How do you get a grumpy person to make friends? I'd like to meet more people, so should he right?

And I didn't sign him up for that friend thing because I like not being punted, I bet he would totally punt me.

An older gentleman than, isn't it?

Yes, they can be. But everyone has their price as they say.

[ringsthatbind]

There is nothing gentle about him!

And man, I don't even know if he has a price. He only spends money on stuff he needs, and that isn't a lot.

[mushroomaficionado]

If I may be honest, your friend sounds a bit, well, dull.

[ringsthatbind]

Oh yeah, considering all he does is work and train. He barely sleeps or eats, just works and trains.

[mushroomaficionado]

He might need to work on expanding his horizons a bit then.

[ringsthatbind]

Now that seems like more work than I'm willing to do, I just want him to meet new people is all.

[mushroomaficionado]

I would have to agree since it sounds like he's being very stubborn. Ultimately, he has to want it on his own, on some level. Regardless of what he says.

[ringsthatbind]

[An unheard weh from the chao at that.]

So it's just a waiting game then?

[mushroomaficionado]

Unless you are willing to take a risk.

[ringsthatbind]

Buddy, making this post is a risk in itself.

[mushroomaficionado]

Then you shouldn't hold back. The consequences are just the price one pays.

[ringsthatbind]

The price I pay is possible punting!

[mushroomaficionado]

Exactly! But if it gets you what you want, what's a little pain?

[ringsthatbind]

Yeah except, pain hurts. I like not getting hurt.

[mushroomaficionado]

Don't we all?

But personally, I think boredom and predictability is even more painful.

[ringsthatbind]

I dunno, there are some weirdos out there.

And I'd take that if it meant meeting more people!

[mushroomaficionado]

This is a weird place.

So you want to drag him to a coffee shop. Somehow.

[ringsthatbind]

See that could work, if he drank coffee.

He eats it instead.

[mushroomaficionado]

Eats it?

Sorry, I don't follow. Unless you mean espresso beans.

[ringsthatbind]

Got it in one.

He eats the beans, it's weird.

[mushroomaficionado]

Chocolate covered ones?

Or just plain? I personally do not see the appeal, but I know it is trendy.

[ringsthatbind]

Plain, and I doubt he does it to be trendy.

[mushroomaficionado]

How odd.

I mean he could still go and eat the beans I guess. It would be a conversation starter.

[ringsthatbind]

Would you go and talk to someone who always frowns and eats coffee beans?

[mushroomaficionado]

Depends on my schedule honestly.
