Monday 21st October

Welcome to this week’s ORs, where our questions, inspired by the Dewey Decimal system used by libraries across the nation to organise their collections, will connect you with friendly and captivating individuals.

Monday begins with an interesting philosophical teaser, based on History but still so pertinent today, asking where you stand on the freedoms of the individual versus the need for collective responsibility. Next, we get deep into your sense of self, exploring your feelings about change. Things lighten up for the rest of the week, where we ask you to think about how you’d prefer to spend your time and whether you’d rather enjoy some street food or your own home cooking, before ending the week with an interesting Technology choice.

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: Supporting individual freedom OR Advocating for collective responsibility

Tuesday: Open to change OR Resistant to change

Wednesday: Joining a Martial Arts Class OR Attending a Meditation Retreat

Thursday: Drawn to romance novels OR Prefer political thrillers

Friday: Retreating to quiet countryside cottages OR Enjoying the vibrancy of city nightlife

Saturday: Exploring trendy street food markets OR Cooking comforting meals at home

Sunday: Welcome automation OR Fear job loss

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.
