omg people! Is this for real? At times it is socially unacceptable to be approaching people. It is up to you to decide when that is. Think if you are sick and feeling like shit, you are waiting for the doctor. Do you really think you are gonna be worried about some random guy talking to you and give out your number. I think in that situation the girl has other things on her mind and is not looking to meet someone.
Bullrun, can you define "interaction"?
haha, I'm j/k.

Call me incompetent, but I am just trying to figure out where he is coming from without having to guess as to the context in which words were used.
If I am wrong then tell me, but I am under the assumption that the perception of the word force would be a factor here.
Particularly in this instance in which the amount of "force" is under question. Is it truly being forced upon her?
If she is/was attracted to him and he would have simply said "Hi" would that interaction be forced?
Again, when I hear "force" I perceive that as being something that is undesirable or unwanted. After all if it is forced, then there has to be resistance.
True, I believe there are certain situations in which it would not be wise to "force" and interaction. And by "force" i literally mean "plow" through her perception of your value based on looks alone, without talking to you first, after you have said hi.
If she would have wanted him to approach her because she found him desirable also, would that be forced if he did approach? guy likes girl, girl likes guy. In my mind, the only way to find out if she liked him for certain is to say "hi" to the mom, and read their body language and other signals they put out. If it's a no go, then bail, no harm no foul, but if he's in, then he just got some new tail, and if they get married a crazy story to tell the kids.
So let me reiterate my previously stated question.
Bull Run, Am I correct in assuming that by "would not force an interaction" that you feel conversing with people in a waiting room is just a no go in any form and that we should stick to just talking about our sickness to the nurses and staff?
