I once followed a girl around when I was working retail in high school. I just thought she was beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off her; I didn't make a pass because my ex girlfriend was working at the same store at that time though.
I've done it a few other times when I think someone looks familiar and if I know them; I'll approach them, but besides that; it's not the norm for me.
Why do you think they do this? I find it odd and am trying to understand what's behind it. When I see a good-looking guy, I think "oh, wow, he's handsome" and I go about my business, assuming that he's taken or out of my league. If he's in my vicinity, I'll probably steal some glances. If I have the courage and he seems approachable, I'll find an excuse to talk to him. But, it has never occurred to me to follow him around.
One time I was at the grocery store early in the morning. Very few people in there. I noticed this guy and then I saw him hovering near a woman and playing with his cell phone. I assumed they were a couple becasue I saw them in the same scenario once or twice more, including in the check-out line. They left separately.
Question for men, have you had women follow you around?
Well, if you are wanting to meet someone, and didn't have a chance to meet anyone, and not sure how either, and then you come across this woman in the store that seems appealing to you, it's such a shame to just pass and let her go...
Would you want to make contact? Most people are too shy for that. And most women would be creeped out (unnecessarily).
Why are they creeped out? If a man saw you, and this is the only chance he has to see you (and then you will be out of his life forever possibly), why shouldn't he make a few moments last as long as possible?
yes, it's not a form to stare or to follow, but think of a person who liked you and is going to lose you in the next moment forever.... such a shame
i wish the form was that people were allowed to exchange email addresses and start writing to each other and getting to know each other, rather than simply passing by their chances...

I just asked my b/f and he said he's never been aware of any girl following him around a store. Smiled at and flirted with a few times when paying for something but never followed.
I haven't been followed around the store, thank goodness. I HAVE had guys follow me across town and then I saw them at the store while shopping. I suspect more guys than I know of have done this. Or it might just be a coincidence.
Follow around a store? now that is weird. If I'm walking in a city to a destination and I see a hot girl on my journey, damn straight I will be checking her out. But I won't usually alter the course of my travel to do so. Checking out girls when driving, that is a whole new subject, one filled with danger lol.

I just assume they're store detectives. Except once, this guy and his woman passed the isle I was in. He looked at me, did a double take, then told her he'd catch up in a minute. He came down my isle alone and said, Damn girl, you got some nice legs! I ignored him and he repeated it. I ignored him some more and he started bad-mouthing me. I still ignored him. I don't think he was a store detective.
I think it happens to me every once and a while at the super market, but sometimes I don't know if it's just coincidence or if they're intentionally following me; looking for that moment of eye contact or an opportunity to approach me.
I can't say I ever got the "creep" vibe from any of them though. It takes a lot more than that for me to get creeped. Maybe being so tall and having to deal with strangers stare, point and/or approach me all my life kind of desensitized me from the creep factor?
