Morning Mary. Dennis from Bamburi. Two weeks is not long enough to write a book about, but you asked me to say how it went with Janet, so here it is.
I will be honest, I expected the first conversation to feel like a transaction. That is what kept me from trying this for so long. It did not go that way. Janet asked me what I actually do with my time before she asked me anything else, and that told me more than any profile could have.
We met at a place off Links Road. She is easy company, laughs at her own jokes, and did not spend the afternoon looking at her phone. We got the awkward part out of the way early, what each of us wanted and what neither of us wanted, and after that it was just a good afternoon.
Two weeks in, nothing dramatic has happened, which is exactly what I was hoping for. If you are thinking about it, meet in person sooner rather than later. You learn more in an hour across a table than in a month of typing.
