Does this sound disturbing to you?

This may discourage someone who is not a real threat. But appearing unaware around a true predator makes you more accessible in his eyes. Predators are looking for prey. The less you look like prey, the better off you are.

I honestly would look him straight in the eye with a look of severe disapproval and ask what his problem was. If he's innocent, he'll just drive off disappointed. If he's a predator, hopefully he'll be discouraged and drive off. Listen: If the guy has half a brain he should know that a stranger stopping his car in the street to chat it up with a lady he doesn't know is going to cause concern to you. If wisdom escapes him on that point alone, he's a knucklehead.

We don't want to live in fear of people, but we also don't want to be a victim. There is a lot of information online on avoiding predators and safety tips. I hope you check it out, dear.

It's my automatic reaction because I have been attacked and have counseled others who have been attacked as well. I don't call protecting myself "fear", I call it "prevention."

I can understand awareness and heightened observation, but not fear. I have been attacked probably more than fifty times, and I never experienced fear in any of it. In fact, I have only experienced such a feeling twice in my life, and both times it was Spiritually connected.

It also helps to have friends like this.

I saw no fear in that video.

Honestly butterfly....if he just said "hi"...likely he meant no harm. If he started following you...yea I would call the Po Po on him! But in all honesty? In my forty two years of life...single mom since age 21...um...a guy saying a polite 'hi'...is a walk in the park...to what I have seen and heard creeps wanna do to me in public. Be very careful...definetly. Do u have a friend to walk with? The buddy system is awesome!

Be smart. Try to be prepared. But for Pete's sake resist letting yourself be fearful

I guess with all the information we solicited to you, you're the best judge of what is the right thing to do. I thought perhaps the reason you posted it in the first place was that something deeply concerned you about the situation. Nonetheless, I hope it was just some harmless incident.

I get this all the time after all I'm 6 ft blond, model like proportions - I wish lol.

No honestly I do get this all the time, I spent around 10 years playing the saxophone in the worship team in a church
with a congregation of around 1000.

I often get strangers coming up to say hello and i haven't a clue who they are, it turns out they have seen me
playing on the stage at church. oh the price of fame

Sorry to hear that.
.......but maybe the reason was because you had a mustache?
The power of the stache, ya know?

They can be intimidating, and deadly if grown out right.
