A age 51-59, anonymous writes:

When out to eat the other day with my daughter. We were at aa table in a sandwich shop. This guy sits there and stares at me the whole time never takes his eyes off me. Then he leaves before I do. Then when he gets ready to leave he walks by my table his eyes were still fixed on mine and staring at me. Why would he be staring at me like that? He was with his male friend. He was between 45-50. Any ideas.

Maybe he is also attracted to you.

eyeswideopen agony auntMaybe you look like the body he buried in his backyard a few years ago. Maybe you had some spinach stuck to your chin. You were there, we weren't. If you clicked the correct age bracket aren't you old enough to take this at face value and not give this a whole lot of thought?

xanthic agony auntHe might have found you attractive, but obviously lacks the common sense to know staring and watching the every move of a complete stranger is incredibly rude.

This was probably his way of trying to get your attention. Some men (and even some women) have absolutely no tact or social awareness, and think staring a person down will get a positive reaction and be seen as flattering. Obviously, it does the exact opposite. The best thing to do in any situation involving this behaviour is to ignore it.

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntI can't judge unless I see a description of his stare. Was it a friendly stare or a hostile one? Whatever it was, I can tell it unnerved you so, I think it best that you try and ignore him should he continue this prolonged and pointless stare.

I hope that helps.

he wasn't blind was he? blind people tend to "stare" quite often. he probably just thought you were hot. guys like to play that game sometimes. stare at a chick even if she see's you looking, but just keep looking. like a "oh, I see you see me looking at you but im not going to look away like I was just caught so you better break contact first." thing.

That or he's just funny in the brain area.

Hi there. Perhaps he fancies you. Maybe he's tongue-tied (shy), would like to get to talk to you, but doesn't know where to start.

If he was staring at you for some specific purpose, surely he would have found some way to actually say something to you. He could see that you were with your daughter, so it would have been a bit awkward to talk to you, with her there.

What I would suggest, is to go there again soon (but by yourself), and just have coffee and a sandwich, and see if he turns up. He is much more likely to approach you when you are alone.

Perhaps he is a regular to that shop too. You will soon find out anyway. You will only find out if you go there on a regular basis yourself. Not every day, that's too obvious but say once or twice a week.

You are probably both locals to the area anyway, (work or living in the area), so you are bound to see each other on the street in passing from time to time.

So just see what happens over time. You probably will see him again sometime, then there's your chance to say at least - hello. Then take it from there.

It might be that he's interested in you, or maybe it's something to do with what you do for work. There's a connection somewhere at least. Over time, all will be revealed I'm sure. All in good time.

Hope this helps you. Take care and best wishes.

I am no psychic or telepath. For the record, I don't believe in any of that stuff to begin with.

Really your guess is as good as ours. How should we know what his intentions were? He might be wondering if you're that old classmate/colleage/acqaintance he knew from way back. He might like how you look but hasn't had the lesson that said staring is off putting. I don't know.

I wouldn't think too much of it. Fact is you're garnering male attention for whatever reason. Don't question it, embrace it and feel good.
