I now feel silly, for writing a poem as an opener to talk to someone on online dating. Mind you, it wasn't a love poem. (They had a question as a conversation starter, and I'd been reading/listening to the Poetic Edda, so I decided to try and answer in norse Ballad style.)

But I still feel silly for putting like... twenty minutes effort into making a poem that very well might never get read if they just decide they don't like my face.
