Kind souls of Google,
Would you be kind enough to refer me to a role at Google!
Came across a role that's a good fit.
Would ideally like to target it through a referral and not by applying through the career site.
Would also love to maybe take you for a meal or alike to thank you for it.

Doesn’t sound odd. It’s a serious screening question, instead of small talk. Move on if you don’t like it.
Exactly. One of those rare events when Deloitte and EY are on the same page.
Nah. Good question actually.
I actually like ppl who go straight to the point I mean it’s saving one’s time and energy
Nothing wrong with that question. Everyone wants their partner to play some role and contribute. Seems like you want a dumb partner. It's your personal choice, but he still deserves to know that he got to play dumb.
What happened to open communication, transparency, emotional intelligence, and all those healthy relationship concepts?
You’re a manager but can’t manage your life? Delegate to him to take control
I get it, but there's something to be said for flirting and developing a connection before jumping to the role he will play in your life.
I think it's like, I'm not putting work n effort into it if it's short fleeting. Do the do and move on kind of thing. I wish all men were this straight forward.
To me it seems like a genuine question to see if you're on the same page right from the start. Not wasting time. Direct. I like that kind of thing!

The phrasing is weird but it has great intent.
Yeah seems like a (weirdly) rephrased version of the very reasonable "What are you looking for on here?" question.
Not weird at all.. I would often ask why are you seeking a partner? You would be surprised how many stumbled this!!
Stumbled it how?
It’s strange phrasing for sure but getting at a valid sentiment. Some men want a more equal relationship and other men want to be “in control” and want a partner who also wants a more traditional relationship based on gender roles.
Fair. Based on his profile, he seems like the latter (he didn’t outwardly say this but just picking up on hints). I guess this is why I was put off by the question.
What's up sweetheart, yeah, a lot of 4 people in gotta respect today. I do my Grandma raised me s*** She whipped that s*** into us boys, not everybody's the same. That's just it, so I give everybody a fair chance, but what's up anyway
Yeah, that’s definitely more of a third or fourth date kinda question.
Yes i need alittle help how do I know who's who on here? Sometimes it says it, sometimes it don't. I click on some post, and it just says what it says, don't say who it is manager or whatever...

It’s worded oddly, but I appreciate the directness. Quite refreshing, actually. Get to the point and see if you’re compatible. If not, no time wasted.
Hey what's up sweetheart
