    People do that when they don’t have an answer. I can’t remember the last song I’ve saved, for instance.

      These people need to learn how to conversation then. Remember: it’s not an interrogation or exam, you don’t have to exactly answer the question as though you’ll be flunked out of a class for the wrong answer. So:

      “Oh man, I don’t remember. But I really like x by y. What kind of music do you listen to?”

      It’s not that hard.

      People do that when they don’t know the basics of interacting with another human being.

      Just say whatever song you like. It’s better than acting like a jerk. Even saying “I can’t remember, I haven’t heard a song in a long time” is better than being a jerk with a person you just met on a DATING APP.

        I haven’t heard a song in a long time

        That’s a really funny way to phrase 'i’m not much of a music person".

        Well, right, I’m not saying I’d do this. If I had to online date, heaven forbid, I’d be my authentic self. I’m so glad I never had to do this stuff. Met my wife on AOL in their chat rooms way back in the day, lol

      I don’t do that. Just tell the truth, no need to drag a question out like this, it’s incredibly annoying. Just say you can’t remember since it’s all streaming now.
