The best way to think about BNFs is that they really are just people. Some of them are nice, some of them are assholes, some of them are nice so long as you go along with the stuff them, some seem intimidating until you strike up a convo with them and then they're perfectly sociable.

If someone is making your fandom experience unpleasant, I would just advise you not to follow them. I recently unfollowed a bunch of BNFs on Tumblr because I realized that they were just kind of obnoxious and didn't really bring anything I was interested in to the fandom table (besides being BNFs, which really isn't much of anything at all). This being the internet, you don't really have to deal with someone if you don't want to.

Also, I don't see anything inherently wrong with your approach. I've seen many BNFs become friends with people who started out as big fans. It seems like you had a bad experience. But remember the whole thing about how BNFs are people too. So you shouldn't let one bad experience dissuade you from talking to people and having fun.
