How many of you randomly walk up to strangers and start talking to them as if you had known them for years?

Question

I do this alot and was quite amazed recently at how many good friends have resulted from this habit than from the ones I meet in college or on an everyday basis.I also had some very unexpected experiences with them.Like once I started speaking with a homeless guy and he spoke to me in the best of English and told me that he CHOSE his life style after examining the world and seeing nothing good with materialistic stuff.I was amazed by his comment.

So what about you?Any such experiences?

Have a great day everyone.

Answer 1

i find this a great way not only to meet a new friend but to gain
insight like you have. i always think of me being the only
person to experience something and then i find it's
common. i can't tell you how much that helps!!! i find it's
almost easier to talk to strangers as they don't have a
preconceived ideas on who i am or who i am not. they
are more open to listening and offering advice. i can
expand my own horizon and go to places through them
that i could never get to otherwise. people are fascinating
if i allow them to be. i try to listen without prejudice and
by doing so my spirit soars. then i can see them as
YESHUA does!

Answer 2

I have done alot of street ministry, it is a great way to meet new people.

Acts 2:21
Romans (10)

Answer 3

all the time, i get a kick out of the reactions, but, then again, i once spent 2 1/2 hours on a wrong phone number!
