So as far as conversations go I just had one, flicked me in the brain with its tiny little rubber band.
After knowing someone for a while, how do you know you have got past that point of casual acquaintance, to the point where you now understand that I'm not insulting you, I' just showering you with the gift of my verbal awkwardness. Really though, you don't just walk up to people after a certain amount of time and go.
"Hey man, you are my friend." do you? How weird would that be if it happened to you..
Anyway it just made me realise how much we rely on assumptions in our fringe relationships. I mean your mates are your mates, and that's awesome cause you hang out all the time, drink together, etc etc. But these fringe people, the ones you see a lot, at work, or in a sports team, or at the RSL or where ever, how do you know what they reckon. Personally I think if they are polite, aren't obviously hoping you will leave them alone soon, and answer any question with more than two word answers, this means that they don't think I'm a giant c0ck head. I might be wrong, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
