Lmao, this just happened to me last night.

We went to taco bell and as we were in the drive through, the 2nd cashier started staring in the car.

I was in the passenger's seat. And it really started to get weird.

Because it was like 2 minutes of just staring.

And finally she asked me if i used to play for picayune elite. (My old AAU team) i was like yeah.

She asked if my name was shamiah. We talked a little bit, and the awkwardness went away.🤣
For a minute i didn't know how to respond.

I wouldn't say anything because it's not hurting me. But I will be aware of them in case it becomes more than just staring. If I feel they are following me I might flash them my tazer so they will back off.

Depends if it is a man or woman.

If it is a man I will confront them and see if they need help and if they do not respond I tell them to fuck off.

If it is a woman I will be very nice and maybe even flirt a bit. If she is creeping me out I'll do my best to creep her out until she stops.

Haha! I usually ignore it but more and more lately I find myself staring back.
i am one though that will star at a girl I think is attractive and it makes my day when they get rude about it because I k ow it is such a crappy thing for a guy to do. Haha!

First, I check to make sure they are starring at ME. Sometimes they could simply be looking at something beyond you or behind you, ot right next to you. Then when I look again and the other person is still starring, I will either look away or walk away. I SHOULD ask, could I hep you? But I'm too shy or scared to ask--what is this is a dangerous person? That's the paranoia in me thinking--but you never know in this world!

. still staring? how'd you like your eyes on the other side of your face, huh?

If it's one person just ignore it. If it's multiple people then my mind goes to a death cult is stalking me. (Completely rational)

Wink at them.  Makes 60% of them uncomfortable. 30% smile and laugh 8% roll eyes and look away 2% will approach and try to hit on me. Mostly members of same-sex.

Marushka · Answer

Kinda depends. Is it like some crazy crackhead looking with some manic expression at me or a hot girl starring at my butt?

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Depends why they are staring, and what their facial expression is, and who is staring at me. I may ignore it, I may tell them off, I may wave at them and smile.

Anno2 · Answer

It's best to ignore them. If you start a conversation with them they will start eye fucking you.

TrillXHippy · Answer

No matter what I went outside for there was a lady across the street that would always look out her window. If you never look at her she will continue to just stare at you

bigpauly · Answer

Lol it’s not uncommon for me. I just give a stare back to let them see that I see them and they usually look away.

crossdressingrihno · Answer

I don't know what I would do the only thing I can guarantee is there would be a spectacle

EnglishEuropean · Answer

It's highly unusual because I mostly go under the radar. If it's someone who doesn't look dangerous I'd stare back until the look away.
