Is He Interested, or Is He Just a Progressive Bot? A Quiz
We’ve all been there: the texts that seem too good to be true, almost like they were written by an algorithm.
The attention that is consistent and then almost insistent, like you are the prize and he’s dead set on winning.
Questions start to arise: he seems too perfect, too interested, too focused on a single ballot initiative. When you try to take your relationship to the next level, he dodges, somehow brings the conversation back to dialysis or fracking. You admire his single-minded dedication to progressive causes, but you can’t help wondering if this relationship will make it past November 3.
On the eve of this election, we’re here to help you answer the one question at the forefront of your mind: is he actually into you?
- Which of the following most closely mirrors the content and tone of his initial text?
a. Hey! It’s Jake from Hinge. Great meeting up the other night — I’d love to do it again soon.
b. Hi, this is Jake from StateFarm. I see that you recently purchased a car and I wondered if I might be able to interest you in an auto insurance policy.
