Now, there seems to be some lack in logical thinking in this blogtext...

Here´s my argument:

1) When deciding to approach a stranger (man or woman) with the intention of getting to kow them, the person approaching has (most often) made a choice WHAT person to approach. (Of course, if you actually approach someone randomly, like say the third person entering, or the first person sitting on a certain park bench, then this argument does not apply. But that is hardly ever the case, right?)

2) This decision/choice has been made based on certain criteria. One of them is almost certainly the way this person looks.

3) It is only fair to allow the one you approach to make the same choice, based on whatever criteria THEY prefer.

4) The result can then be that the person you approach choose NOT to get to know you. But that is their right, just as it is your right to approach the person you wish, rather than any random individual.

So, you will most certainly encounter people who will ignore you or tell you they are not interested, even before you get a chance to introduce who you are, but if we return to the example, it would be as if you went up to every person you have decided NOT to approach, just to say: "Hi, I´ve seen you, but have decided I do not want to get to know you." You have already had the thought, just not verbalized it. That is all the person you approach is doing to, only by coming up to them you force them to verbalize it.

But keep trying, sometimes I am sure it will result in a great new friend!
