Don't get me wrong, this place really isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. I've met some very cool people here. Lonely, and sometimes frustrated people, but who isn't at that place in this day and age? But it just seems like a lot of the people here are looking for the same thing... some similar interests that can help them give the conversation some steam for a bit, an attractive face or, at least, attractive enough, and maybe a little naughty fun, if things go well. And that is great if it goes well, it's an amazing feeling... until it fizzles out and they find themselves back here. But that's okay, then they can start over and find someone new, right?
I don't know about you, but I was thinking I would like to try something different here, and I was wondering if you wanted to take a chance on walking down a different path with me? Like, what could we do differenly, based on all the other times we have tried this, that might set our connection apart? What if we just didn't share a pic with each other, for a long a time, if ever, so we don't get all dumb and at a loss for words when we find out how attracted we are to each other? How would doing that change the way our connection forms? Or, what if we gave each other tasks, maybe increasingly difficult or time consuming ones as we got to know each other... Like, go read this article, and we can talk about it when you are done... Even if it took a few days for you to finish it, in and around the real world and real life. That one would be difficult for me because I definitely fall into that pattern of, good morning, how's your day, how's your evening, okay, good night, very easily, but what if our connection didn't rely on constant checking in? Or, what if we skipped the chit chat and got to know about each other's character through difficult questions and embarrassing stories? How would that affect our impression of each other?
I understand. I really do get it. This may not be for everyone, and there are plenty of other posts out there to choose from. I was really only talking to you any way, and yeah, I know, it sounds interesting but it's not like it's a fully realized idea at all. Nope. Just something lingering in the back of my mind while I shuffle through the day. But maybe it's something you want to chat about in theory, even if we don't put the idea in practice. I would like that too. I know you are there, feeling like you don't quite fit in, even in this place among all of the people that don't quite fit in. That's why you and I should get out of here and chat somewhere quiet. And if it doesn't work out, that's okay, we can still take the ideas we came up with on our next adventure.
