"Such weather we're having huh?"

Truly peak romance

But at least it’s a conversation you can work with “oh yeah it’s so nice we should go do X” or “yeah it’s crazy out there, we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle” the point of small talk is to open avenues of conversation… I think people just don’t know how to have conversations anymore and chalk it up to “not liking small talk”. Observation and response is a perfectly normal way to start a conversation

I think it's more about your expectation from interactions with strangers. I will tolerate a ton of weather talk from my wife but if the guy taking my order at 5 Guys tries the same thing it's not going to be as well received.

Why? I like when strangers try to talk to me honestly

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I think I like it more than most but not just to hear words out loud. If you have a story about the weather impacting your day that's much more interesting than just commenting on it in general.

It was sunny but chilly today in Ontario

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Oh interesting. How was the cloud cover?

[-] iii@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

None what so ever! Really sunny. Unlike Kuala Lumpur, with it's 60% humidity and heavy cloud cover! Imagine that!

[-] iii@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Fing raining today in Ankeny Iowa.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Aw man, I hope you packed your umbrella

[-] lunarul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

we should go do X

we should stay in and watch a movie and snuggle

That's not small talk, that's planning what to do today. You can open the same conversation with "hey, what do you want to do today?"

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Lotta folks on both sides of this conversation who have never been in a long-term relationship.
