I met my present lady friend in a grocery store. I saw her and she looked good to me. I just went to where she looking at something and made a comment that there is so much to choose from. She said yes there is. She had a little girl with her and I asked is this your daughter. She said no, it is my niece. I smiled at the kid and said hello. I said your auntie is pretty.The kid said yes she is. She (auntie) smiled and the conversation started. Found out she was single, two little boys and no man in her life. Told her I was a widower with no children at home. I gave her my calling card and said if you would like to go to lunch sometime, call me.
Been going on for over a year now. Big difference in our ages and it is a casual thing but for now, it works for the both of us.
Just be polite when you approach someone. They will soon let you know if they wish to continue the conversation. Do not push it.
On the subject of random people checkin' you out in public...(if not 100% on target with the ones who follow you around)...
I was out with my boyfriend yesterday and he said quietly, with a smile, that this young man was checking me out. I said, "You know, when someone looks at me, like, noticeably, I always assume it's for the same reason that I do that, which is that they remind you of someone you know, and you're trying to place it, or you think maybe you know them from somewhere." He said, "Yeah, well he must have thought he recognized your behind then." Hm. What makes me feel all about that, is that I was not dressed attractively. I had loose fitting Tripp pants, and a GWAR hoodie on. So I said maybe he noticed my hoodie, maybe he likes GWAR. My boyfriend said, "You need to learn to accept that you are a pretty lady, you know." Thing is, I wasn't trying to false-modest my way out of the implied compliment, I just was trying to figure out how on earth any man would have looked at me in that moment and seen anything worth noticing, especially from behind. Those particular clothes really don't show off any of my "assets."

Attractive women come in all shapes and sizes and wear all different types of clothes.
Maybe your GWAR hoodie added to your attractiveness, not because it enhanced your body but because it gave a glimpse into your personality.
I watched the video of the guy watching
Drew Shodin at Target in ND and other women at Victoria's secret after they found Drew's shoe, then body, 20 miles from where I lived in MN. My daughter was working at the same mall and walking back to the dorm afterward. I no longer think it's "curious" or intetestng, I couldn't care less about the guy's lack of social skills, some guys don't know how to behave bc they just got out of prison or the state Hospital. I no longer give anyone the benefit of the doubt in that kind of situation.
I don't think I have been "stalked" by guys in stores, but when I visited Tokyo a few years back, I couldn't help but notice some guys tracking women, or rather school girls, in stores and streets.
I didn't think much of it but then a friend who lives there, did say that some guys carry bags with hidden cameras inside. And when carried around out on the street it was possible to video women from a very long angle - primarily to take "upskirt" shots!
I did a little research, and yeah it's quite a common thing, and yet a woman in the a store wouldn't think any different other than acknowledging a creepy guy seemingly following her, but at a distance, and carrying a bag.
So with that in mind I am always on my guard if anything similar happens to me.

It's really kind of sad, but you can't anymore.
