Chip is the same way - he'll approach people he doesn't know if he thinks they aren't paying attention, but as soon as you turn to pet him, he runs in the opposite direction. We got him at 7 weeks and tried socializing him and everything - I actually attribute it to him coming home so young and not learning socialization from his mother. He's gotten a bit better since we brought Smokey home, who is the complete opposite and will lick you to death no matter who you are... my husband jokes and says he's like the squirrel on Madagascar that says "I liked them before I even met them I liked them!" Chip will get jealous sometimes when strangers are paying attention to Smokey and you can tell he's still being cautious, but is more willing to approach the person. Then there are very few people, he'll take to right away... our friend came over to help us move last month and this was the first time Chip met him. Our friend sat down and Chip jumped in his lap and started kissing him... we all stopped out of pure shock!
