I'm being a little reactionary here because I get it like.

If you go on a date with somebody and they're incredibly rude to the waiter, like, yeah, that's a turnoff.

And I'm not trying to minimize that.

But I would rather people are looking for reasons to like, like green flags.

Like, oh, but you know what was so cool was when they, like, the way that they told this story was so captivating.

Or they seemed, like, interested in my work in ways that most people aren't.

Or, you know, anything that you can come away from an interaction thinking, like, fascinating.

haven't seen that everywhere.

Like that was unique and different.

I don't know.

Those are the things that I would be excited about and would look to to build around it to try to repeat.

Right.

I mean, that's part of the thing, too.

I mean, sometimes, you know, you click with somebody one moment and then the next time you meet them, you don't to the same extent.

This totally happens.

But but I look for, yeah, the green flags, the moments of connection and try to repeat those.

Yeah, I think they're better for a few reasons.

One is that when we know we're going to be seeing people on repeated occasions, we're less evaluative, like I'm interviewing you, and more like, hey, I want this interaction to go smoothly.

I mean, it's just like an instinct people have.

If I know that we're going to be at least a little bit interdependent, we're going to be in this improv class together, we might get paired up for another exercise in the future, I kind of want this to go well.
