A friendly wave from a distance is where I draw the line.

i met her in a hotel giftshop, we were on opposite sides of a book spinner. i wouldn't have stalked her, but there was my IDOL 2 feet away!!! so we had a nice chat. if i had seen her at her gate or something from afar, not sure what i would have done
