Poll: Um...Would this be creepy?

[chadachada123]

I'd be incredible suspicious, not cheeped out, just suspicious.
My first thought would be "some darn kids doing some darn dare again". And my opinion would just change from there depending on how things played out/

This would be my thoughts too. It'd be sketchy, but if the girl was truthfully serious, I'd find it seriously flattering.

But the odds of her being serious and not just acting on a dare are slim-to-none.

I'd roll with it just to see where it leads.

If an attractive woman did it, I would be a tad suspicious, but it wouldn't concern me too much.

If a guy did it, I would find it creepy, but if he acted nice enough, I might trade numbers.

 

[axlryder]

Depends. No matter who it was, it's suspicious. If it was a hot chick, even more suspicious. However, depending on how it played out, I might go along with it. I'd never get in their car/give them my info/go somewhere secluded with them, however.

 

[JediMB]

Well, that depends on if the person turns out to be a huge nerd or not.

If not, I'd find it highly suspicious. But if it's because the person noticed my Doctor Who shirt or something, that's fine.

Have we really gotten to the point where noticing someone interesting-looking and deciding to talk to them is considered creepy?

If it was a stranger, absolutely I'd be creeped out. A random woman suddenly pulling up to me, getting out, and spontaneously flirting/asking me out. Seems legit.

If they were someone I already knew I'd find it pretty awkward and quite rude as well. I sure as hell wouldn't accept. I don't know what I would do, probably just ask them to leave me alone.

I've been diagnosed with severe social phobia though so I'm probably not the best person to ask. But the way I see it nothing good can come of this.

 

[chaser5000]

Yes, it would be creepy. I did think about it once, I was driving down the road and saw this cute girl with pink hair walking down the road and I thought about pulling over, but then I thought about how creepy it would be and that my car is really shitty.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

If I have no previous connection to the person, I would just keep walking.

Considering the fact that this is about someone pulling their car over to flirt or converse, then I don't think it's that out-there for people to consider that creepy. Not everyone is social, some people have severe social phobias/problems. You can't just assume everyone is open to conversation just because you think they seem interesting. This is really only concerning the pulling the car over issue though.

If a dude is interested in talking to me because I wear videogame shirts that's totally fine and I will talk back if I'm not busy. It's really situational though. No one is obligated to engage in conversation with another person just because the OTHER thinks they are soulmates or thinks they are hot or what not.

Really though, I think it's just best NOT to pull your car over. But hey that's just coming from a girl that gets followed home by guys in their cars(them INCHING along on the side for bikers) yelling at me to "get in". Ignoring doesn't make them go away, telling them no doesn't make them go away. So now when cars pull over next to me I have panic attacks and end up running home crying. Doesn't matter the intent.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

And how is this different from people coming up to you in bars to flirt/ask you out? Y'know OP, people can find other people attractive outside of licenced premises.

[Mr Fixit]

Eh not exactly creepy, but still very odd. I'd be ok with I'll talk to just about anyone.

 

[Vkmies]

Yes.

I have never been a fan of just coming up and asking someone out just on the basis of "I like how you look": I feel as though the process should be far more organic and natural. But that's just me. Maybe I am a weirdo.

 

[kickyourass]

I'd probably be more uncomfortable and confused then anything else. That just sounds like it would be the most awkward and random situation. Chances are good I'd accept if it was a woman, but only after a few questions to make reasonably sure she hadn't gone psychotic or something.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

I don't know, if it was another woman my age, i'd find it hard to say no, even if it was a cougar just for boosness of doing it, I'd at least go on a first date.

 

[Slayer_2]

Gender and level of attraction are always part of the equation.

If it was an attractive woman, I'd be baffled but not creeped out. An un attractive man, both baffled and creeped out.

We can't help it. What people look like influences our opinion on their actions. Sucks, but true.

This. Just saying "gender has nothing to do with it" doesn't make it so.

 

[Seagoon]

I know I would be entirely flattered! It would almost certainly be odd, but the boost of self esteem would be most welcome!

 

[Arakasi]

When someone started talking to me in a shopping centre my immediate thought was that she was probably a serial killer.
So, in a word, yes.

 

[Andrew_C]

If you have to stop to ask, then yes, some people WILL find it creepy, and some will find it threatening.

 

[Ryotknife]

I would be suspicious. I mean, I have had conversations with random strangers out of the blue all of the time. One time I went for a walk and ended up talking to a stranger in front of his house for over a hour.

Now here is another question. Would you be creeped out if some random person started flirting with you over text message? That may or may not have happened to me, I am still unsure if it was a prank by my coworkers who give me a hard time because I am a Yankee.

 

[lacktheknack]

I'd be dumbstruck, and pretty creeped out. You stopped your car just to get out and flirt with me? WHY? How am I so attractive that you'd have to stop RIGHT THERE? You want something from me, don't you?

 

[Rose and Thorn]

If it was a male I would most likely keep walking.

If it wasn't a male, then I would be a little taken a back, but far too curious to flee.

I don't like, nor trust many men, especially strange ones.
