In any other context, this would likely be seen as anti-social and creepy. Anything that departs too much from normal interaction and social convention... doesn't seem healthy or relevant. One of many reasons I found therapy like training to be a therapy client rather than a person.

Also, i think this is the sort of problem you run into when you try to engineer a relationship.
