How do you handle this in a polite and upbeat
manner? I joined a book club, and on the first meeting, the person who organized it was asking so many questions about me.... my likes, my job, my life, etc. I found some of her questions to be of a personal nature. I don't want to reveal ALL of my self/life to someone I just met. I just believe that you get to know someone, over time. It felt like a job interview. Sure, she might be screening to see whom she wants to be with in her group, but i found those questions AND HER, to be too pushy and aggressive/forceful. She needs to chill and just see how it goes. About the book-- I'm happy to discuss and offer my feedback. But, about me, I'm not an open book. Not until I know that new person's personality and character. And, that is revealed through time. You know the saying, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care?" I live by that. I didn't feel her care for me....so why answer her 20 questions at the first meeting? So, what is a happy, upbeat way to handle someone like this? thanks.
