They all float in Aisle 6!

For whatever reason, if someone stares at me I wonder if I'm wearing something funny or something is wrong. This actually just happened to me yesterday. I was getting out of the car and some really young guy, probably early 20s, was staring at me and smiling. He was with an older woman, his mother perhaps (just got that feeling) and talking to her but he literally turned his head to continue watching me as he passed. But he was kind of laughing...I felt awful...like maybe I looked...stupid? Ugly? I don't even know.

I had a glance at myself in the window walking by, my zipper wasn't down or anything, LOL, nothing was weirdly out of place, this bugged me.

I hate the staring thing whether it is supposed to be appreciative or not because it just gets uncomfortable...no matter what your intent you don't stare and stare and stare at a stranger without saying anything to her. Just don't, it is strange and uncomfortable. Perhaps ironically, staring for an overly long period of time is considered ANTIsocial behavior, and there's a reason.

I will say ththat grocery store and target is a hotbed for women in yoga pants. Some are the kind you want to see and others you want to quickly forget. At least it makes the process somewhat bearable.

I feel like I only see women in the grocery store with either their kids, or with a man. It seems to be the most inappropriate time to approach someone. It's like going to a movie and someone bugs you about your cellphone provider.

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.
Thanks for speaking up and providing your story.

I guess all of the men should just set back and do nothing and let women do all the work, based on how many women have pointed out that guys that follow them for a few minutes or say something to them at the store are creeps. Sometimes it takes a guy just a few minutes to size up the situation. Please be patient with us.

You beat me to it. Yeah, he's getting what he wants by looking and imagining, he ain't planning to approach.

It's not that I follow women around in the grocery store - it's just that they keep walking in front of me!

I will admit, there are quite a few interesting designs in ladies clothes. I do appreciate a woman who dresses in the way she enjoys.
