The samatarians asked me these brilliant questions. What kind of type are you?

Re 3) When I moved back to my old town and was trying to make new friends, I used to attend some meetings for that purpose (there was an app for that in my area).

Some worked on the system of creating random pairs. I was tired of having the same conversations "where are you from, where do you work" etc. over and over so I was trying to be creative with initial questions such as...

- What would it be like if everyone on Earth spoke the same language?

- Say you're the only person on the planet to be contacted by aliens. You can't know if they are friendly or not, do you invite them for a visit?

(I remembered these 2 today when I was thinking what topic would I do if I ever opened Jim's Cafe for a day. Feel free to steal these.)

I have a better idea you can open the cafΓ© one morning it's not that hard and if you have questions you can ask me or others.

eventually English will be the pimary language as earth becomes united(it may take centuries) and I would not only invite them but would willingly go with them. mike *dance1*hug

I'm not a good host and even worse in the mornings, I think I'll leave morning openings to someone else.

Another thing I'd thought of today (not for a cafe or for talking to stranger obviously) is what if everyone on SF just went ahead and we based our own lil' country. People here are among the friendliest anywhere yet many suffer from loneliness, abandonment, neglect and other issues. Seems like if we all got together it would be pretty cool. Almost constant physical sucide watch to boot.

I get crazy ideas if you haven't noticed.

1) To become more outgoing and carefree.
2) Anything that's beyond the usual small talk because I don't find it very fulfilling.
3) Usually with a compliment or something, although I usually wait for others to start the conversation because I am shy or don't want to bother them.

1) What kind of your social life would you like to recapture?
A couple of close friends to hang out with. I'm not much of a people person.

2) Which topics do you find most fascinating? The appropriate or inappropriate? Why?
Appropriate? Psychology, metaphysics, physics, time and a lot more things along those lines. I find learning, knowing, theorizing and stretching the mind fascinating.
Inappropriate? Well there are several inappropriate things I find fascinating. We'll leave it at that.

3) How do you think you should begin the conversation with strangers?
I usually start with "hi"

1) Don't really want to recapture my social life as the other wasn't working for me. I want to build a better social life with more people I connect with.

2) Hmm. Loads. I love music and creative things. The human brain/psychology and biology, sociology, criminology, animal behaviour, world views and people's beliefs

3) Would depend on the circumstances

I thought I was done with homewok when I was done with school lol
That's made me laugh, thanks!

1) What kind of your social life would you like to recapture?

The socialising part. I struggle to fit into your typical social situations. You can talk to me and I will talk but it is likely I will reach a moment in the conversation where I have nothing to say or I don't understand what you are talking about, and well, forcing a conversation is difficult so I tend to avoid them but I'm trying to come out my shell a little more when I can. I also don't make eye contact or use a great deal of body language when talking to people and apparently this is quite important in conversations as a lot is said non-verbally using these techniques but I wouldn't know really.

2) Which topics do you find most fascinating? The appropriate or inappropriate? Why?

Music, sports, film, chess, humans, sea life, gaming, architecture, religion, politics, fitness, tv shows, etc. It changes regularly. I say that I enjoy lots of things but really there is only a few things that matter the most.

Wazzzuuuppp!

i'm surprised that number 2 appropriate or inappropriate nobody mentioned sex. i'm 61 in poor heath and sex is still important to me. I decided as long as everything still works i'm going to be interested in sex until july 26 , 2054. then i'll quit
