The idea of the topic question is to see what people want out of an interaction. It's interesting, to me, to read what others think or want from others.

When I interact with people, I want to make friends or lovers. I want to create a deep, meaningful relationship with someone. I don't really care for what objects they can give me, or help they can give me on homework (it's nice, but not the goal), or the sex they can offer me (would be nice). I just want to have a connection with someone and feel a sense of comfort and loyalty and trust. Of course, it starts with me and is mainly MY effort until I get them comfortable enough to warm up to me and trust me. So, it's usually 90% my job at first, but evens out eventually. So, yeah. That's about it. Nothing too special.

Yeah, pretty much the same for me.

Well, there are a lot of ways to have interactions.

Most of the time, if I just want to talk with someone, all I want is a deep response. Like, if I say, "Crazy weather, huh?", I'd be happy with a "Yeah, winter sucks!", or something like that.

If I'm chatting with a girl that I like and might want to get to know, I look for interest and connection. Am I boring her? Is she getting into the conversation? Whether or not I find it, that's what I'm looking for.

I believe that it is very important for one's own self interest to embrace relationships with others. But I believe that many too often don't think about what a relationship is in its broadest sense. It involves many things but at its core it is about assessing simiarites and differences between one's self and an other. Relationships when harmonically facilited can lead to communication and communication in some form seems essential to actual deep meaning. But to first communicate one and an other must first interact.

I live more or less (and with respect to primary modal mindset it is actually more) by the approach that Bruce Lee said, "I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you are not in this world to live up to mine". I therefore try not to seek the end result of communication beforehand. I feel that would be undue projection which is essentially forcing the magnitude and direction of a given relationship which can compromise resultant communciation and therefore lead to discouragement, disillusionment, or dissapointment.

I therefore look for natural interactions with others with less and less hope and less and less expectations. I attempt to recognize any benefit from an interaction but I may never realize that I have actually gained it.

I have found that interactions which involve musical movement with others during the nighttime tends to be the most enjoyable interactions that I have. I also largely enjoy engaging the minds of others regarding both reason and the imagination while my body is at ease or animated consistent with argumentation or mindstorming. In other words, I value most spiritually moving interactions.

To be interested.

Relationships, on whatever level.

Although sometimes I admit that I use interactions as practice for other interactions.
