Helloooo lovely readers of the Goddess Blog, it is a very sunny morning here in Istanbul so I decided to share some of the sunlight with you guys in the shape of a hot, enthralling post for your pleasure! Today’s post is going to be a sort of a guide on how to ‘Netflix and chill’ properly. So be sure to pick up on the thought of the Goddess, and while you’re at it, if you have some free time on your hands, be sure to check out the HIVE-powered social media Ecency, a network that is filled with a lot of talented people! Without any further ado, lets dig right into today’s post and as always, remember to let the Goddess have some beautiful cups of coffee along your read!
Our parents claim that technology has made us lazy and that we expect everything to just be handed to us in the comfort of our homes without any face-to-face interactions. Well, I’m here to tell you they are absolutely, 100 percent, without any shadow of a doubt, correct. That being said, there are far too many misconceptions as to how Netflix and chill is supposed to work.
When you once again find yourself neglected and online, follow these steps to get laid (or at the very least, watch a dope movie).
1. Get To Know Them..
There’s a mistaken belief around the institution of Netflix and chill that it is only used on prospective partners you don’t know well. False. The only true way that Netflix and chill has any chance at success is if you get to know them a little bit. Don’t just text that guy or girl you met for five minutes on Tinder and then had to ask a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend to get you their number. No one wants to Netflix and chill with that creeper.
2. ..But Not Too Much
Here is where the delicate balance of a successful Netflix and chill kicks in. You want to have a credible relationship with the person you’re chilling with, but you can’t have too much of a relationship so that they would see a Netflix and chill invitation to be an affront to common human decency. Just talk about your favorite movies or TV shows. It’s fun, flirty and, best of all, casual.
3. Buy Netflix, Duuuhhh
An integral, yet often overlooked step. Most people assume that Netflix and chill just means nominally watching some form of media and then moving on to rest of the night. No, that’s wrong. You can’t Netflix and chill with Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus or basic cable. That’s like going to Harry’s for dinner or your Washington University Student Associates for cake. It’s just a poor decision.
4. Clean Up
No one wants to come over to a disgusting room. Move your dirty clothes from the chair, make your bed, straighten something; it all makes a difference. Also, if you have some time, make a run to the store and buy nice decorative lights. They vibe with any room, and even better, they don’t give off enough light to illuminate the pigsty you live in.
5. TV ON!
Most aspiring Netflix and chillers forget that the major key is not asking if someone wants to Netflix and chill and then fumbling around for something to watch, but actually starting the night without them. Get something going, it really doesn’t matter what it is.
6. Craft Your Text
Where “Heyyy” might have worked in the olden days, people have now figured out the tricks. There are guides out there explaining what each successive “y” on the word means. Don’t fall into that pitfall. Instead, you want to sound intriguing and mysterious, but still casual and disinterested. Your prospective partner must want to come of their own volition; there is no pressure in a mutual consenting Netflix and chill. Start with a “Hey, I’m watching the new Game of Thrones, have you seen it?” Or maybe, “Hey, just watched the Red Wedding episode and could use a shoulder to cry on?” Or even, “Have you ever heard of Game of Thrones?” It’s a choose your own adventure, but keep in mind the first impression you’re giving off.
7. Send It!
Don’t laugh, many a brave candidate has lost the nerve to send their missive at the midnight hour. The Goddess, an old guard of the Netflix and chill, supports you in all your endeavors.
8. When You Hear A Knock On The Door..
..you open the door. Simple, right? :D
9. Chill
It’s up to you now, dear lovely ‘Netflix and chill’ soul. Watch out for the awkward pauses when Netflix wants to know if you’re still watching. Leave the sound on as a courtesy to your suitemates. And make your move early before both of you get sucked into whatever you’re actually watching. Otherwise, there’s nothing else I can tell you.
That is it for today’s post guys and galssss! I hope you enjoyed the read as much as I am enjoying Istanbul! :D
Have a great day ahead of you, Goddess will be back tomorrow with a brand new post,
