the staring game
i sometimes play this game when i’m bored. try it the next time you’re on a bus, train or just bumming around sipping your latte.
what you need for this game is a good people-watching place and your God-given pair of eyes. pick someone out in a crowd and stare and the person intently. focus and try your best to get the person to look in your general direction or look at you, silently. no gesturing and no talking. pretend you’ve got Jedi powers.
if the person does not turn to your general direction, single out another subject, then wash, rinse and repeat the above paragraph. the best part is when the person actually catches you staring at them. disclaimer: please don’t look too creepy or come on as a mass murderer, when you do this. don’t say i didn’t warn you.
when they catch you staring at them, a couple of things can happen.
a) basically they get uncomfortable and quickly avert their eyes and pretend they didn’t see you.
b) they may stare back until, either one gives up or till someone initiates the next level of ‘contact’
c) smile and wave AND/OR approach you - this is the next level of contact
d) walkover and give you a slap - usually if the ’starer’ is a guy and the ’staree’ is a lady. especially, if you were drolling while sizing up her cup size and what-not. please don’t do this blatantly, guys. discrete is good.
there are of course, grey areas in between like the boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife walking over and giving you a piece of their mind, for messing with their significant other. so try not to let it escalate this far. if you are unsure, then refer to the ‘don’t be creepy advice’.
it’s not exactly a fun game, but it keeps my occupied post your experience here.
well, something like this happened to me. this girl was staring at me with this weird look. everytime i turn to my left to talk to my friend, she will look. as if she wants to ask me a question. i cant take the stress of her looking at me and then whispering to her friend. it is as if there is a big question mark written on my forehead. later about 30 minutes of agony, i told my friend (loud enough for her to hear) that the girl had been starring at me for 30 minutes. then, with a lot of courage, the girl asked me whether i wanna go out with her or not, just the two of us. i was freaking out and i didnt know what to do, i tried to look at her with angry eyes but i cant, i cant turn down that pathetic looking eyes… and i had to agree to go out with her.
okok… that wasnt what happen, actually she asked me whether i am her sister’s friend. but then, the way she look at me is as if she is a homo or something that is really freaky. thank goodness it is nothing of that sort. and when i told her that i am not her sister’s friend, she stopped looking at me already…. thank heavens, i would be dumbfounded if she is really gay
krabby patty, i thought female liking the same sex should be labeled lesbians rather than gays. anywho, that was really a nice read at 8am in the morning. i had a good chuckle over it. i love these games, but sometimes it backfires. a bunch of buddies and i have started the ‘heeelooo’ movement. what happens is, we will all shout ‘heeeloooo’ to the person we have targeted. mostly, they give us a weird stare and pretend we don’t exist. however, on 2 occasions, our plan backfired. one was in our college lecture hall. a girl was in front about to start her presentation, but was waiting for the projector to warm-up. as luck had it, she glanced our way. so we shouted ‘heeeloooo’ and waved. she smiled back and wave causing my buddy to nearly fall off his chair.
the other incident happened near Summit USJ. i was driving my friend back home and we got caught in the usual crawl. i think it was Christmas Eve. we were side-by-side with a Perodua Kelisa packed with gals and they had their window down. so did we. the customary ‘heeelooo’ rang and we we’re pleasantly greeted by the whole car of gals. a little friendly banter continued before we had to part at an intersection. until today, i still wonder what happened to the bunch of girls in the WJT 2830 Kelisa. come to think of it, we were both invited to join some kind of party. ahaha.
i attribute this ‘games’ to being single and NBTD (nothing better to do). keep those stories coming.
haha… good way to get ppl to notice you. and kinda creepy isn’t it that you can actually subconsciously "feel" that u are being looked at. haha… why ar?
i attribute it to the much debated 6th sense. and i don’t mean the ‘i see dead people skillz’. it’s the sensitivity to supernatural things. so what does some one staring at your back translate to supernatural. well, my theory? the something in between sees you trying to contact that person and ‘helps’ you. hahaha. freaked out? so the other person gets the message and turns around. like wow! ok, time to take my pills now. sowiee
lol… i kinda agree that i think its somwehere along the "sixth sense" thing but its freaky indeed. im the type that cant stare for long at girls that i don’t know sooo it sucks!! and not like im gonna wink at you if i don’t know you. hehe…
do u use this STARE method to get any chicks dude? works like a gem?
erm…had a few close encounters. some girls smile back when they notice me paying attention to them, but i haven’t got the ballz to follow through. go me~ in my defence, they were pretty hot and i guess i was out of their league. haha. what a load of BS right. well, that’s just me.
i think it is better if you can write more.
