Lets say if one of the stranger anywhere asks your name do you reply the person and keep any sort of relationship when the person says he or she like you,do you avoid the person. What do you do when you are in this situation when a stranger appear from nowhere and asks you something,do you trust stranger who gets into your personal life apart from someone who know.I think stranger can sometime be true but at times it is difficult to trust one as you know as the world today danger lurks every corner of your life.

There are people who dont even trust stranger and avoid them at all cost,but in my case i love to meet some people who are strange to me, i can say their behavior or face says it all whether the person is good or bad.

i learn how to read people pretty good. but strangers are friends we havent met yet. but trusting a complete strangers with my personal information is risky so it depend how they are acting, i do often have to let stranger at my house either detailing thier cars or doing music business. when i do thier cars they have to stay outside with me, and doing other business they are only limited to my dinning room with me. and i watch them closey

Hello Fireheart. In my work talking to strangers can't be avoided. It's part of my job. It's only casual talk and I usually talk with them in relation to work only. No more other things. Good day to you.

Generally I will talk to them to answer questions, however if they ask my name then I tell them it, because I don't think that they would be able to find much out about me with just my first name. If they wanted my second name and it was just a random person they I would jus. Use a fake name. I would of course wonder what warrants their interest in my second name in the first place, but that wouldn't be a worry if the didn't know my actual second name so it's all good as far as I'm concerned. But if it was someone for a marketing company then I would usually five them my second name if it was for something I was acually interested in.

if it would help the stranger, i will. i would be careful with what information i give out to him. if he is asking for directions or information about our place, i would gladly help him. if he is asking for personal questions, i would already have second thoughts giving it to him. we cannot just trust anyone that easily.

You can say that,if a person asking direction is no different than a stranger, maybe there would time when you really gotta trust one,if you are in that situation.perhaps we all are strangers,but we talk.

Lurks is frquently hiding very corner of our life, I agree. My friends suffer once several years ago when he met the stranger. The stranger is smiling and ask for the way, then the large amount of money carrying form the body is gone after his mind came back to the reality. He even did not figure out what happened there. After experience such kind of loss, he is very alert when some stangers came up to him with smiling. I am a person who is easily to get along with the stranger, sombody called I am approachable and easily to get cheated without any cautions. Plus the experience of my friends, I should be careful next time when I meet the strangers.

Dear friend, I would not open or talk all those much to a stranger. Provided I would always like to have a careful talk to them. If they are asking for a help I would do it and would also like safeguard myself too.

I have no problem talking to a strangers. But I will limit my conversation. I don't simply give my personal info to him/her. But I'll try to make the conversation comfort to both parties. ;-)

for me,if a strange walked toward to me with smill, and very kindly ask for where the road is? i would very glad to give him/her an answer,as there are the real person who need to help.but if the strange come to me and ask for the personal question,i'll ignor it and go away. good luck and have a nice day!

It would be hard for me to get into a long conversation with a stranger. I would keep my talk or conversation short with him/her. I try not to give up too much personal information about myself either. You just have to be careful or alert to the stranger so they don't do anything funny to you.

I wont mind talking to strangers as long as we are talking in the right place. if a stranger approaches me and ask for something like direction or place, I won't mind answering him or her, but If it's something personal maybe I'll just walk away. I sometimes approaches strangers specially when I'm a little bit lost.

Sometimes I speak to strangers depending on their manner of talking and how they approach. Even so, I maintain enough distance and be selective with the answers I give. You're so right that it's hard to give trust so sometimes I'd rather be safe than sorry.

now in the city we will always face strangers at any where.normal we will pass them and could not notice them. but sometimes when you are free and have nothing to do,especialy you are walking.you will take more attention what han happen.at that time you will notice strangers.

Not really. I would be quite wary; but if it's just a harmless friendly hi and bye kind of thing and just something of like a baseless chat, I can entertain for a bit. This happens normally for me and some apartment people whom I've never seen taking the lift with me. If they smile and make small talk, I will answer. But you are right; there are danger everywhere and for that, it's best not to be too close for comfort. Just the basic stuffs interaction will do.

I used to talked to people like that because i never thought i will get hurt. But i have a very bad experience of that so i don't talke to sranger that easily. I mean i will still talk to them if they answers all my question and i confirm he/she is okay to talk to.

I like talking to strangers because I like to meet new friends and people. I like people. But still, it depends. If a person looks dangerous of course I would not but I know that some people are disguising so we would not notice them but in case that I'm caught up in a trouble because of talking to strangers, I'm ready to defend myself. :) I met a lot of strangers and their kind. They said that they wanted me to be their friend and others said that they like me? Gosh! its really scary but I know if a person is talking sincerely with a good intention. My last encounter with a stranger happened just recently. Haha! But I'm glad he paid for my fare and he's really kind. Not all the strangers are bad? Come to think of it, We are also strangers in the eyes of others so lets be good at others too but we have to be careful. :)

Yes, i can give my name but it depends on the looks and gesture of the stranger. It is very true not easy to trust strangers easily but if someone ask you in right manner why not answer.

i would probably avoid talking to the person. its really hard to trust someone nowadays because the world is getting danger but sometimes someone would really need to ask something like he/she lost her way don't know where to go.it really depends on the situation and be more observant when staying a public place.

Honestly..love talking to strangers because I am able to get new ideas from them. If a stranger ask for my help I don't hesitate to help them. I just stop talking to strangers if they stared asking about my personal life and specially my love life..
