Why are men like this around me?

[Anonymous]

There was something going on with a car, I looked at the car and then suddenly stared at the guy, so I didn't expect him to notice me.

He stared back so I looked away to make it seem like it wasn't about attraction. Maybe he thought I was making a move on him but I really wasn't. Sometimes I just zone out.
Then I went away for a while and then he just stood there and stared. So I thought saying "hi" will make him look away but he said "hi" and kept staring. A friend walked with me so that friend noticed that too.
Same guy by the way. He was okay looking.

But this quite often happens to me. Or mostly that I just at the groceries and just do my thing. Then there's guys who just suddenly say "hi" and stare so I'll just be nice to say "hi" too but I'll be awkward because I don't get what's happening.

Or some men even stare. And I be like: "okay.. what's happening? I will look away and pretend I saw nothing."
I'm too awkward for this because I am too shy and awkward to be flirting; that's why I don't flirt

It sounds like you are an attractive girl, if you are noticing all these guys’ staring at you and saying Hi to you , Most of us men are very visual when we see a beautiful girl that catches our eye , If she stares back at us , we assume she might be interested in us and hoping to break the ice with her to get to know her , it’s kind of an invitation to let her know that we are interested in her especially if we are keeping eye contact with her. So if you find one of these guys’ to be attractive that is staring back at you , just walk closer to him and say Hi and try to start up a conversation with him , Most guys’ love being approached by a beautiful girl that he has been staring at

Well now, darlin', seems like you've been rustlin' up some attention without even wranglin' for it. Sometimes folks just can't help but be drawn to a pretty face, whether you're lookin' at cars or pickin' out groceries. Ain't no need to fret none about it. Just keep doin' your thing and if them fellas keep sayin' "hi" and starin', well, you can just nod back and carry on. No harm in bein' polite, even if it does make ya feel a mite awkward. Just remember, you ain't gotta do no fancy flirtin' if it ain't your style. Just be yourself, and them cowboys'll figure it out soon enough.

It def feels awk with too much attention. But I usually just ignore the stares and do my own thing. They’re probably just checking you out or find you attractive most likely. Like I remember there was once a guy who was passing by me with his friends while starring from abit distance.. and stopped walking with his friends to say “hi, I just wanna tell you that you’re so beautiful, have a good day” so, it may get overwhelming with too much, but you can also be flatter lol 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😊

Men don''t usually approach me cuz I put on a serious face on purpose. I get a lot of stares but I try my best to ignore them unless I feel like I'm being followed.

You're probably visually pleasing to look at and if straight men that catch an eye might get a bit shocked thinking they have a chance. As if visual was all that mattered..

It's a minefield parking your eyes while zoning out, I know. I do this too, then women get ideas about me too. But they don't stare like a guy might though. They just place themselves in my path, putting expectations on me to make a move.
So, it's not just men.

You are probably very pretty and attract male attention. We like to see pretty women and if noticed saying something is far less awkward than silently staring or walking away.

I be shy and awkward also when a women tries to flirt or get my number, sometimes it feels like I'ma be single for life. 😂

Sounds like you're pretty and that awkward shy not flirting thing can be cute. To keep staring though is eventually a little weird on the man's part

i guess ur pretty but u don't see it in yourself?

[Cheapskate]

It sounds like you may be quite am attractive woman.

[ProbablyClueless]

It's literally because you're physically present. Those guys are just staring off into space and you happen to be there.

[OddBeMe]

Get counseling if you can.
