    Well you won’t negatively affect them by not interacting with them. They are still free to talk to you, after all. The implication is a good one because they don’t know what sort of creep or angry person you might be and how you would react to rejection. You’re almost insisting on talking to the people on a situation you know might negatively affect them and where they are stuck in the situation and that just seems odd.

      I feel like you’re just reiterating your last comment as though you didn’t read mine.

          Would you care to address any of the articles with research and numbers that I claim back me up?

          I see you don’t understand the mindset. I don’t believe you are trying to.

            I don’t get how the articles “back you up” in this point

            You’re almost insisting on talking to the people on a situation you know might negatively affect them and where they are stuck in the situation and that just seems odd.

            What do the articles have to do with that?

              That’s because you haven’t read them.

              They have to do with the positive outcomes, which you continue to ignore, or treat as inconsequential.

              A small chance of a negative outcome does not generally outweigh a good chance of a positive outcome.

              youre almost insisting on talking

              You insist on mischaracterizing my position. Asking somebody a question ir two is hardly as insisant as you keep making it out to be.

              and that just seems odd

              To you

                  I suppose so.

                  And you have no notion about gambling theory or risk reward whatsoever? Am I inferring that correctly?

                    I don’t want to make anyone’s day worse. Gambling on someone else’s feelings just seems icky to me.
