Focus on making friends and showing genuine interest in others before pursuing others

im on tinder but i don’t do small talk. i mention that im very direct in my profile and to ask me for my nonnegotiables. people normally ask and we get into the nitty gritty immediately. not everyone i matched with liked that but the people who are just like me really liked how direct and personal we got very soon. people who are looking for something serious usually don’t mind not wasting time on small talk. i don’t want to get to know someone im not compatible with bc im not there for friends

my bf and I met on hinge and we skipped right over the small talk and straight into our values and what we were looking for. but before I was tryna talk to other people and it was not working out cause I hate small talk and I'm bad at it too. sometimes it's just the person you're talking to, so I'd be direct about what you're looking for!
