Some advice on the difference between tenacious and stalker

It appears that there is a fine line between being tenacious and being a stalker when it comes to meeting people.

The key is charm as stalkers are rarely charming.

Here's the best way to be tenacious:

1. Introduce yourself, perhaps with a witty opening. Maybe give them a card with a link to your blog.

2. Run into the person again the next day - remind them how hilarious your first encounter was and how this second encounter will be just as hilarious.

3. See this person at a party. Decide it is necessary to have another 'random' encounter. Wait until they are alone, then reminder them again how hilarious you are.

4. See this person again at breakfast the day after the party. This time they will remember you are hilarious and might inquire if this hilarity is present even in the morning. Say NO. No one likes people who are hilarious in the morning as hilarity before 10 am can often be seen as being obnoxious. (Just check out morning radio personalities)

5. Have one final random encounter. Cement the hilarity of previous convos with some more jokes as it's now afternoon and you won't be confused for obnoxious. Say bye...at this point another random encounter could border on stalker and you want to be remembered as hilarious and tenacious - not creepy and crazy.

PS. This strategy works best if a) you are not a stalker b) you are charming and c) you are hilarious.

If you are not hilarious, I do not recommend employing these tactics to make yourself a memorable person.
