The problem is that you are expecting something out of the relationship. Friendships have to be formed serendipitously.
Networking is totally different. I would not spend more than two minutes of someone else's time unless I knew that I could immediately provide some value to them by referring another contact or providing asked-for advice. I wouldn't recontact them unless I had a referral or information they would find valuable.
