Monday 14th October

Welcome to this week’s ORs, where our questions, drawn from the Dewey Decimal system used by libraries nationwide to categorise their collections, will introduce you to engaging and kind-hearted people.

Monday begins with a challenging philosophical question, asking if you are spontaneous or if you prefer to carefully plan your decisions. Then we swim on over to the aquarium, asking if this is your kind of place, or might it be a relaxing stroll round a botanical garden instead? Taking in your favourite kind of literary characters, how you like to eat and your view on innovations in technology, we complete the week by exploring whether or not the big global issues like climate change matter more to you than what is happening outside your front door. 

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.

Here’s what’s in store over the next 7 days:

Monday: Spontaneous decision-maker OR Careful planner

Tuesday: Visiting an Aquarium OR Exploring a Botanical Garden

Wednesday: Relate to rebellious protagonists OR Admire rule-abiding characters

Thursday: Escaping to tranquil mountain resorts OR Indulging in lively urban shopping districts

Friday: Diving into elaborate multi-course meals OR Preferring light and healthy salads

Saturday: Tech optimist OR Tech pessimist

Sunday: Focusing on global issues OR Engaging with local matters
