“I prefer a short coffee stop for a first introduction, with an easygoing tone rather than a rehearsed introduction. A good conversation for me might start with personal projects and what keeps someone curious; I would rather find a shared topic than trade a list of expectations. My pace is about keeping the first conversation short and seeing whether it flows. What matters at the end is being comfortable saying that the fit is not right, so that interest can be mutual rather than assumed.”
