Moved From Houston
I went out with a friend that recently moved from Houston to San Francisco. We ate a Chow's restaurant. He thought the restaurant was too noisy. But, most san francisco restaurants are pretty boisterious. Anyway, E is a very nice guy. I would describle him as affable and amiable. However, he reminded myself that I first got here.
After dinner, we went to Gold's gym. He was interested in becoming a member. But, I fell the sales agent, that he talked to, was totally tried to scam him. Agent was asking $115 application and $55 monthly membership fees. I know it doesn't cost that much. Usually, gold's has free app. fees and pormotion rates. But, E was chatty and even told that guy he recently moved here. Of course the sales agent tried to further his marketing tactics and convince him to join the gym.
When the sale person asked if I was interested, I just looked away. Then, E told me in cantonese, " Why you so Chuen?" which translate, " Why are you so pompous or arrogant?" I told him, I wasn't interested and that agent wasn't very candor. Oh well, I didn't want to carry the conversation. It's really none of my business. I'll let him figure it out himself. If he wants to pay $55 per month for gym membership. I'll let him do it. That's how I had learned too.
My question is, here I am trying to meet some new friends. But, should I even try or stay in the circle of friends that i've already known...

Chow noisy? I actually like loud places - gives going out an adventure - if i wanted quiet i would go to a park, library, or stay home :-)
I agree thats way too much for a gym membership - normally you can get all those extra fees removed or at least negiotiated down to something near 0. Its money - yes you have to spend money but you need to get value for your money.
You know not everyone's personality is compatiable - you made an effort... but sometimes friendships are hard to click on the first meeting. Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be...
