I'd Rather Get To Know You Than Small Talk

It seems difficult to find someone [i]anywhere[/i] who wants to hold a deep conversation. And the dating sites are a world of their own. From my experience, they're more about satisfying images and accommodating criteria - people looking for people who's demons play well with theirs - than seeking true relationships.

Yes, people ARE afraid to be vulnerable. But the subject matter of deep conversation needn't necessarily include anything so personal as to [i]require[/i] vulnerability. That is, unless it's engaging in deep conversation, itself, that's frightening.

People are going to be only as vulnerable with others as they're willing to be with themselves. And, as Carl Jung so eloquently put it, "People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own soul."

Would you care to take a chance on the possibility of my nurturing your vulnerability in the course of any conversation you might care to have? No judgements or criticisms. I promise.

A deep conversation is everything that I want.

No one wants to be hurt by others and I know it happens at times. Sometimes just because people play with others and don't really care about their feelings. I hope you find that special personal that fills that hap.

It's a very difficult thing sometimes, to be sure. 🙂 Especially once you've been hurt a few times along the way. 😅

I tend to be that way and end up getting let down in conversation. Such is life

You’re right. Without a bit of risk the reward will always be minimal at best.

i love when someone wants to get to know me. i welcome 🙏 that. ❤️

I so agree. I could have written this post.
