How do you reply to “My most irrational fear”?

Be playful and curious. Asking how the fear started, or treating it with mock seriousness, usually gets a laugh and a reply.

Is it cute to offer to protect her?

It reads as a line more than a thought. She's seen it a lot, and it doesn't give her anything to answer.

Can I share my own fear?

Yes, briefly. Keep the focus on hers and end with something she can respond to.

Replying to her most irrational fear

Birds. Just birds. I know it's silly, that's why it's in the prompt called irrational.

This is one of my favorite prompts to get messages on because there's so much room to be playful. You can take my side, you can take the bird's side, you can ask how it started.

What I don't need is a guy offering to protect me from pigeons. It's sweet for half a second and then it's weird.

What I notice.

What gets a reply

He asks for the origin story. There is always an origin story.
He takes the fear seriously in a fake serious way, like it's a real threat assessment.
He shares an equally dumb fear of his own, briefly, then turns it back to me.

What I leave on read

He offers to be my hero. We've been matched for eleven minutes.
He tells me my fear isn't irrational at all and lectures me about it.
He sends a scary picture of the thing. Instant unmatch.
