kettlebell_kim Opened it #1
Complete own goal on Saturday and I am posting it as a public service.
I picked the bar. I picked it because it is good and because I have had nice nights there. What I had never done is try to have a first conversation with a stranger in it at half past eight on a Saturday.
We shouted at each other for two hours. I understood maybe half of what she said. She asked me something reasonably serious about halfway through and I answered a completely different question because I had misheard it, and I watched her decide not to correct me.
She was lovely. I have no idea if we get on, because I never actually heard her speak at a normal volume.
I have asked if she fancies a coffee somewhere quiet next week and she said yes, so it is not a disaster. But I have clearly been thinking about venue as where would be nice rather than where can two strangers actually talk.
What do you look for? Is there a rule beyond quiet and public that I should know about?
