I was at a mixer,
talking with a buddy.
Another friend came up,
I introduced the two,
and we chatted.
I noticed that the first buddy
didn’t really join into the new conversation.
I later asked her why.
She said that the new person
really only wanted to talk with me.
Incorrect.
If she only wanted to talk with me,
she would have waited until I was alone
(or she would have pulled me aside).
She fully expected and actually wanted
to talk with both of us.
She knew me.
She wanted to meet my buddy.
People make contact with you
because they WANT to make contact with you.
There are plenty of ways to avoid you.
