Dear Bjoosta, dear Zivon, thank you for your answers. Bjoosta, yes, you hit the nail on the head. But – okay, what is the problem if the person would be complete another person, as you expected? You will have a cup of coffee or something else – you will disband, nothing happens. I have to correct myself, I did not mean "invitation to home", to sleep there or something like that. I mean, somebody have a trip to your country/city and would like to have company by dinner etc. So Zivon – I see your opinion, this is an important reason to be careful. But I guess, sometimes we stand on our own feets. Why always thinking about what COULD be happen … Why to make it so difficult, to meet other people, to say Hello, share a short time, have a good talk and say Good bye. Maybe to say Good bye forever, maybe for the next time. Sometimes I see people around me I find interesting, I would like to go to them, say Hello and start to talk. But I know, for most people this seem to be a strange behaviour. In Germany. We also have problems to sit down on tables, where a person is sitting. You have to face the situation, that to get into contact with foreign people (our best friends were foreign people for us too!) gets more and more difficult, when you get older. First you get into contact at school, university, job. Then you are settled in your job, there are not so many changes as before. Sometimes I see old person, one person is sitting at the right table, one is sitting at the left table. Both are lonesome, they lost their partners, they have lived with for centuries. Why not start small talk … Have a nice day all over the world.
