Strangers at a bar
You meet as two people who do not know each other, and you keep it up all the way home.
Why it works
The role removes the history. You have no old answers to fall back on, so the conversation gets curious in a way it has not been for years. Arriving separately is not a detail. It is what makes the meeting a meeting.
How to do it
- 01
Travel separately and meet somewhere nobody knows you. One of you is already sitting there.
- 02
Invent a name and a job each, and hold on to them. Ask about things you already know and take the answer as new.
- 03
Go home together and stay in it until the door is shut. Only there are you yourselves again.
What usually goes wrong
Somebody breaks the role on the way home, usually with a laugh in the car. Agree that it holds until the front door is shut. If a third person joins the conversation, change places. The role holds between the two of you, not in front of strangers.
Agree beforehand what happens if a third person joins the conversation: you move somewhere else. The act holds up between the two of you, not in front of strangers.
