How do you react when a stranger stares at you?

Question

Depends who and why. Some jokingly is fine. Awkward from girls has been cute. If it's just no context and I have reason to be concerned for death, then I am worried slightly but also thrilled and anticipating some crazy plotline like the movie Stab. Any stare from a girl I'm good with. Men I'm flattered to a degree, like cool I can be attractive for gay men... yay... Still not gay though. Please frolic on.

i stare back, and there's no way in hell I'm losing a staring contest, so when they stop staring i feel triumphant

I'll glance at them or look for a little to determine why the stare bear 🐻 and or because they look "soft" I'll stare back for a bit and either smile or remain neutral 😐 if I'm unsure of why the staring. If it's from a woman, and the woman is average to hot, I'll definitely give a small comforting smile of "hey what's up let's all be cool man, like what of it".
Sometimes people turn their moods around if someone reacts right time, right emotion. A smile doesn't always cure it and even aggravates potentially a starer. Mmmm 😋

It depends. If they look at me and smile in passing I'll probably say eh how's it going in a friendly voice? If it's just some girl creepily staring at me either I will go talk to her or ignore her. If some guy looks at me once or twice I'll tend to ignore him and look at my surroundings, but if he keep staring at me, then he'll get the unflinching, you've got my fucking attention now mean face as I look right through him like a laser beam... Usually guys don't do that, but it's happened once in the past couple of month. After that he looked back twice real quick and then twitch a bit looking like he crapped his pants and decided to mind his own fucking business

If it's a woman staring, I'll go over to her and say something like.. Go on then, tell me.. My fly's undone.. right? If it's a geeza though I'd probably say.. Yes mate, what can I do for ya?

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I dunno... maybe try to give a wild stare back? :-D

Cutegirl06 · Answer

Depends on why and how. If it's a guy staring at me because he thinks I'm cute I don't mind, but if he is staring at me in a creepy way I get out of there real quick!!

DrPepper12 · Answer

If their hot:

Look away coyly, smile, then pause... Pause... Pause... Look again intently and smile wider with a VERY subtle head nod.

If theyre not

Give a quizzical angry look while gesturing and mouthing wtf? And then 🖕🏻

Depends on how they do it. If they look at me weird or stare at me for a long time, then I'll take it as a stare off challenge. They wanna play but I can give a damn good bitchy stare if they start with that bs lol

saroj786 · Answer

Just dont react. Don't make eye contact, and if it goes long then just keep staring on their shameful place and giggle (mocking).

TaureanBull81 · Answer

If a stranger stares at me you often wonder 🤔... is she checking me out? Or is she an intense and socially awkward woman 🤣

sheikalana · Answer

If they're right in front of me I would ask 'what are you lookin at?'

DJB72 · Answer

Smile and if possible fart in their general direction...

dinojames22 · Answer

If it's a man, I just stare back with a "which one of us is the killer" look. If it's a woman, human off spring or small animal, I tend to make funny faces.
