I am unfortunately innocent looking, so people find it always okay to approach me. One was even a girl. She was trying to get me to join her pyromid (not sure how to spell that) plan.
I don't remember the books anymore, I don't read in public to much anymore. The problem is the people who approach me are usually wanting to take advantage of me in on way or another. Once in awhile it's just someone asking for directions, which is fine.
I have no clue. It's not as though people assume a person reading a book is dumb (unless the book is upside down). So I blame my innocent looking face. On the plus side I could get away with murder if I wanted to.
Yeah, pretty obvious actually. I abhor interruptions when I'm reading. If I'm holding something in front of my face, then that should be a very overt indication that I don't want to talk right then.
Every time i've walked up to talk to someone who's reading, the reply i got was "can't you see im reading?" Basically if i see someone with a book i am in no hurry to be told to fuck off

Now when someone reads a book, he concentrates on it. When someone has headphones on, he concentrates on what he hears. Some people ignore this
I find it more inviting while ear buds is a huge turn away
No, apperantly not. I've been approached multiple times while reading.
That seems peculiar. Why do you think that is?

Innocent looking isn't bad. Being approachable is good. Unless you don't like people. What kind of books do you read?

Take advantage of you? Because you look so innocent?
I guess so? Who knows why some people do things.
I'm not agreeing with them wanting to take advantage of you. I'm just wondering why you personally think it happens

Ok now I'm interested. Is it ok if I massage you?
I mean message*you
Sure, I guess
Ok I will

A bit yes, i don't want to bother them. They could be studying for all i know
There's something about someone immersed in a book that says, "Can't you see I'm trying to read? Leave me alone!" :D
Seemingly not. It's one of those times when people wants to talk to you. Same with having ear phones in. Fucking annoying
They don't have anything blocking their hearing, so it's much easier to approach than someone wearing headphones
I certainly hope I'm unapproachable when I'm reading. I mean, hell, I'm reading ! Leave me alone!
If i saw a girl reading a book at the library I'm less likely to approach her i would sit down and hope she may crop of a conversation.
Depends on if they look like the book type that enjoys discussing it... like a book club type of person
I would hope it makes me look unapproachable. I don't want to be interrupted.
The right people will approach you ,, people who you will have more in common with>> the readers.
Yes, there's a reason I bring books to public places. People won't bug you if you look like your attention is on something already
Yeah usually I never bother people when they are reading lol
It would make you unapproachable to people who don't bother with people who are reading. I was approached when I had my head phones on...
And you did not appreciate that?
Unless its to ask them about the book I try to avoid interrupting their reading time ^-^
Personally, if I see a woman engaged in a book, I avoid bothering her.
I'm starting to believe nothing makes me look unapproachable... I personally would refrain from talking to someone when they're reading a book.
