On Dating
My test scenario:
I would picture myself sitting across from her at the breakfast table, in the morning, on a weekend – 30 years from then. Not at our best grooming-wise, getting older and with no particular plans for the day. Do we still enjoy each other’s company, each other’s conversation? Do we still make the other one laugh? Probably too much strategic/long term thinking for most people, but it worked for me – the girl I married has grown into a wonderful woman and my best friend. Mentally, I had put the relationship into a healthy context from day one.

On Friendship
Get involved in activities you are truly interested in. Other people will respond positively to you socially when you are visibly engaged and enthusiastic.
