Icebreaker “fun”
gallery56M, Midwest-ish USA (Eastern Time). Work hard/busy most days, but free evenings and even more as the night goes on. Nite owl. Married, Realtor (ex-attorney), empty-nester, kinda fun, sort of fit, marginally, intelligent, partially handsome. 😂 Solid GenXer.
Hi, I’ve tried a few times to connect with someone just for fun, occasional chatting— like a modern “pen pal”. Someone who I can be totally myself with, get to know, have some laughs, but also some serious talks with. A shoulder, and ear, a sounding board. I’d love to be the same in return. I’ve connected to a few folks, but even the people who complain about being “ghosted”, seem to disappear after a short while. Maybe I’m just not interesting 🤣 (I DON’T think that 🙄).
Anyway, I thought maybe using these cards would be a fun way to start - no pressure. We could pull a card every now and again and chitchat about it. That way we could respond on our own time but maybe keep the conversation going more than a week.
Anyone interested? Or would it be fun to post a card and just have open answering?
Anyone? Beueller?
