A couple of weeks ago I exited my local gas station and had just shut the door to my pickup when I realized a man had followed me out the door. He was pulling a business card out of his wallet and indicated he wanted to talk, would I roll down the window? Given a couple of inches of clear window opening, asked if I wanted company that evening. I was quite startled (and wasn't dressed to attract--I'd been mowing the lawn and cleaning the garage). Back up went the window (I'd only lowered it a couple of inches) as I declined his offer. He was a very handsome fellow, certainly not in need of soliciting strangers. It really was quite odd.

Now if I were at a museum or concert and really hit it off with someone and the same question was asked, I'd at least give it some thought. Where there was some social context and filtering going on there might be more information for making a safe decision, though I think the answer regarding intimacy that soon would still be the same. Give it a little time.
