Do you stare at people?

[Smashingdoozy]

My new thing in public settings is to lock eyes with someone and just stare at them blank faced. The longer you do it the more confused they get. I imagine their thoughts, wondering if I think they're attractive, if I'm just staring into space and they just happen to be in my space view, if they have something on their face. Every now and then I'll make a face, maybe a sly smile or a slight disgust. Or both! Keep them guessing!

A good stare is enough to make anyone squirm.

[Rab1901]

I don't do it in the way you do it, but yes.

When they're not looking, especially yes. When they are, I've done it before as well. Usually if we make eye contact for too long though, someone loses the staring contest. It's usually not me, but sometimes, I try to break eye contact first if it starts feeling weird. If it's someone I'm interested in, I will look some more and try to start a conversation.

[SnowedIn]

Thats awesome lol.

I don't stare at people. I will glance and of we make eye contact I'll smile.

I do have a habit of waving at people in cars as we drive by. They get sooooooo confused.

[Smashingdoozy]

I use to wave at people who looked up into my bedroom window as they walked past my house lmao. They act offended like they weren't just looking into someone house 😭

[SnowedIn]

Lmao really? Like... smh

[Apulu_Imback]

No but random kids nowadays have a bad habit of staring at strangers with disgust or glare. Like I was sitting in the backseat of my car and other kid from the car beside me during red light was staring at me with the most disgusted face as if I'm some sort of stinking trash. I gave back the kid the same look but with my poker face it was more effective.

[WonderBell99]

Yeah, I have a weird (probably very bad) habit of staring at people. I don’t necessarily stare at them, I just zone out sometimes and they think I’m staring at them. It just gets awkward. I’ve tried to stop myself from doing it.

In my YOGA class there is a much younger girl in my class that has the nicest ass in Orange County... I confess, I am in the back of the room and ogle her ass every chance I get...

[MementoMori777]

So you look at em like?

[Smashingdoozy]

Pretty much 😂

[MementoMori777]

Well that's one way to create insecurities I guess lol

[Levin]

Is this an American thing?

Cause we're shy here.

[Smashingdoozy]

I'm not American and have been doing this since I've lived in the UK so...

[Levin]

If you have an American accent you're American. Don't get technical on me.

Do you do this tup north or down south?

[DJB72]

You sound like fun. I've had a few people try to stare me down but they tend to break first. It's especially fun if they look away and when they look back you're still staring 🤣🤣🤣

[PointTaken]

I used to do that. Now the best is when I'm at work, I'll talk to someone and have the person watch another worker while we're talking. We watch the person, not talking about them, and the person gets all paranoid.

[exitseven]

i don;t know what things are like in great Britain but around here staring somebody down like that could get you punched out.

[Rangers]

Not into people's eyes, no. Not when they're facing me, either.

Unless I'm trying to read what's on their shirt, but I only look long enough to makeout what it says

[NathanDavis]

I do stare back... and never lost any staring contest...

[RealMarek]

Do people approach you more often after you stare at them?

[Smashingdoozy]

Absolutely. I usually tell the truth or just lie and say I was staring into space

[Nikki1989]

I try hard not to stare, but I am a people watcher. I can't help it.

[Kabluie]

Locking eyes is great, sometimes it makes it easier to talk someone new.

[loveslongnails]

I love when someone does that to me. I stare back or do something suggestive. LOL

[Sparkie460]

I'll look at people but I won't stare. I don't need to get punched out

[Andres77]

Nope, some whacko might have only needed that to set them off.

[Paulychicagoluv]

If you did that to me, I'd probably start picking my nose, then blowing it and looking at it. 🤣🤣

[Christoff92]

I really don't bother unless couple of the ladies are checking me out.

[art84]

No cause that is rude to do though wouldn't mind glancing at them.

[LiamJHayden]

Not usually unless the person is acting oddly.

[Anonymous]

It seems like I do when I never am. I'm just I guess looking into the distance. I'm not actually even aware normally that someone is there. It's kinda like looking through them.

[nawtee_me]

I usually don’t stare but I do look and a smile might confuse me…. lol

[Tstrbrainer]

That's not really a good idea.
Who knows what the other person is

[alearningboy]

Hahaha yes every single time that I have I turn my head.😂

[eagle1951]

sometimes, depending on if they are doing something, or they look weird lol

[Agape93]

Yeap. I watch people out of habit

[Pete671]

I do accidentally because I have autism,,,

[Still-alive]

i would make a face back at you ;P

[msc545]

Doozy, this is really unsafe.

[Charliefretz329]

Yes that’s fun lol

[CubaPirate]

No because its rude
