A Real Colleague not a Spammer!!

[Lamont Marable]

Not to often, but from time to time I get people asking to be colleagues. So I'm like, Sure!! I then reply back and create some REAL dialogue. .....Dead Silence!! I hear nothing from them ever again. I'm a real person (check my Bio and Youtube) and I'm willing to hook up with other "REAL" people on BP that live in Maryland, DC or Virginia (DMV). Even as far south as North Carolina, South Carolina and Atlanta. If you're my colleague, I check in on you, see where you are, create dialogue, and will meet up with you at a REIA meeting. Plus my number is always on my Bio for texting.

Do you treat your colleagues as real connections or is it a status rating for you?  Maybe I shouldn't be as committed and passionate as I am!!
