I'm sure there are people who have come across mates in grocery stores.
It's not like that for everyone. One of the keys to meeting people...is not expecting to meet people. When you go somewhere to get something or are going to an event, focus on that instead of meeting a future mate.
People take dating WAY too seriously, then get upset when their expectations aren't met.
When I'm shopping, I am very focused. I'm in my own "zone" and I do not like to talk to anyone, because it will throw me off my shopping grind. I'd prefer not to be picked up at a grocery store.
Um.. not such a good idea depending on who you approach? I am one of those speed shoppers, get my stuff done and out, hence I don't usually pay attention to the people around me (other than trying not to ram into people with my cart.) One time, a guy randomly chatted about something and I chuckled and was polite back. And then he smiled a little toooo much and was trying to flirt. UM. I zoomed the other way asap because it was weird and creepy. There is a time and place for things, at least for me? Just because I smiled at you does not mean I'm interested in you.
Very true.....
The other situations where it's kind of scary is in the taxis.
When the taxi driver starts asking me where I live, where I work, etc.......
Hitting on me when all I need is a safe ride, downtown.
Another one I forgot- mechanics, lol
Taking the car for repairs- or even an oil change, lol
Like I said men here are not shy
Do you really consider a taxi driver asking you questions a come on? Almost every taxi I've ever been in has been like that - men or women.
I think you probably think you're being hit on in some situations, but you likely have just met a friendly person.

Actually when they're asking me what I do for a living.... Then proceed to ask if they can stop by my place for some relaxation...... All I gotta do is give my number.....
Yeah, I know when its not just friendliness.
BTW, I was actually stalked
last summer by someone who was "friendly"
He was a driver that mistook
my kindness for weakness.
These days I do all my own driving.
I was approached out of nowhere and asked out at a grocery store. It was one of the few times I was sans kids. Apparently he didn't see my rings. I was flattered.
But to be honest, the only way I would know a guy at the supermarket was interested in me was if he actually asked me out. Otherwise I would assume he was just making small talk.
This thread is ample evidence that some women are much enthused about being approached in public settings, some are amused but not particularly receptive, some are indifferent, some are annoyed, and some are outright disgusted and horrified. To the extent that I've been able to observe, most women do not wear a conspicuous sign apprising the potential approacher of their degree of receptivity. Dogs (male or female) ready to mate are often accoutered in a bright kerchief around the neck. Humans (of either gender) rarely do this. And that's a pity!
The great challenge is to realize, despite the lack of obvious cues, when an approach is desired, and when the woman's privacy is best respected. And the more complex and hectic society becomes, the greater this challenge.
Surprisingly few women (or even men, for that matter) seem to understand the difference.
HC isn't a player he just crushes a lot.
His ways just hyptonize the ladies.
