184 . the fine art of small talk<br />

to connect. We dismiss people because they are not our<br />

type or don’t participate in certain activities because<br />

there will not be a lot of members of the opposite sex in<br />

attendance. It was my wonderful friend Karen Thomas<br />

who announced at our book club meeting twelve years<br />

ago that she had someone in mind for me to meet. And<br />

thanks to her thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit, I<br />

was introduced to her periodontist, my husband, Steve.<br />

Ask to be fixed up. Don’t hesitate to ask friends to keep<br />

you in mind. And never dismiss someone because they<br />

are not your type. This person could become your friend<br />

and introduce you to your future partner.
