Friends? 🫣

1. Start with the basics my dude. People always malign small talk, but the fact is that most relationships begin with small talk. It’s the human equivalent of when dogs carefully circle each other while sniffing. It’s your first little way of telling someone “I will not bite you as soon as you get close and I am not crazy in an obvious way.”

   You small talk about little things like kids and pets and jobs and movies and books, and in a controlled way build up to more personal topics.
