No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

OP, most people in this instance are from Western Europe and ~half NA. I don't think that you'll get sensible advice on dating, marriage etc. here, given how heavily cultural those things are. (For others: OP is from India, check the profile.)

If you're still willing to ask here, though, I encourage you to give a bit more context.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You don’t.

Why would you want to do that? If you can't even talk to her, how do you know that she's the right person for you?

You have a crush based on your own ideas of who she is.

You need to be able to have an ordinary conversation with her before even considering any romantic relationship.

He's Indian. He means just talk to her. They talk like that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I uh... think you need to be able to talk to her freely before that's even a consideration.

You don't. Get into her circle of friends/interest first. If you can't do that, then you have no chance of a long term relationship. Use shared or group activities to shine. Show your leadership values and personality. At the same time observe her for the same. If both of you are attracted to each other, then you can start talking about dates.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You don't. This girl doesn't owe you her attention or time. If you ever make eye contact with her, and she isn't giving you eyes that communicate "I think you're attractive, come over to talk to me" then keep moving, friend. There are a ton of women out there, and many of them are interested in meeting men.

Eye contact. She smiles at you? Game on. She looks away quickly but doesn't smile? She isn't into you.

You're going to propose straight away? Do you even know anything about who she is?

bad bot

stop training your ai here

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm checking OP's profile for potential bot activity, and I couldn't find anything. Am I missing something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Some people are just so smart, they don't NEED evidence.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The question "How to propose a girl who doesn't talk much to boys" sounds like it was either posed by an Indian person who doesn't speak English all that well, or a bot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  1. OP is from India. Check before assuming.
  2. Bots nowadays are rather good at generating grammatically sound sentences. The issue is usually not conveying meaning, but that doesn't happen with OP.
  3. If the issue is the lack of "to" after "propose", keep in mind that verb regency can vary even among native speakers of a language. So while "propose a girl" might look incorrect for a Canadian or American, well, it's on the same level as a Brit complaining because you forgot the U in "colour".
