But if you wish to treat him to a date, here's what you should know.
When this editor asked ChatGPT for ideas on how to treat a boda guy, the aim was to establish if the chatbot has any idea what a boda boda is or who a boda guy is. Below are the responses.
1. Consider your relationship with him
While this answer seems generic, the bot seems to be intuitive about date etiquette. Even for a boda guy, you might not know him well enough to invite him out of the blue.
ChatGPT's response:
"If you're interested in taking your boda guy on a date, here are some steps you can follow:
Get to know him: Start by striking up a conversation with your boda guy and getting to know him better. Ask him about his interests, hobbies, and favorite foods. This will give you an idea of what kind of date he might enjoy."
2. Find a favourable venue
Next, the bot surprised the editor by pointing out accurately that your boda guy may not be overly available so timing is everything for you and him.
ChatGPT's response:
"Plan the date: Based on your conversation with your boda guy, come up with a plan for the date. Keep in mind that he might not have a lot of free time, so choose a date that can be done in a reasonable amount of time. For example, you could plan a picnic in a nearby park, a coffee or drink at a local café, or a movie night at your place."
3. Make your intentions clear
Ultimately, you have to consider how your offer might be received. Don't leave room for your intentions to be misconstrued.
ChatGPT's response:
"Ask him out: Once you have a plan in mind, ask your boda guy out on a date. Be clear about your intentions and make it clear that you're interested in him romantically. You could say something like, "I've really enjoyed our conversations and I was wondering if you'd like to go out on a date with me this weekend?"
4. Respect
Interestingly, it was also able to confirm who a boda guy is and the kind of relationship that may be involved. Don't ask your boda guy on a date because someone else did. Be mindful and really consider if it is something your own experience can support.
ChatGPT response:
"Be respectful: If your boda guy declines your offer, respect his decision and don't pressure him. Remember that he might feel uncomfortable about dating a customer, or he might not be interested in you romantically. If he does accept your offer, make sure to treat him with respect throughout the date."
5. Consider other options
After setting boundaries, understand the implications. Is this a one-time thing? Could you simply give him a gift or cash to treat himself? Although you may want to do something nice, the ultimate goal is for him to enjoy himself.
ChatGPT's response:
"Have fun: Ultimately, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy your time together. Be present, be yourself, and focus on getting to know your boda guy better. If things go well, you can plan more dates in the future."
