bff updateA few days ago, I asked why people ask how people's days are going and not talk about stuff relevant to common interests.

Ironically, the conversation with the person on BFF who asked me how my day is going has turned into paragraphs, and the conversations with people who I've asked about their specific interests have died a bit.

But I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't know if I'll end up meeting up with any of these people, but I will feel a bit bad if I don't end up meeting the person who is sending paragraphs and asking me questions. He normally works night shift and doesn't have much luck with being social. However, I am doing group hangouts only for safety reasons so got to get some other people on board.
