Yesterday on the elevator during my late lunch, a woman came on dressed really sharp. One of the guys in the elevator, also dressed extremely sharp, started staring at her intently with a smile on his face. She noticed him and start glancing at him with a smirk on her face. I was surprised by her reaction; she actually appreciated the fact he was staring at her. Most women I know don't like men staring at them, especially in confined spaces. They find it creepy and rude. Because of that, I rarely ever stare at a women on an elevator or train. Sometimes in the train I might look but definitely not on an elevator. As they walked out, he kept looking back towards her.
Is he really into her, or does he just want her on the spot? What would you do if someone stared at you? Would it bother you if a guy or girl stared at you in an elevator?

It depends. Sometimes, they will stare and look away afterwards. In that case, I don't mind it. I just feel whatever about it. When they stare back(either guy or girl) and it's too intense, it might come off creepy to me...especially in a small space. But, I stare back at them(not the way the girl or guy stared at each other in the blog), but I will stare 'till it gives them a queue to stop looking haha...it works
Depends on the kind of stare... could be very creepy or it could be arousingly flattering.
I could care less if someone (guy/girl) stares at me, but that is just me. Some girls like guys staring at them, they like the attention (even if it is in a creepy way). Which is something I never fully understood. If anyone can help me understand it, I greatly appreciated. They like the idea guys are checking them out, guys look at them and want them. I would think for a guy, it doesn't really matter.
It's just at flirt.....no big deal. I'd smile back and say "hi".
Staring - No; Flirtive glances - yes
I think staring is pretty weird and impolite; if I see an attractive girl in an elevator, I'll say hello and ask how she's doing or come up with something funny/ironic to say on the spur of the moment. I guess it's a little more daring, but if it were a girl I were interested in, I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to chat with her.
if it had been me, i probably would have reacted the same way. but not out of appreciation. that'd be my, "oh god, what's he staring at me for? is he trying to get a reaction?" nervous, on the spot, don't know what to do because i'm trapped response.
staring is rarely a good idea. especially if you don't know the person.
I don't like staring at all, man or woman. My mother taught me that staring was rude and it makes most people uncomfortable.
Starring ..is different from flirting. These two were obviously flirting. If someone gives you a negative expression then you better look away! Cuhs girls like me shove up the middlee finger..HAHAHA! No, on a serious note..Just don't look too creepy.
I dont scare as well.
From what I know, girls like being "looked at" especially when they know they are looking nice that day/night.
:)
So stare on! (at girls who are well dressed) and Don't look! (at girls who aren't so well dressed).
:D
i think being stared at should be a compliment. so i dont know. some people arent as perceptive and can find it rude.
It depends what kind of stare.
I would probably get nervous, wondering why the hell someone was staring at me. I'd get paranoid about it.
Smile and flash my wedding band :)
He probably just wanted her on the spot since she was dressed so sharply. I don't like to be stared at so I would either glance at them to let them know I KNOW they're looking at me and that I'm kind of annoyed about it.
I was the last person onto a crowded elevator once and the "Overweight" buzzer came on -- with a flashing light. Everyone stared at me, so I humbly stepped back off...
It all depends on the factor of physical attraction. If the guy is really good looking and stares at a chick, it's an ego booster and she tends to enjoy it very much, but if the guy is ugly or a creep, forget it, he would get the cold shoulder.
Yeah, it's definitely a learned custom to not stare at people for prolonged times, esp in an elevator. He was probably checking her out. Either that or just a socially awkward dude.
wow, and i thought i was indiscreet about checking out girls. coincidentally, i've noticed there's this guy that periodically turns around and looks at me in one of my classes. i'm pretty sure that he's not checking me out (i'm a guy, if that's at all relevant), in which case i suppose i'd be somewhat flattered, but otherwise i'm pretty creeped out by it.
@awokenfatality@xanga - that's kind of sad in some respect, though i suppose ironically the guy wouldn't have been checking out the girl in the first place if he didn't find her attractive as well.
outright staring isn't cool, but she smiled at him and looked right back [shrug]
diff'rent strokes.
I stare at girls in the elevator all the time. I think that face they make means they love it.
I think I would be a little creeped out if someone was staring at me on the elevator, but perhaps they know each other and were just keeping it on the DL? LOL I love coming up with little stories to go along with out of the ordinary scense. Sorry.
They were secret lovers, covertly exchanging glances as strangers. There was nothing creepy about it in this instance. He's completely into her. Wonder how I know so much, don't you?

@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - It is. I wasn't applying it to me, but just in general this tends to hold true.
