Flirtation with strangers is a slippery slope toward the unknown. Maybe it will be a relationship, or a fling, or a lasting friendship - or maybe you'll end up buried in a snowdrift, or spun out onto a frozen pond at the incline's base, listening to the sound of cracking ice around your wheels.
Good interpersonal skills are like a four-wheel-drive vehicle - you could use them to great advantage in negotiating the slippery slope in question, but there's still no guarantee that you won't hit a patch of ice and lose control. And wisdom, wisdom is like... I dunno, tire chains maybe? or a good set of antilock brakes? Something like that.
It's possible that I've been thinking too much about my truck this week...
