Earlier in the school year I was driving with my youngest sister and she randomly asked me, "how do you meet people?" I was a little thrown by the question, and I (intelligently) replied "huh?" Then she said, "ya, like in general, where do you find people to be your friend and just meet or date or whatever?" And I wasn't really sure what she meant because I've never really had to meet people. Whenever someone new enters my life like a friend or whoever, it just happens and I don't really think about how it happened.
For example, I recently made friends with this girl that I work with. She's really cool and we've become nice friends, but if I were to think about how it happened, I have no clue, it just did somehow.
Then yesterday I had the experience I required to answer her question. I was sitting at home, bundled in my chinchilla, just doing some readings when the doorbell rang. I went to the door and this guy (probably about 23 yrs old- so my age) was at the door who worked for some Ontario green power thing.
He needed to look at my hot water heater and I was obviously sketched out a little bit, so the conversation probably went on a little longer than it would have at most doors. And this guy seemed smart funny and was quite attractive. Then BAM I realized there was definite flirting going on! Then I thought hmm, wouldn't it be the weirdest ever if I asked him if he wanted to have coffee (which I obviously did not because I was too busy having my epiphany to get my shit together).
So, then he left after quite a few laughs, and him not getting to see the hot water heater. When I closed the door I finally realized and understood what my sister meant. How do you meet people that aren't completely and totally foisted upon you like my work pal was?
