Well the alternative is to use the new chat feature and try to talk to people on the strike playlists. I met quite a few people that way and it's because of that I was able to screen who I was adding.
If we jived, I'd just ask "Hey man mind if I add you? I'm trying to get enough good people together to run the raid."
Throw in a comment with a built in compliment and there's no reason they should say no.
If you're already running strikes, you're half way there.
You don't have to build lifelong relationships and invite each other over for Christmas.
I know this isn't the answer you wanted, but I did it out of necessity and managed to get a few groups together. I even got invites to raid from some of those people because they knew other people, too. It's networking.
Good luck man. (I'm 33 with 2 kids. I get the pain, totally.)

Some of us are against "friending" strangers out of principle. And there is no way to distinguish between "real" friends and "fake" friends for privacy settings on the Xbox 360.

Edited by named jake: 12/18/2014 3:37:43 AMI've only ever met 1 person who drove me nuts, I immediately blocked him. I've made tons of friends over voice chat through various games over the years. Don't be afraid man. Also, don't put personal info in your bios, time zone is plenty of info.

It's simpler to just friend people I know in real life. I really don't care for artificial "social interactions".

Fair enough. Its not for everyone. I truely enjoy my "Xbox buddies". I'd never have gotten to meet a handful of cool people from Australia had it not been for Xbox. I can't imagine doing a raid without those hilariously pessimsitic bastards.

True, but that's why you spend the strike time playing and talking. You can feel out (for the most part) the kinds of people that are right for friending or not.
