Hi Ashley,
I did that yesterday. But there's a progression I noticed, since he introduced himself with clear intentions.
He'll try a different approach. For example, after we were walking out, he offered me a ride, and I declined for some exercise walking to public transit.
Networking is advertised widely, so this is accepted, and my behaviour is not the norm.
I'll try to sit on the opposite part of the room and leave a different time. I need to get more rest, since I can't sleep lately, since the night classes are triggering so much. With time, I should become acclimated too.
The facilitator asked me about an event after class, and that part of me that wants to be in a relationship felt awkward, but I think she was trying to determine if I was a professional in the field, since the trades people usually go to the event launch.
I'm carrying my thought records again, but couldn't take them out at the time
since she might recognize them...she's a credentialized therapist too
