Non-Target Networking: Do I need to stay in some sort of touch with 50 people I have called and 10 people I have met?

Monkeys,

Lately been thinking about how non-target has to network aggressively to break and how contacts/networks grow over time. I understand it's the most important part of the process and in no way am I complaining about it, but I realized that I have spoken to multiple people and even met multiple people. What is the "line" in not burning bridges or keeping in touch with all these people? What happens when you come across these people in real life?
