Yeah all you do is politely apologise to him and her for that matter and he should be fine with it

I know you've not done anything wrong as such but it has the potential to be an explosive situation to be in and it's just a polite way to cool it down and prevent it , I've been out with a few lookers and soon as they see me they hold their hands up and apologise so no problems

I've been in this situation a few times but witnessed it a lot more from others..... It's not actually the fact that you have approached their girlfriend but it's usually the way you do it that fumes them

The very worst is when you do see them with their boyfriend and you still approach..... It makes the boyfriend look a right bleep so naturally tempers fly.

Did they confront you aggressively, or more in a casual way (like saying I'm her boyfriend or something like that)?

I love following attractive ladies, but I don't expect any conversation. I just enjoy looking at females I like, I mean, it's a kind of people watching.

Consider this video:

Mod cut: Link deleted. Inappropriate content.

Another thing I've noticed is that younger women - under 30 - tend to be MUCH MORE confident in their approach to men. I've watched women blatantly, openly hit on guys and it works like gangbusters.

Women over 35 still sit there and wait for a guy to approach them and more often than not, the types of men that approach men in public places aren't always the best kind of dudes.

But because they have "confidence" (which really means they've developed a scab over the rejection fear because they've hit on so many women that they no longer care about being shot down) suddenly it makes them more "attractive."

And this is why so many women end up in horrible relationships. lol
When I was in college, I had been approached by a 40 something female while waiting in line to pay the fine for traffic violation. The line was long and slow.

I believed she was just bored and tried to talk to someone, but I was reading my kindle book so I didn't talk to her much.

Actually I have always been very confused, I can't tell if a woman is approaching me or not.

I know being stared can be quite uncomfortable. I was always very cautious, I followed them very covertly. If the lady noticed me, I would not follow her any more.

I won't follow too long, at most a few minutes.

There are almost always quite a few attractive ladies, there's no reason to only watch one lady. As long as you don't follow one particular lady for an extended period of time, she won't complain.
