I don’t know what it is, but back when I was dating, it always stunned me how so many girls would try to come across very vanilla on the first few dates. “What do you like to do?” “Oh, you know, hang out with friends, Netflix, normal stuff.” Turns out she was a violinist in our city’s symphony orchestra and had an extensive collection of bonsai trees (…which is probably specific enough to out this account if she finds this comment, but hey). I only found out she played violin when she couldn’t come to a performance of my own for a (much less impressive) hobby that I talked about on our first date.
