Women checking you out, when they're with a boyfriend!!

LegacyUser

Now, I know this shouldn't bea bad complaint (a woman checking you out), but this particular situation made me feel a tad uncomfortable.

I was in a petrol station earlier, and as I was walking out of the shop after paying, I was kind of messing with my phone, and a car pulls in to one of the pumps. I look up and stop walking to let the car through, and the woman in the passenger seat is just staring at me and smiling. I'm kind of "what the f**k", as there was a wee baby in the back, and her bloke, it was obviously her bloke hopped out to fill up the car. I walked to a bin to chuck in some rubbish, and had to pass the car again on the way to mine. She was smiling again, and staring at me.
I looked, but looked away again (to be honest, she was very pretty..), so I didn't look again.
I'm thinking "what the hell are you doing!!you're spoken for..!" I don't know, it made me feel uncomfortable. I looked around, and there was nobody else behind me that she could have been checking out, unless she was day dreaming...!!
Anyone ever experience this?
I wouldn't mind, if she was single, she probably wouldn't give me the time of day...

Uhm, I'm sorry but you have absolutely no way of knowing that she was "checking you out". She could have been smiling at nothing, she could have been listening to something funny on the radio and smiling at that, she could have been on the phone and smiling at whatever the other person was saying, she could have been slagging you off to herself and laughing at your clothes/hair/face.

... and the guy filling the tank could've been her brother.

Honestly your blowing this way out of proportion probably because you thought she was pretty,
I was in a petrol station today and a woman with her kids smiled at me three times
and two men in the shop said hi, Really just being pleasant and in a petrol station there
isn't anyone to look really, I think it's an irish problem being freindly being mistaken
for flirting, It's notl ike she wolf whistled or asked for your number just being pleasant.
It's a real shame people can't just be friendly without it being misinterpreted.

Dude, it wasn't you, it was the Diet Coke in your hand that you just bought.

Sometimes, Honest George, it might seem like a woman is smiling at you when she is actually just smiling in your direction. I've often seen a bloke and smiled in his direction, for the silliest of reasons, maybe he looks like my brother, and the thought makes me smile, or maybe he's wearing a t-shirt that my husband also owns, which makes me smile, or sometimes I'm just thinking in my head about something, could be anything, which makes me smile.

There are times when I happen to come to my senses and see a guy smiling back at me and I feel embarrassed, thinking "Sh!t, he thinks I was smiling at him." when the truth might be that I hadn't even seen him, Could it be that something llike this happened to you? Especially as her partner had just left and her son was in her company?

yeah, it could have been for any of those reasons, but when you get that eye contact for just that little bit too long, it's a bit uncomfortable.....

take it with the goodness in which it was delivered - that's the message - a smile is a smile no matter where or at who it was delivered - its a gift

up for anything

Will you make a issue out of it the next time a woman looks at you/through you and:rolleyes: doesn't smile. Stay off the sour grapes.

Please say you're being sarcastic?

If not, you're saying that all women should avert their eyes if a man walks past them?

OH OP, you poor thing. I hope it didn't ruin your day, a women smiling in your direction. Jeez, life is tough sometimes. Don't pay these smiley happy people any attention. Keep your head down and your eyes to the ground when your out and about in future so you don't have to put up with this sort of thing. Seriously though, what would you do if you were out and somebody gave you a dirty look, call the guards :rolleyes:.

My deepest sympathies OP, this kind of traumatic experience should be brought to the attention of a counsellor immediately, google some and see who could fit you in urgently, just be strong, and know that not all women are like this, if I could reach through my pc screen and hug you I would, you're an absolute trooper.*
