*wide wide smile*
For a start, i define 'befriending you' as a stranger starting talking to me.
I get pleasantly surprised for such 'out of the blue' encounters. I would probably looked bewildered for a while and maybe smile (appear friendly unless of course u r in such a lousy mood that u r ready to 'bite' the next person that irriates u).
I personally do have some interesting encounters with people in lifts, mrt stations, while walking on the road, in taxi rides, shopping malls, in buses, in bus queues, in mrt, at east coast, at book-stands .... etc.
There is nothing to love or hate the person who do that to you, appreciate the effort made by that person. (i beg to differ in situations where this person totally irks you off .... ).
Enjoy the experience, it can put a smile on your face for the rest of the day.
