Chat is everything to me. I speak to the entire planet.
I will speak to anyone as long as they are polite.
You truly never know who you may encounter :)
Recently, I have had only two people decline a friendly chat.
These are definitely the outliers, not the norm :)
For those of you who want to be successful, I have a suggestion:
If a gentleman offers to slice part of his day away to be with you, take it, and say thank you.
You never know how well it may turn out for you!
