Making new friends
Excuse me, do you speak the language of butterflies?
From the shape and color of your hat I conclude that you do.
Is it your native tongue or did you learn it through Duolingo?
I hired a friendship coach to help me make friends.
So, I am now practicing making yourself available.
I mean I am looking for opportunities to talk.
He advised me to talk to anybody:
the supermarket cashier, the person sitting next to me on the tram,
the security officer who guards the institution where I work.
However, I approached you because you seem to be
a person who also needs friends.
Let's have a coffee and act like we haven't been
married for twenty years. Let’s say something friendly,
like Isn’t it a gorgeous day? or That is an outstanding hat!
and see where it takes us.
