> If you do shallow smalltalk (as it is very common in the USA), you signal that you only want a shallow relationship. That sounds like an extremely obnoxious judgement. > If you want a deep friendship, better bring something deep to the table. At some point sure. Are you suggesting launching into deep conversation when you meet someone? | |||||||||||||||||

> Are you suggesting launching into deep conversation when you meet someone? I am strongly suggesting not to start with shallow smalltalk, as it is common in the USA. I would start with serious conversations when I meet someone to get a feeling. But if the "vibe" is right, you can indeed get deep rather soon. | |||||||||||||||||
