Monday 2nd December

Welcome to this week’s ORs! Taking inspiration from the Dewey Decimal system—that brilliant library framework for categorising knowledge—our questions are designed to help you connect with thoughtful, like-minded individuals.

This week’s ORs invite you to pause and reflect on what truly resonates with you, offering a mix of thought-provoking and playful dilemmas to keep things interesting each day.

We start with a classic contrast: do you lead with empathy, tuning into others’ emotions, or do you prefer the clarity of logic to navigate the world? From there, Tuesday asks about your ideal escape—would you lose yourself in words at a creative writing retreat or soar above it all on a breathtaking hot air balloon ride?

Midweek, the focus turns to your relationship with books and people: do you read to better understand the world around you, or do you see stories as a refuge from it? Then comes Thursday, diving into your comfort zone—do you dream of remote isolation, or do you come alive in bustling crowds?

Friday heads to the kitchen, asking if you prioritise the freshness and care of farm-to-table dining or embrace the quick, indulgent joy of fast food. On Saturday, it’s all about direction—are you someone who trusts in the precision of GPS, or do you enjoy the tactile satisfaction of navigating with a map?

Finally, Sunday looks inward, exploring your broader perspective: do you find comfort and meaning in tradition, or are you driven by the thrill of pursuing innovation and change?

Each choice is a window into your world—what will you discover about yourself this week?

Not only do the answers to each OR help you find some good Matches, but they also give you potential icebreakers in your Chat. They’re perfect for sparking that budding friendship, or maybe even igniting the conversation when you meet for your first date.

Not checked in on The Library for a while? No worries, you can catch up on the last 30 days of ORs by heading back into the Daily OR once you have answered today’s.
