A good hang sesh is an art form, but crafting the perfect hang is like a dance. You can plan all the intricate choreography you want and have all the intention in the world for a good time, but if the feeling isn't there, it's nothing. You can't force a vibe sesh. It must come to you. But there are certain things you can put in place to ensure success: comfortable seating, flattering lighting, and good but low-key music. Then the conversation can flow and the vibes will vibe.
I'm all for rituals. I think it's important to develop little routines and special traditions with your loved ones. It helps give you a sense of meaning in this messy, crazy world.
