This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hike sound like 1st date PC to anyone? I mean, it depends on the definition of hike but someone I barely know dragging me to an isolated place in the woods somewhere sounds like a legit way to end up being drug through the woods with a much higher probability than the typical coffee shop date.

Also, who doesn't have work-mances without deeper meaning? I always have beer after work bros and lunch/break dates with my coworkers but that has no meaning beyond. In fact, I've always had a strict rule of never shit in my own back yard. If I was so inclined as to date someone from work, I would not do so until after finding a new job.

what do you mean by "1st date PC"?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

It's tradition to bring your date a new PC on the occasion of your first date. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it should at least boot.

Probably "Personal Choice"

politically correct in a more social the kind of thing a person should do context, like cultural norms

[–] clickyello@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

oh huh ok that was the only thing that made any sense but it seemed like a weird context for that term.

to answer the question I think it really depends on the person but I wouldn't wanna go on a hike with anon, that's for sure.

Arguably, they know each other from work, so it's not like the guy could just bury her somewhere remote and act like nothing happened. If she tells other people about the date, police will surely come and ask him.

Sounds normal to me, but I think you're right that it depends on what they mean by "hike." Around here, a casual trail walk in an area that's likely to have other people around would not be beyond the pale... But like a back country slog where you park on the shoulder of a secondary highway 45 minutes out of town would.
