What makes a person fun?

I met Sven at a bar in Denmark. Sven was a nice guy, a bit shy, but nice.

We had a couple of drinks, talked about our interests and cracked jokes about the bartender (not proud).

Three drinks later, Sven wanted to dance. Five drinks later, Sven performed a somersault. Seven drinks later, Sven was ready to cross the Atlantic.

Next morning, I met Sven. He was still talking about trying new things. He was still in the ‘mode’.

So, what makes a person fun? Alcohol?

Actually, no.

Familiarity with someone makes a person ‘fun’. The more time you spend with someone, the more you open up with them.

People are shy at first but once they know you, they are ready to do crazy things.

Thanks Sven.
