Dear [Zola],
You remember I hope, that we spent around 20 minutes talking at the party between 12:40 and 1:00 when your boyfriend arrived to take you home. I suspected you to be a deep thinker when you quipped that wrinkles are not necessarily unattractive, and then you offered the example of how smile lines can be most cute since they’re a sign of a life happily lived. I was amazed at how you seemed to choose the right words to make it easy to follow your thoughts. I knew you are a deep thinker when you fully understood the idea that while we might look for everything we need in one person, that it’s often difficult to find all of it in a single package. So we end up dating several until that special someone comes along. Not that we necessarily prefer dating several. But doing so is a necessary evil in the quest to get all our needs fulfilled. It’s either doing that, or contenting ourselves with just living alone.
For someone who’s but 20 years old, you’ve mastered concepts that many people in my experience, don’t even begin to understand until they get into their 40s. I’m glad you found our conversation so stimulating. Maybe at the next party, we’ll talk longer.
It was a joy getting acquainted with you. I wanted to invite you to comment on my blogs. Doesn’t have to be anything long or fancy. Just say hi or type a few sentences here and there. A couple conversations on the blogs with you could really add some valuable content to them I suspect. So I hope you’ll give it a try. If not, no problem. We can just gab at the parties if not on the blogs. I’ll be coming again, for sure.
Take care, and thanks for finding me Saturday night. It was great, after almost two parties, to finally get to know you a little. Write soon.
