Monday 9th December

Welcome to this week’s ORs! Inspired by the Dewey Decimal system—the trusty method libraries use to bring order to their shelves—these questions are here to spark connections with warm, friendly souls.

This week’s ORs are all about exploring who you are and what makes you tick, with choices that get you thinking, dreaming, and maybe even surprising yourself.

We start with a big one: do you crave the comfort of stability, or do you thrive on the excitement of embracing uncertainty? From there, Tuesday lets you step into the arts or the outdoors—will you soak up the energy of a poetry slam or the serenity of birdwatching?

Midweek, we dive into stories. Are you someone who loves escaping into fantastical worlds, or do you prefer literature that keeps you grounded in reality? Thursday takes us to how you recharge—are you off adventuring in the wild or unwinding in the luxury of a resort?

As Friday rolls around, it’s time to think about food. Would you rather savour the vibrant chaos of a cultural food festival or enjoy the quiet comfort of a dinner at home? On Saturday, it’s a question of how you engage with the world—are you all about the efficiency of digital, or do you still cherish the tactile charm of paper?

Finally, we end the week with a philosophical turn: do you place your trust in the enduring wisdom of the past, or do you lean towards the ever-evolving progress of science?

It’s a thoughtful and playful journey—where will your answers take you?

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.
