Well, this was one of my least-responded-to polls to date. I don't know if the question was unclear, or if it just didn't resonate with folks.
Almost all the comments were along the lines of, "It depends."
I am "about a month". That threads the needle between people being distracted by their previous relationship, and being caught up in another one with somebody who isn't you. The early bird catches the worm!
Thanks everyone who answered or commented.

@kittell so, given it was an imaginary scenario, why did you have such scruples about making a decision? The stakes are really low. It's not like we were voting to make someone real ask someone real on a date.

@evan Honestly, I just didn't think I had an answer that was the same shape as your options. In fact, I would hate to have a template or standard approach to apply to the situation you posed. Seems like it would be different for different people in different situations.

@kittell fair enough!

@evan I don't think scruples got in the way of a choice (I agree with what you said, it is imaginary and low stakes). I think that, underneath the immediate response of "it depends", that I've seen similar scenarios in others and myself that didn't resolve clearly to a single answer. Some people ended a long relationship and it was shattering; some ended one at it was relieving. Just a big variance, I guess.

@evan I mean, compared to "how often do you use a voice assistant", it was really different, eh?
