I’m a Netflix, Dog and Diet Coke, What Are You?

Do you ever have those people that you just can’t figure out why you aren’t connecting? Like there should be something there, but you just can’t figure out why nothing is clicking? I have an incredibly silly, fun but shockingly accurate way to figure out why I can’t connect with someone. Of course this isn’t scientific and in no way is an actual diagnosis of what is the issue or lack of connection, but it’s so far never let me down! Of course once the answers are in, it’s not an excuse to get out. It just shares more information about the person but you have to dig in if you are going to be working together, etc to find commonality. Anyhoo, want to know what it is?

I ask three basic questions in the below order. Sometimes I don’t even have to make it all the way through to figure out nope, we’re not going to be a good match. (I cannot stress enough how this is just a silly thing I do.) Read for the test? Let’s take it!

Are You a Dog or a Cat Person?

Okay this is a classic and not hard to understand why I ask it. If I can’t figure out why something isn’t clicking, I ask them this. I’ve so far met one cat in my life that I really liked (my photographers) but I just can’t click with cat owners. Yes, I know all of you are fine and have many wonderful qualities. If we click online and you have a cat, we aren’t over.

Netflix or Hulu

My fiance and I have very opposite TV viewing habits. I don’t have time in my life for commercials and don’t really enjoy watching weekly episodes. I want to deep-binge TV and not have to wait. I would rather wait for the entire series to go on Netflix and then just watch it all at one time. Hulu? Why do we have to pay to watch commercials (and the same ones every single time) and then still be stuck watching weekly episodes? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Pepsi or Coke

Here is my ranking of Pepsi products. Vanilla coke zero > Coke Zero > Diet Coke > Water > Death > Diet Pepsi. Think I am exaggerating? Then you haven’t had the misfortune of being at a table where I was given a Diet Pepsi when they said they had Diet Coke and the sadness that then permeates.

All jokes aside, I was sharing this the other day to a friend. Totally laughed it off and said I was slightly insane. Aren’t we all? THEN SHE CAME BACK AND SAID SHE USED IT AND IT NAILED WHY SHE WASN’T CLICKING WITH SOMEONE!

Anyway, let me know what you are! Have fun with it and honestly, worst case throughout this whole thing, you know three more things about people, whether you’ve known them for years or 10 minutes.
