Heres how I look at it:
"Hello person I have no connection to, I was studying you from a distance and noticed you like what I like and I'd like to give you thanks for that, please be my friend"
I hear "My friends and I noticed you have a laptop we could easily trade for drugs so we hatched this plan where I distract you so they can sneak up from behind and jump you".
Just like when some random stranger walks up and asks "do you have the right time?" or "do you have a cigarette?" I hear "why don't you get distracted so you don't see what we have coming up behind you"
Call me paranoid but it's saved my skin a couple of times.
