ha, I don't run into them often enough to get their trust, they're still in stealth mode. Except once one of them was so enamored with his freshly found nut that he stood still in the middle of the path just in front of me looking at me like 'what ..'. Another time I came in one's back, sadly by the time I took out my phone I made enough noises for him to climb behind a tree. Most of the time it ends up with me looking up toward leaves trying to follow them as they spider-man in the air so swiftly. (Really there should be a Squirrel-man Marvel movie..)

if one ever gets on me I'll have the hardest time in my life not to bring him home..

It's more like they run into me here, depending on the time of the year even on my balconies, because they like what's in the bird feeders. They are all over around here, though urban, it's at the edge of town, many trees, large gardens, parks, allotment gardens/parcels, and so on.
