“I prefer a walk in a busy public place for a first introduction, with a straightforward hello and a shared topic. A good conversation for me might start with books and the stories people return to; I would rather find a shared topic than trade a list of expectations. My pace is about a few thoughtful messages instead of a long interview. What matters at the end is keeping an independent way home from the first meeting, so that interest can be mutual rather than assumed.”
