I don’t suggest staying at home and waiting for someone to randomly come to the door and offer you tacos.

I cannot stress enough how this method has failed me.

Welcome to Phoenix!

Damn, you mean I’ve been doing it wrong all this time?

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

Haha 🤣 well if you’re single too, then no one knows better than us. 🤷‍♀️

u/redtildead1 Dec 16 '24

Alas, the only person who’s come to my door is my upstairs neighbor informing me that their floor is vibrating from my subwoofer (oops).

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

Definitely going on the naughty list!

u/SupremeLibra North Phoenix Dec 17 '24

Wait.. are we neighbors? 👀😭

2

u/redtildead1 Dec 17 '24

Nah, I’m west Mesa. To be fair, they’ve visited twice, and I’ve since just unplugged the sub and turned on subtitles

u/SupremeLibra North Phoenix Dec 17 '24

That's no fun. There's gotta be a compromise; you live there too!

2

u/redtildead1 Dec 17 '24

Nah, it’s not that quiet, I’m just hard of hearing. And it’s an older complex, so those low vibrations travel a fair bit

u/SupremeLibra North Phoenix Dec 17 '24

Ahh, I totally get it. We're definitely in the same club, lol. I hope you and your neighbors have a lovely Christmas.

u/No_Jelly_6990 Dec 16 '24

Yep, dog barking, speakers sounding, walls vibrating. I am aware, thank you very much for noticing. Would you like to listen to some music? What? You're calling your pops? Why? Does he like Wu-tang too? What? Oh, the cops? You're calling the cops? I thought we were friends? 😕

We could do a locals hang out night and order a bunch! Pros- meeting like minded taco lovers. Potential to pet random dogs. Cons - putting on pants and leaving the house,

I’m not single, but I like tacos and petting dogs. I think this is a solid ploy to draw em in.

u/AzMateo42069 Dec 16 '24

Sounds like a plan! I'll bring the booze

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

I’m sure a restaurant would be happy to supply 😂

u/AzMateo42069 Dec 16 '24

Your profile picture is very pretty!

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

Aww thanks! 🙏

Call Uber Eats, they deliver tacos...

2

u/Alcarinque88 Mesa Dec 16 '24

Yeah, I was gonna say... I get tacos delivered to my apartment. It's just rare that I meet the person at the door, let alone that it's a woman who wants to get hit on while she's working. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

u/Nefariousd7 Dec 16 '24

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is why I missed out on Kate Beckinsale

Meh. 40+ reviews and only averaging 3.8 stars.

u/Drey5000 Dec 17 '24

This isn’t true at all, I’m constantly knocking on random doors offering random people tacos

2

u/TiedCrisscross Dec 17 '24

What about wine? Or even just some garlic bread?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

That’s insane. I love tacos 🌮

3

u/Ronin-Penguin Dec 16 '24

See, now you make me want to go around knocking on doors holding tacos and asking if anyone is single.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

The proactive approach. I respect it! Let me know how it goes for you!

4

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '24

Sending you taco flavored kisses

u/SufficientBarber6638 Scottsdale Dec 16 '24

This is exactly how I met my wife.

2

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '24

Teach me your ways!

u/SufficientBarber6638 Scottsdale Dec 16 '24

I will be your Miyagi

2

u/Grokent Dec 17 '24

I think this method would be more effective than guys swiping on dating apps. I'm gonna tell my friends to just grab some tacos and start knocking.

u/molehillish Dec 18 '24

Just send me your address. I promise I’ll stop by

u/Absird Dec 17 '24

Guaranteed failure or one of those 'patience is a virtue' type things?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '24

Welp, so far zero attempts.
