Online dating - would you date someone who has no hobbies?

I’m giving the online dating another try for my sins. Been messaging a guy for a couple of days and he’s told me that all he does is work and watch tv and he’s looking for someone to inject some fun back into his life. Red flag?

@SpringlikeBunk Interesting! Obviously, do what works for you/you feel comfortable with. However, his response to her gave almost no info, asked her nothing and gave no opening for continuing the conversation. Thus the ‘pulling teeth’ comments.

It’s very difficult to chat with people who do this and - for me, personally - being able to have a conversation is at least as important as the person being attractive or any of the other things you mention. A message doesn’t need to overcomplicated or try hard, but I do require that some effort is made and the guy doesn’t come across as painfully dull.

Not sure why anyone would want to meet if the bit of chat beforehand wasn’t enjoyable! And I certainly wouldn’t be moving the conversation to other channels to give them as many opportunities as possible to be awkward conversationalists. I’d wish them well and unmatch.

I understand that some people might want to keep certain things private but saying 'Just ask me' is just lazy. A lot of them must know that if they said they just liked watching TV and couldn't list interests (which are different to hobbies), then a lot women wouldn't be interested unless they were exactly the same.
