Transcripts of dating advice by a man from practicalhappiness.com, for any hard-of-hearing folk who are interested in such advice on YouTube.
'Avoiding "Tell me about yourself"':
“‘Tell me about yourself?’ This is a very common question when people meet for the first time or on a first date, and the same answer always follows: ‘Well, what would you like to know?’
You cannot prevent other people from asking this question, but you can certainly make sure that you don’t ask others ‘Tell me about yourself?’ when you go out with them. This question adds nothing good to your conversation – again, because the other person will necessarily tell you, ‘Well, what would you like to know?’
Instead, why not ask something more interesting and something more specific? Such as, ‘Hey, how do you like your school programme?’ or ‘How do you like living in that neighbourhood?’ or ‘How did you like this new movie that just came out that you told me you recently watched?’ This will be much better than asking this generic, cliché, and lazy question: ‘Tell me about yourself?’
Thank you.”
