![As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ugcmot4f3ool6cottht63wx4/bafkreierpoqvjgg5hqx3zhtlfmvrfq3vaakb3h5wppcdzrvs5jh3zr7ce4@jpeg)

![GN4M: Urban Legend. That was like your lone horror movie. You know, every actor has to succumb to the cheesy horror flick at some point in their career.
JL: What's that?
Wait! That was me in Urban Legend.
IGN4M: When you did Urban Legend.
JL: What's that?
IGN4M: That horror flick you did back in 1998.
JL: I didn't do that.
IGN4M: Yeah you did. You were the college newspaper reporter...
JL: I was?
IGN4M: Yeah.
JL: Get the $%&* outta here! What are you talkin' about [laughs].
IGN4M: Urban Legend, dude. That horror movie about urban myths with Rebecca Gayheart.
JL: I don't even remember that.
IGN4M: Okay...obviously it wasn't that good of an experience then.
JL: [laughs] I don't even know what you're talkin' about dude.
IGN4M: You were the damn lead, this college newspaper reporter and all the kids in school were dying around you.
JL: That's so weird. I've never even heard of that movie.
IGN4M: You're kidding, right?
JL: No.
IGN4M: Alright, dude.
JL: [laughs]
IGN4M: Seems like you've erased a minor historical footnote in your burgeoning film career.
JL: I must of had a blackout [laughs].
IGN4M: I guess we're all allowed one of those.
JL: Yeah [laughs]. You live and you learn, you know what I mean?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bjsyop3pfdy3ot7hao4iw4fc/bafkreic63ohicvq2flsefpvzdogu43u2mw76iubdzsdlbar2bxh3monzvm@jpeg)
