You know that magical spark? You're chatting to a stranger and you see the other person's eyes light up when you make an obscure reference to something that turns out to be a shared passion. It might be a brand of comedy, an arcane branch of knowledge, an album track that's the best thing ever — it doesn't matter what it is. You've made a connection that's rare and special. Hours go by like minutes as you chat. The rest of the world can wait with the revelation that someone else sees things your way. You share an seemingly telepathic understanding that allows you both to dive quickly and easily into intimate conversation.
It doesn't happen very often. I spend most of my time in conversation that's mundane or superficial. As an introvert, that's a massive drain on my resources. I'd prefer to focus my limited energy on the deeper encounters that I love — the ones that can change the worlds inside both your heads in a beautiful way, even if the one around you remains stubbornly unchanged.
I have little idea how to find people who fit the bill — that's the problem with "magical" things. I'm trying the Lit Personals section more in hope than expectation. I've made quite a few friends on the forums over the years, but with little in common outside Lit. On the forums, I find that my postings that most reflect my personality usually fall completely flat. Maybe my British sense of humour doesn't travel very well, or perhaps the concept of a married guy not seeking to cheat just doesn't compute.
There's probably no short cut. I'm not necessarily seeking immediate replies to this advert, as I haven't provided enough information for anyone to judge whether that spark might exist between us. I'm hoping, though, that this advert might make me stand out more as worthy of contact to anyone who reads my forum postings and finds that my words resonate with them. Perhaps it might also catch the eye of those who have already interacted with me.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

P.S. If the following joke makes you laugh, then you should definitely consider getting in touch:

Heisenberg and Schrödinger get pulled over for speeding.
The cop asks Heisenberg "Do you know how fast you were going?"
Heisenberg replies, "No, but we know exactly where we are!"
The officer looks at him confused and says "you were going 108 miles per hour!"
Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries "Great! Now we're lost!"
The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if the two men have anything in the trunk.
"A cat," Schrödinger replies.
The cop opens the trunk and yells "Hey! This cat is dead."
Schrödinger angrily replies, "Well he is now."
