writes: Dear Cupid,This is a theoretical question but an important one all the same. I find often when I reach out to people to work with (business wise or even as friends) they are reluctant to work together, in fairness I'm pretty bold and don't see anyone beyond my reach, I don't know their reasons for this, maybe busy maybe they don't see us as compatible. Ironically, when I achieve success and they see it, they make friendly overtures and want to be my friend again. This happens quote often, I get quite bitter and dismiss them outright, under the notion if they weren't keen before why suddenly do they want to be affiliated with me? My question to you is the following, what is the clever way to deal with this people? In an age of facebook and mass communication, word spreads quickly and people will try and buddy up to you if they see it is beneficial to their own standing, and show no qualms with ignoring you/dropping you if they think your affiliation is damaging. Is it a good idea to be friendly but cautious to these types who you're not sure about, obviously unless they've done something grievously wrong or messed you about you have nothing to lose by responding. Also, what is the best way to deal with people who ignore your messages, friendly overtures then are really friendly to you in your face?
