Generally people don't move to this stage until they feel comfortable with one another and believe they have found common ground when you disclosed facts in the second level. In this level you go beyond that to give your opinion of whatever it is you've been talking about.

Examples:

• Skiing is an expensive hobby
• Your dream is to ski in Jasper, Alberta
• You are counting the days to retirement
• You are hoping to move to another job soon

You may even venture into such quagmires as politics or religion if you are feeling comfortable enough to do that. The general rule is "low and slow," as in don't reveal too much too soon. You may want to commiserate about the high cost of sending a child to university today, but wait until you know the person better before you reveal that you took out a second mortgage to send your child to university.
