Ever had an unusual exchange with a stranger?

Hmmm. I guess I have had an "unusual exchange with a stranger." A few years ago I was speed-walking around the neighborhood and a guy pulled up to the curb in his car. He asked for directions and I slowed my pace and approached the car. He was wearing a plaid shirt and nothing else. :lol: I gave him the World's Biggest EyeRoll and walked around back to get his license number while he sped away. Some people are just too pathetic for words.


Pathetic indeed. Glad you got his plate #, hope you reported him to police.

I never approach drivers who ask for directions. Let them ask someone else.
 

I have met women, when I was simply out and about, and some of those meetings led to intimate encounters, that night, or shortly thereafter. Thing is, I never asked for a hug or made any move at getting physical, during those first meetings. I made small talk, sensed who was interested, and then handed out my business card, asking the lady to give me a call, if so inclined. My success rate was very high, but then I only gave out a card when the signs were there, beforehand. The grocery store encounters sound creepy to me, as well.

My approach was to wait for the girl to make the first move. Then I would freeze up and mumble vague one word responses. My success rate with this method was zero.

I did call the police. I have to wonder what people like that expect from their ridiculous shenanigans.
 

Oh for goodness sakes, Sunny. There you go AGAIN with the dementia diagnosis

The taxi driver I spoke of had no dementia, believe me. And there are lots of creeps and clueless men who do inappropriate things having nothing whatsoever to do with dementia.

I don't know why you're so hung up on dementia.

And your "sad little boy" comment is just plain silly.

Um, Applecrucher, you apparently thought I was talking to you. My "dementia" comment had nothing to do with you or your taxi driver, I was responding to the first post, about the complete stranger who asked for a hug at the door of the grocery store. I stand by my "diagnosis;" sounds a lot like dementia to me.

There is a man in my retirement community who suffers from Alzheimer's. He is married, and even while his wife is standing next to him, he can't keep his hands off any woman within arm's range. This kind of inappropriate sexual activity seems to go with the territory.

In any case, what are you so mad about? I wasn't even talking to you, and I don't remember ever offering a "dementia" comment before. Have you gotten me confused with someone else?
 
As I was about to walk into the grocery store last week, this man, I'd say early 60's, rather handsome, well-dressed was walkng out.
He say's, oh, let me get that door for you. (Ok, ha ha, automatic doors, made me laugh)...
But then he starts stepping back in the store and says can I ask you a question?....before I could say, what?....he says can I have a hug?
As I stood there a few seconds, he says, oh you don't give a stranger a hug?
He smiled and eventually walked out.
What do you think his take was?

Reverse the situation, have you ever asked a man who was a complete stranger for a hug? It seems odd to me that he asked. He was obviously attracted to you but there are better ways to get a woman's attention. I would have done the same as you, CindyLou.

Were you looking for a relationship or a short-term intimate encounter?
 
I'm female and I have never and would never approach a strange man and ask for a hug. Unimaginable. And I've seen some men in grocery stores so handsome they made my knees buckle. Still, would never occur to me to do such a thing.
 
Okay, ladies. Lets all use a little common sense. This didn't happen in a dark alley but in the front door of a grocery store. She was going out and he was coming in. He was being polite to let her out first and made a little joke. Big deal. What a world. She was cute; he was a man. Big surprise. That is my take on it.
 
Reminds me off a story.A man is watching another man on the street speaking to every lady passing by and each time he gets slapped. The guy is so curious that he approaches the fella and says "man, what are you saying to these women that gets you all the slaps". The guy says "I ask them to have sex with me" to which the curious guy says "Man, you must get slapped a lot". The man replies, "yes I do but I also get a lot of sex"!

Really? What would be his definition of sex? Perhaps he has a face slap fetish?
 
I recently went to my Dentist for a cleaning...I've been going to him for 40 years...I received a letter that he is retiring...He is 71 years old...I'm very sad....Anyway, while he was cleaning my teeth
he was talking about his retirement...(Of course I couldn't talk) LOL!!! The Dentist is a very gentle man and never had any problem....So when he was walking me out, I wished him well and shook his
hand, he intern gave me a hug....I smiled and wished him a great retirement and God Bless....As I was walking to my car I realized that was the only time in 40 years he hugged me....I think he is
a little sad that he won't see his patients anymore and decided to give me a hug....(I felt privileged)….
 
Wasn't it Babe Ruth who asked the Queen of England to "Pull my finger." (Years ago.) ?

"Pull .my finger"............Then he flatulates. A very loud and smelly occurrence.

Nobody is saying hugs should be outlawed or that nobody should ever hug anybody. Your dentist, who you have known for many years, hugging you because he's retiring is fine, and you had no objection to him doing so. A stranger asking a woman for a hug in a store or wherever is inappropriate and creepy.
 
Totally inappropriate. A close friend or family member - fine. These guys, however, are creepy at best and could potentially pose a hazard to you. Refuse quickly and firmly, put space between you and them, and if you still feel uncomfortable bring it to someone else's attention.
I agree 100%.
