What I wish you knew about me

[Kit]

Hi all,

We’ve been chilling together for a bit and I thought it would be a good time to start a thread where we can get to know each other a little better. The idea is that we share three things that we want people to know about us but it can be three general things about yourself, like a typical social introduction, or it can be three things that you would want a potential partner to know – but maybe don’t want to say to them in person!

I think this could bring up some really interesting speed date-style introductions. Feel free to use yours on a speed date in future. I’ll start –

I wish you knew:

1. I love sport and consider myself active but refuse to watch or understand rugby
2. I prefer wine over cocktails
3. Awkward advances always make me feel more awkward

Love this idea! Ok, I wish you knew:

1. I will happily scrub toilets but I HATE doing the dishes.
2. I snore. Like, a lot. (sorry, future partner)
3. Coriander is the devil.

I’m tagging in @jackh to go next 🙂

[ElleBelle]

BUMP! Anyone wanna give this a go?

[jackh]

Oh I like this thanks @ElleBelle

3 things: 
– I can’t sleep without socks on
– I, also, hate coriander 
– my dog is my best friend and sleeps on my bed so potential partners just be prepared to have a dog snoring all night

I’ll jump in! 

3 things: 
– I eat frozen peas, especially in summer or when I have a sore throat….
– I love TV shows such as NCIS (all of them), Hawaii Five-0 and I also watch Bold and the Beautiful (it’s so bad it’s good!) 
– I’m a massive Disney fan!

Thanks for jumping in everyone! It’s great to get to know what makes you tick and learn about the coriander hate :p
@NickiPower Frozen peas sounds like a great summer snack. Is that something your family do or just you?
@jackh Omg I’m the same with socks, my feet are always freezing. :#
@ElleBelle So agree on dishes – that’s what dishwashers are for!!!

So this is me:

3 things:

– I hardly drink alcohol (probably less than 5 standard drinks in year)

– I starred in a 30min TV drama/documentary when I was a kid.

– I made my first ever batch of kimchi on the weekend.

[NickiPower]

Just me @kit! It’s quite delish! :smiley:

Ohh @walk_on_walls – for a second I had kimchi and kombucha confused. Kimchi is the pickled cabbage right? 

[Kit]

@NickiPower Well there you go TIL

[walk_on_walls]

Yup, fermented vegetables with ginger, garlic, chilli powder, and cabbage is very common.

[Kit]

Omg @walk_on_walls! What was the TV show about? You don’t have to give details if you’re not comfortable.

[walk_on_walls]

Oops, been off the forums a while. @Kit It was part of a series looking at different lives in Australia. I was in an episode about a young Asian kid growing up with his mum and sister.

[Kit]

@walk_on_walls Oh how intriguing! I’m addicted to that kind of TV documentary at the moment. Like have you ever seen or heard of the 7 Up series? A little bit different in premise but fascinating nonetheless.

[walk_on_walls]

@kit I haven’t heard of 7 up, but you might also like ‘Run’ on Netflix, which is also snapshots of life through individual stories.

[jackh]

I have heard of 7 Up ver yet interestingly series
