"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Its a site that has different groups that people create and join. Then you meet and do whatever your group is into. It can be about anything, reading books, motorcycle riding, happy hours, alien searching, whatever.

my coworker recommended it to me. do they like people who are not social at all and just want to listen to the company without taking part in the conversation?

Well, I think you're over thinking this. Just go for it, if you want to talk, talk. If not, then don't. Just get out there and don't worry about it. :up:
