What qualities do you find attractive in another person? Romantically or otherwise.

Yeah, it takes some time but that's half the fun.

Ah, no I understand what you mean now.

Sure! I wouldn't mind introducing you to my friends.

It must take a long time to build up attraction, then. Most people seem more easily smitten. Of course, we are teenagers.

[There's a long pause before Lyrl remembers to come back and add] Thank you, I would appreciate that. [He's not going to come out and say he doesn't know how to start conversations with people, but he doesn't have to say that, does he?]

[And now Marshall is thinking about how some of us have been teenagers for a long time.]

True. I mean, physical attraction does tend to come first a lot of the time but sometimes you can come to like someone you originally didn't set out to like.

[Not a problem Lyrl...Marshall will even do most of the talking to get you started.]

People seem to put a lot of effort into searching for mates. But in this sort of environment it is easier to get to know people without the intention of courtship. I suppose it's more difficult for adults.

Yeah,I suppose so. I guess people don't want to be lonely.
That's very true. I guess that's why there are so many dating websites or personal ads in newspapers for them in the Muggle world.

Do Wizards have something similar?

I'm not sure. My father only seems to interact with people through his business.

Hmm..and looking for something like a relationship while at work could be problematic. I know some work places have rules against dating co-workers.

Do they? My father dates employees and clients, but I suppose that isn't the same as co-workers.

Yeah, I know some companies frown on people dating people below them on the corporate ladder. I think they're allowed to date people of equal work status?
It depends on the company though I think.

I suppose that makes sense from an ethical standpoint. But when you own your own business, ethics are optional.

I suppose you can look at it that way too.

I would imagine most people use less questionable methods, however ... nothing my father does should be imitated.

Oh, he's one of those business types huh?

Something like that. I cannot understand how someone can be so obsessed with money.

Me neither. I don't think about it much at all. As long as I have a roof over my head and my guitars I'm okay.

I find the roof unnecessary. Guitars I haven't tried.
