Woo sounds like this: 
Deborah C., publishing executive: "1 have made best friends out of people that I have met passing in the doorway. I mean it's awful, but wooing is part of who I am. All my taxi drivers propose to me." 
Marilyn K., college president: "I don't believe I'm looking for friends, but peo- ple call me a friend. 1 call people and say, '1 love you,' and I mean it because I love people easily. But friends? 1 don't have many friends. I don't think I am looking fot friends. I am looking for connections. And 1 am really good at that because I know 
how to achieve common ground with people." Anna G., nurse: "I think I am a little shy sometimes. Usually I won't make the first step out. But I do know how to put people at ease. A lot of my job is just humor. If the patient is not very receptive, my role becomes a stand-up comedian. I'll say to an eighty-year-old patient, 'Hi, you handsome guy. Sit up. Let me get your shirt off. That's good. Take your shirt off. Whoa, what a chest on this man!' With kids you have to start very slowly and say something like 'How old are you?' If they say 'ten,' then you say, 'Really? When I was your age, I was eleven '-silly stuff like that to break the ice."
