You cannot force a relationship to go to a deeper level on your own -- it must be a team effort. So if you're itching to move a conversation away from topics like the weather and on to topics like the future, you need to let the other person know. If you invite them to join you in examining things from a more profound perspective and they balk, then you know that their walls are too high to climb. Ask them some probing questions today -- they'll likely be ready to share.
