I think I can speak for all GDI's when I say that this is one of the most frequent questions I get. At this point, I've gotten more than enough practice with my responses to this, and the follow-up questions, i.e. "Did you rush?" "Why not?" "Do you still go out?" and then the ever-so-often conversation ender of "Oh, well that's okay!" Here's some ideas for questions we can all try out during our next outing - let's get that creativity flowing:
1. How are you?
Fabulous. I am Beyonce, always.
2. What's your name?
Seems pretty self explanatory, in my opinion.
3. What's your major?
Let me complain to you about my STEM major, I am begging you.
4. What year are you?
Always a solid introductory question, people.
5. Why did Yankee Doodle name the feather in his hat Macaroni?
I thought you'd never ask.
6. Where are you from?
Let's have that awkward moment where we pretend to have heard of each other's suburbs and move on.
7. Where do you live?
Maybe don't make this your first question, it could come across a bit creepy.
8. If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still called #2?
It just doesn't seem fair.
9. How many siblings do you have?
Referring to real siblings here, not the sisters/brothers you pledged with.
10. What are your plans this weekend?
I'd like to say I have a social life, but the answer to this more often than not will probably be working or sleeping. Still ask, because there's a 1 in 284295 chance it'll be that I'm going out.
11. Do you have a pet?
Let's just talk about dogs.
12. Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
This one keeps me up at night.
13. Do you have a job/what do you do?
I work at Joe's. Tell me about the people you know that work at Joe's. We will bond.
14. Play any sports?
I'd characterize orgo as an extreme sport, so yes.
15. Seen any good movies lately?
Okay, so it isn't the most interesting question and is horribly cliche.. let's go to #16.
16. If 4 out of 5 people suffer from diarrhea, does it mean the fifth one enjoys it?
I'm wondering, you're wondering. Let's talk about it.
