I don't know if I am posing this question the right way. Is it okay for someone to refuse to meet someone, refuse to greet them or chat with them or is this generally considered "rude" and bad behavior?

Anyone can be how they want and if they do not want to be friendly why would you want to force it?

PS ~~ No one is required to live up to the expectations of others.

I never said I would force it. Sure, anyone can do anything but re-read the question in my post. You are answering something else, you are not answering the question that was asked.

It depends on the situation. Not enough info, OP. If two people are introduced to each other by a mutual friend/acquaintance, and one of them refuses to greet them, and turns away and walks away, yes, that's very rude. If you're talking about OLD, though, and someone you've exchanged with online doesn't want to meet you, no, that's not rude.

I did answer the question so no need to read the post again.
Perhaps my answer is not what you want to read.

No, you did not answer the question. You also made the bizarre accusation that I try to force people to be friendly, which you simply made up.


And to answer your own question, "is there a limit for the ignore list"? Nope. That's where you are going.

I wasn't really thinking of dating. Just other types of social situations. Dating is different.

OK, well, I don't know what you mean by "doesn't want to meet you". Do you mean, if someone's trying to introduce two people, but one of them doesn't want to be introduced?

Yes, that would be one of the situations I am talking about.
