This is a little too “just give him a chance” to take this post seriously.

Nah idk. The more interesting people tend to have layers. And patience is a valiantly earned virtue along with practical reasoning which any worthwhile friendship is worth. Noteworthy i read friendship not relationship. But yeah anyway. Red flags are still real too

Nobody has time to hang around with boring people just incase they magically grow a personality.

As someone who takes a while to warm up to new people, yes to this. I may seem standoffish at first, but I’m much more outgoing once I’m comfortable with a person. I wouldn’t say I’m “boring” at first, but it definitely takes me a bit to joke and talk more.

I can only maintain so many friendships. I can’t feasibly be friends with everybody I come across, I’m gonna have to filter them somehow. The first layer of defense is gonna be how easily a conversation flows - there are too many interesting people in the world that I’d otherwise be missing out on for me to spend months and years vetting every boring person who wants my time.

A couple of “FRIENDSHIPS”?

“Blissful Events”?

Are you sure you aren’t talking about dating?

That’s what I said. No one has unlimited time too spend with a ton of boring people on the off chance that they may have a personality.

Shy people aren’t boring and even when shy can contribute to a conversation.

Boring people can’t do that.

Alternatively, don’t badger people who have made it clear that they aren’t interested in a friendship.

I’m not contradicting my self and “wait for them to have a personality” is the same as “wait for them to open up” they just have different connotations.

Let me know if you need me define any of the long words.
