Brother, did you mess up another date
The old Zhang on the other end of the phone hit the nail on the head. I smiled bitterly at the already cold coffee in front of me, recalling the awkward scene of our date tonight.
Yes, this is already the third failed date of the month. As an early player who has been investing in Bitcoin since 2016, I have indeed accumulated some wealth, but I have repeatedly failed emotionally. It wasn’t until I met Lao Zhang, my love mentor, that I realized how many mistakes I had made.
I remember on our first date, I met the girl I met from a dating app with full enthusiasm. As soon as I sat down, I couldn’t wait to take out my phone and show her my cryptocurrency profits, even starting to explain in detail the principles of Bitcoin mining. She smiled politely, but her gaze grew farther and farther away. The next day, she tactfully expressed that it was not appropriate.
Do you know where I went wrong? “Old Zhang asked me,” No one likes to listen to lectures on dates
On our second date, I learned my lesson and decided not to talk about Bitcoin. But when the other person asked me about my job, I couldn’t help but start talking confidently: “Do you know? I bought 50 bitcoins at a low price in 2021…” Her expression suddenly became strange, and later I realized that discussing specific asset numbers at the first meeting would make people feel uncomfortable.
With Lao Zhang’s guidance, I began to realize that the most important thing in dating is to get to know each other, not to promote oneself. On the third date, I tried to restrain myself from constantly talking about cryptocurrency. But when she mentioned her stock trading losses, I immediately entered the “teacher mode”: “You should buy Bitcoin, it’s the one…” Before she could finish speaking, I saw her obvious lack of interest.
Dating is not a financial counseling session, “Old Zhang said helplessly.” You have to learn to listen instead of rushing to give advice
Finally, on today’s date, I met the girl who moved me so much, Xiao Mei. She is a designer who is curious about new things. This time I became smarter and focused on understanding her interests and hobbies. When she asked about my job, I simply mentioned that I work in the blockchain industry. Surprisingly, she was very interested in this topic and took the initiative to ask many questions.
But I made another mistake. When she said she wanted to try investing in Bitcoin, I immediately took out my phone and wanted to send her some Bitcoin. Let her experience the feeling of holding coins too! “I thought. The result scared them away.
You, “Lao Zhang sighed,” dating is a process of cultivating relationships, not handling business. Even if you want to give, you have to wait until the relationship goes further and choose the appropriate occasion
Looking at the last message from Little Hairdressing on my phone: ‘It was a pleasant evening, but I feel like we might not be a good fit,’ I finally understood many truths:
On a first date, instead of rushing to showcase your wealth, it’s better to care more about the other person’s thoughts. Rational analysis may win in the cryptocurrency industry, but emotions require patience and consideration. Even if the other party is interested in Bitcoin, it should be gradual and not rushed.
So, what are you planning to do on your next date? “Old Zhang asked.
I smiled and said, “Put away your wallet first and open your heart
Lao Zhang nodded contentedly and said, “That’s right. Emotions are like investing in Bitcoin. The key is persistence and patience. Everything must come naturally
The moonlight outside the window was just right, so I opened my phone and deleted the screenshot in my wallet. Perhaps a new story is about to begin.
