If someone wants to be your friend and you're unsure of who they are, here are some steps you can take:
1. **Assess the Situation**: Consider the context in which they approached you. Have you met them before, or is this a completely new interaction?
2. **Ask Questions**: Don’t hesitate to ask how they know you or why they want to be friends. This can help you get a better understanding of their intentions.
3. **Get to Know Them**: If you feel comfortable, engage in a conversation to learn more about the person. Ask about their interests, hobbies, and what prompted them to reach out.
4. **Trust Your Instincts**: Pay attention to your feelings about the person and the interaction. If something feels off, it’s okay to be cautious.
5. **Take Your Time**: You don’t have to rush into a friendship. It’s perfectly acceptable to take your time to get to know someone before deciding to become friends.
6. **Set Boundaries**: If you're open to becoming friends but want to take it slow, communicate your boundaries to the person.
7. **Decide What You Want**: After gathering more information, decide if you want to pursue a friendship. It’s okay to decline if you don’t feel a connection.
8. **Be Polite**: If you don’t want to pursue a friendship, kindly express that you appreciate their interest but are not looking for new friends at the moment.
Remember, it’s important to prioritize your comfort and safety in any social situation.
