I think he's a good man, but he is a bit love him or loathe him and I understand why people might find him annoying. He lacks social skills and talks too much, especially about his main interest, but I find him honest and open, in a way lots of people aren't and I can say oh do shut up, when necessary and conversation is never a struggle 🤣
We were in a restaurant with a few other friends. There were a group of people at the next table, who from their dress, share our main interest. He went to talk to them, a lot.
They seemed to be enjoying the interaction, but all of us on our table were aware we shouldn't take advantage for too long. Like when strangers are seemingly enjoying an interaction with your young children, but you know you mustn't let it go on too long.
Do you have childlike friends?
