acquaintances has to be the weirdest state of a relationship.
meetings are never planned and everytime they take place, you have to start completely over getting to know each other. the last chance encounter is too far removed to remember what the other person said they were doing with their life, and in all honesty neither person cares all that much -- otherwise you wouldn't be acquaintances to start with.
yet no matter how the conversation goes, it inevitably involves the exchange of phone numbers. one person asks, probably because there was a lull in the conversation after each of you reminds the other of what they do for a living, and it would be rude to say no, so it happens.
really, why's it so hard to admit there's no connection between the two of you? well at least it's an easy way to end the conversation. after all, now that you know how to get in touch, the two of you will just pick it up next time.
