I spent much of this article going yup, yup, yeah that too.
I also believe in honesty and being upfront. I don't do subtle. I am also amused at your comments about people assuming you already have a full dance card, because I do exactly that!
General question: you've met someone, either in person or by reputation, who you find intriguing. You suggest skipping the small talk, but how does such a dialog get opened? Somehow "Hi, you don't know me but I find you fascinating and would love to spend an hour or two picking your brain" doesn't seem like a good approach... [wry grin]
To put it in really broad terms, where is the line between smalltalk and stalker?
