They ask a question inside it or add to it. It feels like the guy is already inside my joke.
The worst ones ignore the joke and just say I sound amazing.
