[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here. Oh and I’m not even a huge hockey fan yet I was late taking my daughter to school because I was up celebrating the win. I was also exhausted the next day yet was totally up for happy hour by the evening. I ended up on FaceTime for hours with a friend overseas.

Wait.  I wrote that.  I  talk to friends for a long time.  I talk to my mom for hours.  I talk to people I randomly meet in line or the playground or in my work cafeteria for like ten minutes, then I either exchange information or I don’t, but I move on with my day.  If I am meeting someone for lunch or coffee, then of course I can talk for a long period of time.  But it has literally never happened that I have met someone in line to get food, then invited them to sit with me, then continued to talk for longer than it takes to eat my food/drink my coffee.  I am just surprised that other people do this all of the time, and I have never noticed.  [/quote]

Do you work?  Have you ever attended work-related conferences?  That sort of thing could easily happen when you meet someone in a similar profession. [/quote]

I do.  I am a psychiatrist, and I have lunch every day in a physicians lounge with people I know and don’t know.  I have made a lot of friends from around the hospital that way.  
 I attend APA and other conferences sometimes.  I typically hang out with my friends from residency or from my current hospital and their friends.  I do talk to other people, but it is usually small talk lasting a few minutes, or we discover we have a lot in common and exchange information with plans to get together later.  [/quote]

But in OP’s case, there was the general small talk, and more specific talk about his dd having an interest in the same college, major and profession. I can see how that might turn into a longer conversation.

And we all know damn well that if he’s getting this much grief for talking to a PYT over coffee, if he made plans to pick her brain more at a later date, even if it’s to help his dd, the wife and all her supporters here would bring out the torches and pitchforks for him exchanging numbers with the young professional who works in the same field.

Her friend sounds like a busybody and the wife and friend sound like they thrive on drama. [/quote]
