Oops, I did this before! At my first EAG I was spending too much time thinking what to say for the justification, so instead I just sent out like 10 1-1 requests with no comment and it felt really nice. These were 1-1s where I just wanted to hang out and meet new people, and I didn’t want them to feel pressured into accepting like I had some super important reason that I needed to meet with them for. Although, this might be more ok between college students who’re more likely to have nothing better to do.
Just speaking for myself — I’m not a college student, but I’m totally happy to get meeting requests where the only point is to hang out / meet the person! Sometimes these kinds of meetings are awesome :) But I’d prefer the person to send a connection request saying that rather than not have any message attached.
