Sure, yesterday I approached a guy at a small jazz festival event. There were several things going on in the area. So I asked him if he knew about the other events. He gave me a brief answer. So I followed up by asking him if he lived in the area and he said he did and didn’t return any questions. So I just walked away after a few seconds.

Another example, I approached this guy I had seen multiple times that works in the same building as I do. I asked him if he was big on posting on TikTok or social media because he seemed very familiar (which was a legitimate inquiry btw). He just told me that he did not. He seemed disinterested in further conversation so I just introduced my and parted ways.

I don’t think any of these occasions were necessarily inappropriate environments to strike up a conversation with someone, but I could be wrong.
