A friend of mine recently acquired a new girlfriend. The problem is: she asks too many questions. She asks about everything under the sun. She’s constantly peppering me with questions and I hardly know her. There are quite a few areas she asks about that I don’t necessarily want to talk about – my health, for example, with which I have had ongoing issues for the past few years.
So instead, I beat them to the punch. Before you ask: “Will Pam and Dave be installing a hot tub in their new domicile?” Hell yes. Good luck trying to get in touch with us, but if you are able to manage it, all you may hear on the other end of the line will be the peaceful bubbling of water. But allow me quietly to unpack a thought or two about the gentle art of conversation – in a way perhaps my favourite art, even above literature and plays, because it’s more two-way:
And so it goes. Ideally, neither of us should interrupt one another – though this of course happens – basically it’s best if you can limit yourself to plopping in what my wife calls an “interjection”– as opposed to a full-on interruption or whatcall a flat-out “derailment” wherein one not only interrupts but shows no interest in returning to the story someone was telling …Anyway, point being I don’t think anyone should enter a conversation with a bunch of hard-and-fast rules.
This column is terribly written and I feel bad for anyone who actually paid to read it.
There's more to this story than meets the eye. Your friend's gf is my gf's friend of his gfs sister.
That’s all you’ve got in the middle of a pandemic and a total breakdown in Ottawa? Sad!
Maybe you should be single if you’re offended by personal questions from Someone who sucks your D for you
Give her false, preposterous and amusing answers.
ask her if she wants the D
Why are YOU spending any time with your friends girlfriend?
