r/Glasgow Tools

Dear Glasgow,
I have limited time.
In just a year, ı'll have to pack my bags with memories and buy a ticket to a third world country.
My home, I must return to.
And although I'm enjoying walking the streets like a kid in constant wonder, trying to read stories in each passing face,  I haven't had the opportunity to meet the people that make Glasgow.
Meetups, hangouts, and "just grab a pint and start a conversation at your local pub you twat" all seem well and nice for advice.
But as I try to scratch the surfaces of small talks in big crowds, what if my time runs out? ,
What if in my desperation the friends I finally find really suck?
Or if I come off as a creep trying to start conversations, sit on the corner all night and all out of luck?
What if I end up home, with only "what if"'s and "if only"'s?
I'd rather go back with memories of your memories, whether shared as an excuse for a pint, or to have a leisurely stroll at a park.
So here's the plan I devised on that regard:
I call it Speed.. Well its not dating, I already have a wife. And no emphasis on speed either, we can certainly take our time.
So this thing I don't know what to call works like this: You and I meet, we share stories and memories trying all the while to not point out the weather.
Once we break the crust of small talk, I wonder what's inside you folks.
And if to our dismay we discover we dislike eachother's company, we simply part ways and walk.
My name is Atilla. Send me a pm and tell me what's yours.
When and where?
Lets decide together.
I've just enjoyed the "the belle" and kelvingrove park as I roamed the streets of West end.
This is my 16th day here so far.
And so far so good.

(P.s. I like stories in all forms)
