Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
I walk a lot and meet a lot of people. many of them regularly.
I previously will have introduced myself, my dog and asked their name(s). We usually stop and have a wee chat.
I find fellow dog owners very ready to chat .
Asking questions interested but not intrusive is how you get to know people .
Not in an interrogatory way, just how are you, and then anything to show I am interested in what they are saying. Hate people making things sound like an interrogation really not necessary if you are in any way emotionally intelligent. .
Of course Julie you are referring to questions in dicussions .
It quite ok to ask questions in discussions such as on this forum. As long as they are civil , - what's not alright to attack people for asking them .
I went out this Sat Hashing ( this is social running for those who don't know) I had never been to this hash before .
It's was a mixture of nationalities I knew no one.
Everyone was so friendly they asked loads of questions and i in my turn asked questions of them .
They were such pleasant interesting and interested people it made me think .
