Why you should stop crushing on strangers

[Anonymous]

1. Yes this cute girl/guy you caught staring at you, you'll probably never see him/her again. And you'll get depressed from a love that never existed.

2. Ok, he smiled back but making an ad on a Facebook spotted page is creepy.

3. He/She might not be single.

4. He/She could be a pain in the ass but in a good looking body.

5. Again, you don't know anything about those cute eyes.

6. Don't you look at people without thinking about the way he/she kisses? So do they.

7. They take the same peanut butter, that's not a sign. No.

8. Your parents told you to not talk to strangers.

9. You are staring.

10. If you are seriously crushing, just go ahead and give your phone number and name, remember you might never see him/her again!

I hate when men stare and then never try to make a move but then they get mad or upset and complain that girls don't like them

[SilenRose]

Because some how it was put into their heads that the "stare" is suppose to be sexy and intimate. It is not. If you stare and don't make a move, especially when your target realizes your staring, then it becomes creepy. Where I live guys tend to do it often. It's creepy.

[g3a9j7]

usually guys aren't going to approach if the girl never smiles or gives some kind of indication that she wants him to come over

[ThisDudeHere]

All of this is easier said than done.

I remember a few years ago, this really gorgeous girl used to get on my bus home every Tuesday after college and it's safe to say I fell in love with her. I used to see every week where she liked to sit so I'd start sitting on the seat behind her ever wondering if she'd turn around and strike a conversation. Unfortunately it never happened. And I haven't seen her for a while now, but she was stunning and in all fairness I guess I do even miss her.

I've recently got into a relationship though so things are different. But whenever I'm feeling a bit doubtful that we're going to work out, I know I end up crushing on random strangers. We were in a restaurant for my mum's birthday last weekend and there was a girl a few tables away, I felt like she kept looking at me and I couldn't stop looking at her either. I even took an unnecessary trip to the toilet just so I could walk past her and get her to notice me..

Yeah I need to stop crushing on strangers

[Deezyy]

My eyes love candy though. I'm pretty sure no harm will come from thinking "Damn, he looks bomb" it's human nature to do this, even if it's unintentional. I see people look at me too and sometimes I think "you look good" but I won't act on it because I'm too shy for that. I forget about them like 15 mins later lol. No big deal.

I don't really think this is so accurate , because feelings and love works in many ways.
You don't always have to know someone to figure they are what you want from first sight. Crushing on someone you know doesn't always work out, so that is just something to think about. If its meant to be, the two people will cross each others roads, but when you are into someone you don't think about all these extra stuff. Getting them is the only thing that is on your mind to be honest.

[LittleSally]

Yes, it makes sense. But crushing only on people you know - kind of extremely limiting.
I think people should make an effort to get to know the person they think might be compatible with them. =)

As others have said, easier said than done. Sometimes you see someone repeatedly who is knockout gorgeous and you just can't forget how they look but simultaneously we haven't found the right situation to approach them, ask them out, etc

Sometimes women get creeped out by men approaching them, regardless of what they have to say.

"Again, you don't know anything about those cute eyes"... you got me.

Lol.

[BruceJender]

I probably crush on at least 5 girls/women when I'm out... it's only natural, and 30 mins after crossing their paths, I've forgotten how she looks like.

There's no trouble with that whatosever...

[Gommers]

Every friend was once a stranger. Quit with the stranger danger nonsense.

[Dingsbums]

What haha those are believes which hold you back... Everyone was a stranger in the beginning

[Anonymous]

The quality of this take aside, "... but making an ad on a Facebook spotted page is creepy. " - I can't seem to figure out what that means. Wouild you be so kind as to explain?

[SilenRose]

I thought it was like, "You see a cute girl in class or on the street and some how find her on FB and try to add her as a friend." This actually happened to my friend when she worked at the mall when MySpace was still popular.

[Opinion Owner]

i don't think so. if that's what take owner meant then what does making an ad have to do with it and what is a "spotted page" even?

[myTake Owner]

A spotted page is like back in time, people used to send love letters to some newspapers to find a stranger they crossed at the train station or whatever. That's a same thing but on Facebook with your city spotted fb page and that's anonymous!

[LordZero]

Every stranger is evil even when God himself is near them.

[apexalpha]

Totally useless take, why?
We all start of as strangers at one point

[93stepsawayfromhome]

"Your parents told you to not talk to strangers." is not a valid reason.

[Anonymous]

I had a really hard time with this a few months back but remembering that i actually knew nothing about that person was a great help.

[Anonymous]

You should stop crushing on a stranger because

1:you don't know anything about him

2:he could be harmful to you

3:he could rape you

4:he might be someone who could put u in danger

[ShayanMortazavi]

You don't have to worry about any of that if you have a gun on you. I don't understand why all girls won't just go out and buy a gun. And then they complain about not feeling safe. Just buy a gun and shoot your attacker. It's not that hard.

[Bards]

One can not simply stop

[KBob93]

Haha what's up with #7?

[James19]

Good take but point 7 and 8 are kinda funny.

[SilenRose]

Lol at #7!!!

[checkyesjulietx]

it's harmless.
