I wouldn't think they would push anything on anyone, or try to change your beliefs.
But I'd think they would listen to any idea out of curiosity.

As long as they're gullible. That's all I ask. And new to R&S so they don't know about my history with the ladies.

Be careful with this. As an agnostic, I try to be open-minded, but keep in mind two things:
1.) I am still human, which means the package includes my hopes and fears and dreams and regrets and longings and so on,
and 2.) a logical contradiction cannot exist.
I am open-minded, but I do not allow for ideas like "red is blue" or "up is down" or "my God loves you but he's going to send you to eternal torment if you don't believe in him right now without convincing evidence."
I try to change beliefs by revealing to people where they are being hypocritical and illogical. These can only help, not hinder. If they do change, that merely means the beliefs could not hold up, and they are free to search for new paths.
What good is your path if you know of no others...?
By the way, I Am No One...'s answer (though he uses it a lot, *cough*) is pretty good, I dare say.

I have two agnostic friends and all I can tell you is they both ask a lot of questions on why I choose not to believe in a God and I have never heard any judging from them, unlike what I heard from some Christians.

Any open-minded, non-judgmental individual is usually easy to get along with...
..As an Agnostic, I see myself as someone who has come to a "Y" in the 'Road to Spiritual Perfection", with a really BIG sign that says:
---..."<--- Left Fork: Path to Atheism and all, if anything, that it has to offer.
---> Right Fork: Path to Theism - and all, if anything, that it has to offer."...---
... but, instead of stepping onto a path, - I prefer to sit at that crossroad, - with my back to the sign, - and listen to those passers-by who would tell me stories of their journeys,... and it never really occurs to me that I should judge them based on whether or not I liked the stories I hear;...... in that I am just happy that they were kind enough to stop and chat with me for a spell.
... just as it never occurs to them at all that, - in spite of all of their urgings to follow THEM, - on THEIR paths,
I really am quite content to sit there, comfortable in the shade provided by that ominous sign, --- and just listen to them.
...;-)

How easy someone is to get along with has more to do with personality than religious point of view.

I succeed in ticking off the atheists and fundies alike.
Neither knows the truth, but both will claim it as their personal stomping ground.

It depends on the agnostic.

Why thank you! :P
But it really depends on the *individual*,
