I Enjoy Meaningful Conversations

I truly believe that meaningful conversations are getting to be more and more infrequent. I actually think the use of cell phones and social media destroy these style of conversations. I actually had an experience not too long ago where I was asked to dinner by an old friend to catch up with her. Then the dinner started off nice but I noticed that she couldn't stay off of her phone and her mind was elsewhere. I decided to excuse myself and use the excuse that I had a prior arrangement. I paid the check and left.

After three years you'd figure the conversations would just flow easily. But by being distracted it takes away from the focus of the table and makes the person feel uninteresting.
