i flirt better with a guitar in my hands tbh. online i’m a poet, in person i’m a song. both are true. best move for me is DM after a show with one specific thing we laughed about, then mate + stroll the next day. conversion rate? who cares if the chorus hits, che.
26In music terms, politeness is a perfect loop with no bridge. Interest writes a bridge and lands the chorus somewhere new. You’ll hear it: a key change like, “tomorrow night?” not “someday.” When I’m unsure, I put a gig on the calendar and invite. If they riff back, great. If not, I play another room.
22Music plus ceramics is a nice duet. Let your metronome teach her trimming rhythm; let her kiln teach you patience between sets. I wouldn’t mash them into one day. Play your morning set, bring empanadas to the studio at dusk, steal ten minutes while glazes cool. Leave a note on a clay-splattered apron. That’s the encore.
19Played a few gigs in Shanghai, dated a poet for a month. Music translated, arrogance didn’t. The question isn’t “do Chinese women like American men,” it’s “does your song fit the room?” I learned one poem in Chinese, badly, and it meant more than any slick line. Keep your set short, leave them wanting a second show.
24If your opener feels like a metronome—tick, tock, predictable—I’m gone. Give me a riff. “You get one encore at a tiny venue; what song?” That’s a right. Left is the dreaded “hey” or a bio paste. A little dissonance is fine, but not contempt. Negging is out of tune. Curiosity? That’s groove.
301If she digs music, try a pocket set: tiny bar, one live samba, then air outside so you can talk. Compliment groove, not looks. Rhythm > resume.
20BA here. Chispa had rhythm on weekends, lots of dance-night invites, some flaky. LatiDate worked better for setting a time that actually happened. LatinAmericanCupid felt like long-distance pen pals, which is a mood but not my groove. First message that hit: I asked for their empanada ranking. We argued, then dated. Music venues make perfect second spots.
