I need to ask you a question and I don't want particularly want to do it on a public forum. <br /><br />Now to your comment - I was asked a lot on this cruise about my passions and interests. Unfortunately at the time I was mid Uni madness and I had not seen a proper movie in months and all the bands I had seen lately received blank looks. *sigh* But usually a very valid question to ask. Much better than the weather ;)Miss365https://www.blogger.com/profile/03873699006266991554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-15749179560151839532011-06-13T09:13:29.765+10:002011-06-13T09:13:29.765+10:00I went on a Christian Singles Cruise a few years b...I went on a Christian Singles Cruise a few years back. What I learnt was (drum roll please)<br /><br />* Check the average age of the expected attendees before going. It's not fun when they are at least 20 years older than you and mostly girls with a handful of OLD men 8-S lol<br /><br />As for small talk... my brother likes to ask people he's just met "What are you passionate about?" That makes for some more interesting conversation than work and weather.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-32875334257905584342011-04-14T15:43:44.296+10:002011-04-14T15:43:44.296+10:00Yeah, I think I'm horrible at small talk.

Why can't we all move past the "you like the weather today?" lines and go straight for, "so tell me exactly who you are."ShanimalsCrackers.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204883255991927195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8932234616188056916.post-35057135747755599412011-04-12T14:56:23.724+10:002011-04-12T14:56:23.724+10:00A positive way to see this is that you can cross t...A positive way to see this is that you can cross that off your list of things to do.

And, as Ms Blase said, you learned something about yourself. I'm not that great at small talk myself, so I guess I would be in the corner observing rather than trying to make small talk. But the better I feel about myself and the closer my relationship with Jesus, the easier I find it to talk to people.

I'm glad that you made the best of it and learned more about yourself in the process (isn't that what most of life is about anyway?). Kudos to you for expanding your horizons :0)<br /><br />You go, girl!Ms. Blaséhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605491023736134114noreply@blogger.com
