What would you even do? Read a book, ...? What’s the difference between at home and in a public space with people?

I went on a few dates with a woman who saw me reading a book in public and started a conversation. I'm not a social person, but talking to strangers is nice, from time to time.

We're social animals. Most of us benefit from interaction. Society is better when we interact with people outside our normal bubbles.
