Ever been put on the spot with the seemingly simple question, “What is your type of guy?” only to find yourself tumbling down a rabbit hole of confusion and self-doubt?
There you are, chatting up someone you’ve got a bit of a crush on, and boom, they hit you with this question.
Is this a test? Should I describe them, or will that come off as too forward? What if my ‘type’ doesn’t match up with their perception of themselves?
Suddenly, what seemed like a casual conversation feels like a pop quiz you’re unprepared for.
You want to sound cool and collected, but also genuine. You worry that being too specific might box you in, or worse, make them think they don’t stand a chance. On the flip side, being too vague could come off as disinterest.
