I've encountered that once. I remember I asked someone if he is interested to join, he replied "If it is networking, I don't want to" , even if I haven't finished my sentence. HAHAHA

Thank you very much! Let's keep on sharing this platform! As ms.@dandalion always told me, don't loose hope, even if they didn't join, at least you've shared them this platform. Time will come that they will be the one to ask you about it rather than you persuading them to join."

Let us be patient :) And continue to support and promote what we believe in :)
