While you are at a public place and find some stranger (perticularly of oppositesex) looks contineously at you for a long time and doesn't even blink; what happens to you? How do you handle that? Will you dare to open a talk? Ignore? Or if suppose this person suddenly comes to you and starts talking then? Any experience?

No, i would be hardly bothered, in fact i think if i was not bothered i would not notice the stare at first place. I am too busy with my work, to notice such things at first place. If people stare, then i don't care. Its a pity that celebrities are scared of people staring at them, i would not mind that, that means i am famous!.

Why don't you just walk away? I wouldn't play some staring game with him and risk getting beaten. Well, unless... :P

I probably start to look at myself and see if there's anything wrong with me.You know something could be wrong like my zip is undone or maybe I have something on my face, my hair etc..If infact there's nothing wrong I just ignore and walk away...xx

it happens to women very often.And it makes certainly uneasy.But after watching the person carefully one can understand his or her intensions.If we feel that person isnt good enough why to get involved in trouble, simply avoid the gaze and go away thats what many do.What is your reaction simply depends on your nature.Aggressive people will take up a fight mild people will be scared and matuerd will deceide according to the situation whether to react or not.
