I enjoy using the internet and building follower levels up. From this point interactivity with people responding creates a good but tentative two way communication system. They chat and you listen.
Same basic theory with real life person to person contacts. Although the approaches vary with what is happening in their lives currently. There are more 'signs' to be bombarded with and a different but similar set of disturbances to deal with.
However real life people being what they are the initial contact is followed up with internet contact. Even if they give their email address I always follow up with asking that person to write theirs in a notebook. That way if their is a 'mistake' re contact address it is not my writing that the mistake has been made with. Should this happen I do not chase them again even if they are easily caught up with. Acknowledging their right of politely giving them that contact out is a safeguard for them.
When they bring it up though you know they are seriously interested and ready for the endeavours ahead.
Hopefully the rationale behind the systems discussed here can be of use to you and yours. Acknowledged that each of us is different with our approaches that fit each of our circumstances.
