Have you ever got a compete stranger’s phone number?

As in they weren’t a co-worker, mutual friend, or someone you met online or anything… but just someone you randomly encountered somewhere for the first time, got into a conversation, and just hit it off so naturally that an exchanging of the 10 digits was not only proper, but imperative

Just make sure you don't get "a friend that keeps on giving"!if you know what I mean. A short period of bliss can lead to a lifetime of regret. The situation seems exciting until you REALLY think about it.

@Milkmaid47 The hard part is that we do not usually know what a pain someone is until after it is too late. They seem cool at first until the real version of them comes out. Kind of like buying a car or house and THEN the well-hidden problems surface.

So people are cautious and tend to see everything as a "red flag" but in doing so, we miss a lot of opportunities for what could have been good friendships. Sometimes people are cautious to the point of isolation.

It's like what do you do? Risk solitude or risk someone screwing up our lives?
