    That’s fine, that’s what we want you to do.

    We use the purely platonic conversation to get a sense of what level of compatibility there might be. Something physical, something more, what are we feeling.

    Sometimes the companionship of a conversation is enough and we’re both happy to say “this was a lovely chat, bye, have a nice day”

    But occasionally… “thanks for chatting to me, hey I don’t suppose you’d want to come over one day and check out the recreation prop kittyhawk my brother and I are building? I’m stuck in the shop alone on Saturday if you’d like to keep me company and tell me more about old airplanes.”

      Honestly, if I met someone there I’d want to make friends with her, so that she can tell all her friends what a great guy I am.

      If she wants me she can always just tell me. And, at a minimum, girls are easier to look at and generally smell better than guys so I prefer women as friends to men.
