I really wouldn’t like the scenarios you’re describing, it sounds exhausting, it’s best to walk away in my opinion.

It depends on the people, like anything else. I've done TONS of volunteer work and it didn't lead to either new, quality friends OR a job, like the opening its touted to be.....
We did have common goals but unfortunately it didn't go beyond that. Much of this advice, which I've heard from other sources too, doesn't work for everyone.
I agree with Disco, I'd just walk away and tell them so.
