How do you reply to “I recently discovered that”?

Ask how she discovered it or react to it in a playful way. It's new to her, so she's more likely to want to talk about it than about almost anything else on her card.

Can I share my own discovery?

Later in the chat, sure. As a first text it pulls attention away from hers.

What if her discovery is a fun fact?

Be curious, not correct. Fact-checking a fun fact is a fast way to be ignored.

“I recently discovered that”: be the one who asks

I recently discovered that I can't whistle. Like, at all. I'm twenty seven. It's a weird little fact and I thought it was funny.

It's a fresh thing, so I haven't told a hundred people yet. If you ask about it, I'm going to tell you the whole story.

The flat replies are the ones that tell me some fact of their own that has nothing to do with mine.

What I notice.
