>What do you read?

>I don't know if I could read that. I think the most complicated thing I ever read was Hegel. I liked that and Kierkegaard
>hhhmmhmhmhhmhmhhhhhhhhhhhhgghgaahg
how the fuck do you respond to a blindside like this? I just fumbled with a potentially /lit/ qt today because I wasn't sure if she was making fun of me or if I was just outclassed. Starting to reevaluate my priorities.

realize that she is just faking. if you asked her what she liked about either she would have looked stunned and changed the subject.

[Anonymous No.10680864]

It must have been banter. Either that or she was autistic and unironically thought that reading Hegel is more entertaining than Dostoevsky and Tolstoy.

When she told you she liked Kierkegaard you should have asked her if she was a Christian. Cute Christian autistic girls are the very top tier of waifus.

She is a Christian, of the no-sex-before-marriage variety. I know this because she managed to work it into the conversation the very first time we met. Come to think of it, maybe she is autistic.

I met her through a mutual friend who wanted to start a jazz band/jam group on the weekends. I play bass, she sings. I haven't talked to her much before today about anything other than music and this came totally out of the blue.

This, OP. You should have immediately done your best Kierkegrug impression, and mocked her mercilessly. Stress that not only did she certainly misunderstand the concepts he was laying out, but that even if she had it wouldn't matter since Kierkegaard and Hegel were both caveman-level idiots who offered nothing to humanity. That's how you really make women like you.

[Anonymous No.10681410]

I've fallen into this trap before. Thought someone was bluffing about having read all of Shakespeare's work, so I asked them what they thought about The Two Gentlemen of Verona and they spoke for 2 whole fucking minutes summarizing how integral the play was in developing Shakespeare's ability so he could go on to master his later plays, while also giving me several exact quotes from it.

Needless to say I looked quite the fool when he flipped the question back on me, as I hadn't even read it yet and I'd only seen a few excerpts.

DO NOT BRING UP HEGEL AGAIN. IF YOU READ IT, WHICH YOU SHOULDN'T, JUST KEEP IT AS AMMO IF SHE EVER MENTIONS IT.
While you passed for not consuming her obvious bait, consider this a technical failure for reading Hegel. There is no world where Hegel is a topic between non-platonic persons of any gender.

The correct way to deal with Shakespeare nerds is talk exclusively about your favorite dick jokes in whatever play they bring up. Bonus points if you can drop a quote or two. Used to do this to my gf after going to plays and she eventually stopped dragging me along to them.
