Dear user11760:

How about if you and I pretend we are peers (I am your age, then) and we met at the University Cafeteria. I am sitting alone at a table eating whatever they serve there and you approach the table I am at, with your tray of food. Following in this post to you I will say something to you. In the next post to me, you say something, then in my post to you I say something to you and so on. If you are willing, that is.

So I am sitting eating and see you approaching. You have your tray and you stand there looking at me.

I say to you: “Hi”

And you say….
