I did two approaches today, since I didn't go run.
On the way home, I stopped off at Metcalfes @ West Towne and I kept seeing this woman every where I went, so I figured that meant I should talk to her. I jokingly asked her if she was following me around, because I kept seeing her wherever I went. Then I introduced myself and asked her what she did. We talked for a little bit and I found out she had a kid, because most of the things she does in her spare time involves the kid.
Also on the way home, I stopped at HyVee. Yes, I went to two grocery stores on the way home. There's things I like at both. And it wasn't just to meet people at both stores- that was just a bonus! Anyway, there weren't a whole lot of people to approach, but I saw this one woman, so I went up to her and said she looked like a nice person and introduced myself. I could see that she looked a little taken aback, so I asked her about it. She said that it seemed a little weird, and I explained that it is weird for a stranger to just start talking to another stranger, but it shouldn't be weird. Then she was like "well, I just wonder if there's some ulterior motive." So I asked her why she would just assume the worst, why I had to have some ulterior motive. She said she was just used to that. Which, is sad, if you think about it. Anyway, I talked to her for a bit, but I could tell she was taken aback by the conversation, so it didn't really go anywhere. Still, it was interesting.
