How do you tell the look?

[lookingforyou]

I saw some guy on the streets downtown today and he gave me a long, staring look. Even as we walked past each other, we were still looking at each other. It even made me think I might have known him from somewhere but I didn't remember.

 

I can never tell if someone is looking with interest and I should smile. Or someone is looking, thinking what's wrong with my hair or something. LOL. Or that's someone I probably know from somewhere.

 

How do you tell?

Does it matter? Why not smile anyway?

Because it always gets too confusing and by the time that I thought I should smile anyway, we've walked completely past each other.

 

Neither do I want to make a "mistake" of smiling at someone that was 1. making a mental picture of me for use later or 2. mistaking me for someone.

You can never make a mistake by smiling at someone. Why aren't you smiling anyway as you go out in the world?

I agree with this

As a man i can say..we look for satisfaction...even though in all reality we want more....so smile next time..as a reflection of your inner beauty and innocent..than no expression with awkwerdness and dissassociation...a genuine person is faithful physically and mentally...not everythings takes defining..just a simple accepting..youll be fine next time!

If you smiled at me I'd glisten a dimple and wink. But did this guy look friendly or fiendly? I don't advise making eye contact at smiling at gawkers you can't read something innocuous from.

He had a blank stare. I couldn't read anything vicious but there was nothing else to read because he looked blank. It was a little like he was looking quite hard, not in a bad way, but like he wanted to recall me or remember me for later.

 

Glisten a dimple and wink. That's it, right?

I only have one and it's on my left cheek. I consider that my good side. I only said what I would do and was not saying to do that--especially if you're an attractive woman walking around unescorted. Just FYI, I tend to quickly project that I'm a "safe" man by some gesture of salutation rather than blankness when someone appealing makes eye contact with me. That does not mean that I'm not really a lecherous rogue though.

See? That would have been nice, the gesture of salutation or something. I would have smiled in that case.

Check. That would be the cue.

Well, don't smile at people in dangerous alleys. But assuming you're in a safe, well-lit public place, I don't see the "danger." I presume others will intervene if a man tries to kidnap me outside a Starbucks. Also, I know krav maga.

I've given up on women for good so I will smile at anyone for any reason

Oh no, not krav maga!!! *makes crucifix sign with index fingers*

I've taken Krav for 11 yrs. I don't know that move. Perhaps I should ask my instructor. But being Catholic I doubt I would do it anyway

I don't know what the hell krav is. But it sounds evil I tell you, EeeeeVILLLLLL!!!!! *muhahahahahha*

Hahaha. . . it's a hand to hand combat system. I only know the self-defense version they teach to women, not like the in depth versions they teach the army. And how to run really fast. But, basically, my point is that smiling at people in safe places (using common sense) isn't going to lead a woman into danger.

I figured it was a martial art but I try to make joke, oui?
