Indulge me in this.
It was a quiet afternoon, and you were meeting someone new. Someone you do not know much about, and spoken to only once or twice before. You were meeting up because both of you are craving for companionship, and… to be perfectly honest, you were slightly more than intrigued by this new persona who was, at that moment, a blank canvass to you.
What is the socially acceptable (read: not making yourself to be a complete dork in the process) thing to do in such a situation?
