There’s a guy at work I think might like me. He’s in his 30s, I’m 27, and I think he’s handsome. So I looked at his Facebook, as you do when you’re trying to find out a little more about someone while giving every appearance of minding your own business.
He posts about crypto. He also posts about making money and becoming successful, which gives the page three topics if you’re generous about where one ends and the next begins. I kept scrolling, expecting to come across a dog or a bad vacation photo. More crypto.
I don’t know much about crypto or the people who talk about it this much. Maybe Facebook is where he goes to talk shop, and in person he’d happily spend an evening discussing where to get decent fries. All I know so far is what he’s like at work and what he voluntarily puts on Facebook. At work, I’m still glad when I run into him.
I keep picturing what would happen if we went out and I asked what he likes to do on weekends. Would I get an answer I could ask a second question about, or would I find out how much money I could be making on weekends?
If you liked someone in person and then found out his entire Facebook was crypto and hustle posts, would you still be curious about him? Or would you take the page at its word?
