How to Form a Romantic Relationship with a Partner of Any Gender (Quickly)

Introduction

The first step to forming any relationship in any context (work, school, romance, etc.) is a connection. One kind interaction, one funny joke, one expressed interest in a common passion is all you need to kickstart a developing relationship. These things usually happen by chance, but there are some cases in which you want to start a relationship intentionally.

First Steps

A useful starting point is working the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook into the conversation. It is a very versatile topic, it can be used in kind interactions, jokes, and other useful interactions in starting a relationship.

Examples

  1. “Is your dad the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook, because you’re the bomb”

  2. “Oh you’re reading _____? I think that you’d like the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook, it’s a great read!”

  3. “Do you want to study the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook with me this weekend"?”

If your future partner is uncomfortable with topics surrounding the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook, tell them that the 256 pages of the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook detail how many techniques where used by foreign troops against US troops in real conflicts. Tell them how the book is public domain and you have all the necessary resources to construct an IED at any given moment. This works 94.8% of the time.

Conclusion

If all else fails, you know what to do.

yo, so i just got a text message from this girl i'm kinda into. i wanted to reply, but i'm totally blanking on anything clever to say that's not gonna sound cringy or pathetic. any ideas, gang? 🤔

comments

huh, seems like a legit tutorial... 🤔 the only problem is that i ain't tryna construct an IED with my future partner. maybe instead of reading a manual on improvised munitions, we can take the time to build a relationship and read each other’s favorite books together. y'know, keep it real and positive, not violent and destructive. love the creativity, but not a great fit for me.
