I'd like to meet:

1) Someone who will take me out for coffee.

2) girls who find comfort in silence.

"She looked over at me when the children in the picture brought in a kitten to show their mother. M loved the kitten and wanted me to love it. Even in the dark, I could sense that she felt the usual estrangement from me when I don’t automatically love what she loves. Later, when we were having a drink at the station, she asked me if I didn’t think that kitten was ‘rather nice’. She didn’t use the word ‘cute’ anymore. When did I ever frighten her out of her normal vocabulary? Bore that I am, I mentioned R.H. Blyth’s definition of sentimentality: That we are being sentimental when we give to a thing more tenderness than God gives to it. I said that God undoubtedly loves kittens, but not, in all probability with Technicolor booties on their paws. He leaves that creative touch to script writers. M thought this over, seemed to agree with me, but the ‘knowledge’ wasn’t too very welcome. She sat stirring her drink and feeling very unclose to me. She worries over the way her love for me comes and goes, appears and disappears. She doubts its reality simply because it isn’t as steadily pleasurable as it is a kitten."
