Keen.com / Re: Readers w/feedback that predictions happened?

Those are great suggestions and come backs - definitely going to use them! I have gone with “what do you see about me and so and so reconnecting” or “what’s the potential for a relationship with” but even that gives too much info. I also have always fallen into telling them when our last contact is. Which in retrospect is foolish of me.My strategy is always to give the minimum information to readers. For example, the moment the reader pick up the phone, I would go straight asking "what's so and so thinking about our relationship/connection?" even when we are not talking or separated and there is no relationship. Good ones will pick up there is a separation.
If the reader asked me "when was the last communication?" I would say "a while ago" or "quite some time", instead of giving them a specific time.
Sometimes the reader would test me with "is there a female energy around this person?" "do they xxx?" "are they doing xxx?" I always say "I don't know. Please let me know whatever you feel."
I will also ask open-ended questions, instead of giving them options to choose.So when I’m trying to find a new reader to try, what I’m looking for is if their feedback states that predictions have passed. Not “oh they’re so helpful” or “oh they were accurate” but specifically that predictions passed and the more detail the better. And not from the same accounts over and over. Anyone have any recommendations that have that kind of feedback?
I have taken a chance on a few I never tried before and will advise if any predictions come to pass.
This may be a totally unpopular opinion but after all my readings, I just don't think, at least on Keen, there are people that can predict the future. I am not saying there are people that do not have a gift, I just don't believe anyone can see that far out with accuracy and precision every single time. I look for the same, Flora, but I have given up.
To Mattsmom's point, I sometimes do wonder if readers note-share bc sometimes I have readers tell me the exact same things + timelines and then of course, things don't pan out even though I think, well, oh, I heard that consistent feedback from a number of readers.
Interesting take, I often wonder if readers are simply just reading our mind/thoughts as oppose to predicting a future outcome.
I was literally thinking this today bc some readers have just fed off what I said and some even changed their prediction based on me changing my mind about the POI, for example, if I say to them, I am very frustrated and thinking of walking away, they will echo that sentiment. And then they use the 'free will' card. Yes, everyone has free will but ....shouldn't a prediction stand despite free-will? Isn't there really one outcome that unfolds? Like you're either with the person or you're not at the end of it all. You either get the job or you don't. That's why I think long-term predictions, people just can't seem to get them right.
Sorry, went off an a mini-rant, LOL. Feel free to provide another POV.
Yeah I usually always go with, "What do you see coming up for X and I?" but I HATE when they ask the question of last communication. If I say 2 days ago then my reading will be totally different than if I say 2 months ago.
