Creeper looking at you while in a restaurant, etc
 
While we were at dinner tonight with our friends, I was seated across from my wife. Every time I looked past Ms Rocket, a guy was looking at me. It was weird.

No idea who the guy was. We had a lot of fun thinking of gestures and facial expressions I could make towards the guy. Like blowing a kiss, winking, licking my lips, etc.

When we left, my friends said he was looking at me as we left.

Anyone experience this? Was it one of those things where two people make eye contact and subconsciously wonder why they’re looking at me?

I tried to get a picture of him but only got a good picture of Ms Rocket and friend.

You looked like someone he knew but had not seen in a really really long time and he was trying to figure out if you were that person or not.

Or you had a massive booger in your nose and he was puzzled why none of your mates had said anything yet.

Do what you did back in HS. Go up and tell him, "what the fook are you looking at" and invite him outside and settle it there.

It has never happened to us but an older lady, like grandma, kept looking at us when my kids were about 2 and 4 after a long day at Legoland finally was able to get dinner at a local restaurant. My kids were very well behave in restaurants. She came over and complemented us on how we trained our kids to be so nice in a quiet restaurant.

He may have been jealous and just wanted to say "I'll swap you two blondes for your brunetts."

Haha!

The funny thing is, the girl to the far right, looked like our daughter.

Agree with Scott - probably thought he knew you from somewhere.

I have a good friend with prosopagnosia (face blindness). Intelligent guy, holds down a very well paying, technically demanding job; struggles to recognise faces sometimes even of the people he knows well. If he is confronted with two people who look vaguely similar, he's lost. Hides it well most of the time and is quite ashamed of it. Concentrates on clothing, body shape, hairstyles, voices to recognise people.....
Anyway, maybe the guy wasn't a creeper. Maybe he was thinking "Do I know that guy and will he think I'm a jerk if I don't say hello?"

99% this was it.

Could be.

At one point, I saw him talking to the person next to him and next thing I knew, several of the people at the table were looking at our table.

He’s probably at home right now talking to his wife, saying did you see that creeper! 😂

This exact same scenario has happened to me. It was in a crowded Chinese restaurant.
I confronted the guy by looking him in the eye and saying in a clear voice "Is there something wrong?" and he never looked at me again.

Some people play games & there's no way to know what this guy was thinking.
- I wouldn't take it personally.

t.

This has happened to me multiple times.

There was a large group of friends of friends at a pub. a guy kept looking at me and said I know you from somewhere... After a quick discussion he said "Let's go right back, where are you from originally?" It turned out we knew each other when we were about five years old. Next door neighbours.

He was looking at the attractive woman just past you at the next table.





Or he may have been looking at the chalkboard with the list of desserts that was just above your head, trying to decide what he wanted.





Just kidding... I stole that last one from a movie or TV show.
:cool:

I hope you do not wake up in a bathtub full of ice missing your kidneys

A tv on the wall behind you?

A930Rocket 11-28-2021 03:50 AM

No tv’s or menu’s behind me.

His head was just over Ms Rockets right shoulder, so any time I looked at her, he probably thought I was looking at him. Several times, I could see him looking at me, just by me looking at Ms Rocket.

Cool (or ah.. crap)- The lady in the back far left wearing the glasses /dark hair/ in red/ with her hand near her face-

Looks just like the person who cuts my hair. She is a patient of mine, and she is remarkable in that she cares for a quadriplegic in much of her free time.

I swear that's her. I think. But what's she doing in a different state?


I'd better go figure it out because if I don't say something I'm going to hear about it next week!
:)

had I been there, I would have used the "ask the audience" feature from others at my table.

Do you look like someone famous?

I have a friend who looks like Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. It’s funny being in public with him. People sneak pictures from across the room or tell him how much they loved such and such song or album.
