55 M4F/FM #OHare - Save me?

​

Work trip. Hotel room. Staying in an OHare area hotel Thursday night. Dinner downtown then back to the room. Working through email and trying to distract myself with whatever is on TV. I don't really know anyone here and frankly tired of long evenings alone reading emails.

Mid 50s, not looking to torch anything. Something about getting to my 50s means I don't really do small talk anymore. I just skip straight to the actual fun, deeper conversation, which either works for people or it really doesn't.

What I'm actually decent at: noticing things and listening. Really listening. Like if you say something and then immediately downplay it I'll probably call that out, not in a mean way, just because it's more interesting than letting it slide.

If you're also married, I don't care. You do you. you already get the way this works. Nobody's leaving anybody. Just two people who'd rather have a real conversation than another boring Thursday.

I work out a few times a week, I'll just say that and let you picture it how you want. But I'm fit; not sculpted. But age adjusted, I'm doing fine.

One night in town. If you're free for a drink in the evening or coffee in the morning, say so.
