They Love Themselves

Professional Couples

'Have you noticed it, too?'

'There's someone here I'd like you to meet. He's very well-connected.'

Rugby...simply a great way to meet people.

Dialogue

The elephant in the room.

'We value emotional intelligence over regular old intelligence, so there's still some hope for you.'

"I had hoped the extroverts would talk to the introverts, but they're just talking to each other."

'I love our nights in together, just you, me and our 756 friends.'

"I miss the old days."

"Just don't be yourself."

"I don't think the guy with the business-card cannon has ever been to an actual networking event,"

"Nowadays, it's all about who you know, not what you know."

'I like you, you remind me of someone.'

Me/Mine/I-me/I/Myself...

'Sorry - I'd love to come out, but I'm busy updating my Facebook status.'

"Apart from helping the community, making new friends, enjoying your experiences, supporting people in need, developing new skills, building a better community and having fun I can't see the point in volunteering!"

'Excuse me, could everyone be quiet, I'm trying to talk on my cellphone.'

"Honestly, Paula, I don't know what I'd do without our daily keggers."

'Just here to chat' lane in a swimming pool.

'I've heard so much about you.' 'All bad I hope?'

'As a teleworker Colin sometimes struggled against feelings of isolation.'

Facebook Friends

'I used to text, but now there's a patch that allows me to communicate face to face.'

"I get the feeling you haven't heard a word I've said"

"I practiced my networking elevator speech on an escalator, which messed with my timing."
