"Getting to know you, getting to feel free and easy..."

[ailbhe]

I have a little list of people I'd like to get to know better. Trouble seems to be, I don't deal well with "group > 3 people" situations, and it's not really Done to set up tiny meetings of people one doesn't really know in order to get to know them better (sudden thought - it's ok for people who are Dating, but not for people who want friends. Whyso?).

Also in addition as well, I find it difficult to talk to people I admire greatly; I invest a lot in their opinion of me and am often afraid, in real life, of doing or saying anything which might tarnish their opinion. I get upset when their feet of clay show up, too.

I'll think about this more later. Wanted to get it out there.

Lunch is always a good time to meet individuals for GTKY conversations.

Lunch is appropriately casual and non-date-like, yes. I shall consider.

Reading's what? A 30 minute train ride, maybe one can be persuaded to make it out to Reading to lunch, especially after the parsimonious part of the month is past.
