Before you go
- Pick a public, familiar place for the first meet.
- Tell one friend where you are going and when you will check in.
- Prepare two conversation topics you genuinely care about.
- Set a soft time boundary so you can leave without drama.
During & after
- Notice how you feel in their presence, not just what they say.
- Follow up once if you want a second meet — then pause if energy is uneven.
