All Eyes On MePage 1 of 2    (1, 2)
Hey Guys,

A few days ago, I was sitting in this cafe on my break. This pretty handsome guy came and sat at the table across from me. I didn't know him, but I could feel his eyes on me. I looked up, caught him glancing, and smiled. He smiled back. I went back to reading. I caught his eyes on me again, a few times. It was sort of weird, sort of cute, and sort of nice. He kept smiling at me. My break was coming to an end, so, after about 5 minutes of this back and forth glancing, I got up and headed back to the daily grind. I know I didn't have anything in my teeth! Was this an invitation for me to start a conversation with him? What does this mean?

Thanks!

^^^ You had eye sex hahahahaha

Isn't it great. Hopefully you'll see him again and kick it up a notch. You should give him your number.

YES that's what it means.

But why didn't he come over and talk to you? You might be asking...

For the exact same reason you aren't.

i agree...... it was definately about attraction..... and a bit of shyness (cause either one of you spoke to the other). I hope he comes back.

It would've been nice if he'd come over to talk to me. I guess though, it would've been nice for him if I'd done the same. I guess I was just too naive to understand that he was actually showing an interest. I always get so dense when it comes to that stuff.

It would've taken courage for either of us to get up and start talking to each other. I guess what I'm wondering is since he initiated all of these delicious eye moments, why didn't he have that courage to come over and start talking? He wasn't too shy to do that, right? Confused!

Because he has probably been shot down many many times by women much less beautiful than you. Only by playing eye games could he hope to find out whether you would have shot him down as well. Odds are you won't see him again. And if you do, he'll be cold and indifferent because you didn't respond--essentially shooting him down by your indifference.

A guy can only be beaten down so long before he remains there.

He stayed back because "Chuck Norris Is My Homeboy" as you say? People can be shy, people can also just be looking at the prettiest thing in their environ of the moment. That said I'd go look for him and do what makes the day for us shy guys. Just say hi, and smile at him. If that doesn't work just fuggedaboutit and let him get back to his boyfriend.

Because it's hard to approach. Is it appropriate? Welcomed? What was your response back to him? Did you make yourself approachable? (Hint, change posture. Clear off a spot at your table, etc.) Even a smile back or a wave will do most of the time, and is probably the best response.

Or, maybe it was just a compliment.

Unless you're in San Antonio Texas, where it is technically illegal to flirt using your eyes or hands.

ok, now take a newspaper or magazine, (roll it up) and hit yourself on the forehead: BAD-GIRL!, BAD-GIRL!, SMACK! SMACK! -(for letting a moment like that get away) -you should have at least looked him directly in the eyes and asked "WHAT?" -when you caught him staring at you, -(make him squirm a bit) ask him what he wants, or why he was staring at you. -dont sound nasty, (more intriguing) -of course he is most likely going to be dumfounded, but if he is attracted to you, he will at least give you some type of compliment, or maybe there is a big nasty beetle crawling in your hair or something -then you can ask him to run over to you and get it out. but at least you got the conversation started, and it puts the whole thing back in his court -since you sort of broke the ice. -if hes not a total moron -he can take it from there...

Hahahahahaha. I know it's a little old fashioned, but the next time you find yourself in this situation, take a page from olden times. When he looks at you, push your magazine or book off the table and say ooops while you are looking back at him. He'll get the message!

Good luck!

maybe he's a weird creep, who plans to find out where you live and/or work, and will then, sit outside your home/workplace, with his eyes on you, and smiling at you. ???

Stop telling women this. Most are freaked out with internet dating as it is, and then I have to get them to trust that I won't hurt them or rob them or whatever my evil intentions are.

^^^sorry
That was only one possibilty anyway.




Another possibility is: he was her "Mr. Perfect", and by not going over and saying "hello" she may have missed her only chance at eternal happiness.

Great! Now I've missed my only chance at eternal happiness! Why am I always so dense?!?!?! Baaah! I guess I never expected it to be for me-at first I was really uncomfortable about it, and became SO self aware. I did look him in the eyes several times, and gave this sort of nervous smile. I should've done the old drop, and bend thing, but I was so nervous! *Smacks self on head with Chuck Norris action figure* Aaah...the pains of love!

All you have to do is summon up the spine to MAINTAIN the eye contact (without looking down), and have a mysterious little "come hither" smile on your lips, and I guarantee you, he will come over to you, no matter how shy he is.

next time comeup with something to talk about...something completely benign to give an excuse to talk to you....like ask his opinion on something "Are you supposed to floss before or after you brush? cause my friends were having an argument about this yesterday..." Once you get past the opening remarks then it is easy to chat.

Sounds like an insecure guy who doesn't know what to say. Go back at the same time again and see if he is there and still starring. It is an invitation to start conversation but he seems to lack confidence in his ability to do so.

This is amazing most of the people think it is all about sex....!

I for one like and admire beauty. Beauty can be in a face, in a flower or any other place. To admire beauty is to feel beautiful in a way. So to say that if someone looks at you or smiles at you is only and only sexual in totally absurd!!

This is the reason why people are so scared to looking at each other, they think you look at each other or smile at each other and the next thing it to jump into the bed. To look at each other or to smile at each other is a human act and not just about banging each other.
