Ok, background. Met a girl the other day, got on great etc swapped phone numbers. She went back to uni the following day and is gone for 2.5 months, so its email correspondence for now. We’ve said we can ask each other one completely random question at the end of each email, and hers was describe yourself in 5 words… I know you can’t describe me, but I don’t want to come out with 5 boring words like honest, funny, kind etc… So, faced with the question what would you respond with??
Honestly? Neurotic, needy, pretentious, nice, introverted.
However, for self promotion purposes: Bright, sporty, genuine, imaginative, very-outgoing-&-enthusiastic (yeah, I know, but hopefully I can hyphenate myself through the loophole in the 5 word rule)
They’re all true, but the former group is basically what I’m feeling inside while trying to present to the world the mask glommed together from the latter 5 descriptions.

How many was that??
D’oh!
Id make it 11 words: Where only the 5 answers would count.
Something like…
Favourite:
Colour: Twilight
Smell: Bleached Hair
Food: Chip Butties
Clothing: Socks
Sound: Train Horn
That would impress me well. Moreso than "Charming, Witty, Cute, Honest, Blah Blah Blah. or Something that made me laugh.
Decent chicks aren’t impressed with men who can compliment themselves @ the drop of a hat, so Id think youd get more brownie points by offering bits of who you are and what you like.
