Twice in a week this has happened to me. In both cases the girls were probably around 25, I'm a few years older than that. Once it happened at a cafe in my home city, the other time on a train, not in my home city.
They just flat out stared at me, like for 2 mins or more at a time. No noticeable smile from them in both cases. I had little to no interest in either of them, didn't find either very attractive. I was always taught its rude to stare. And still live by that.
Help me understand this. Serious answers only please.
Sounds pretty much like me and women except the roles are reversed and you are doing the rejecting.
I won't stare and haven't for years, but I used to. I used to not be able to help it when I saw a really cute woman. I'll still steal glares every now and then when she doesn't notice.
Honestly it depends on what they were doing at the time.
If I am sitting at a Diner, Coffee Shop or a place like Barnes & Noble and writing, I will stare at nothing in particular but I don't really see anything.
I am processing a thought, editing something I've written or trying to decide which direction I want to take the book when I have two scenarios written.
It is even worse when I am in the middle of writing a poem.
They may not have been staring at you specifically but it appeared they were because of the way they were sitting, facing, etc.
Maybe not actually looking at you, but simply lost in thought & gazing absent-mindedly in your direction?
I don't think this is a "woman thing".
