Your on an escalator and a girl on the other side gives you the eye and a smile???

Darragh29

Has it ever happened to anyone that you're on an escalator or a travelator thingy and a girl on the one across from you going in the opposite direction locks eyes with ya and smiles at ye??? I know there's an ad on the TV where this happens a guy and a girl and they both go back to see if they can see the other person again, but has anyone actually done this??? Happened me today, this stunner coming towards me on the other side gives me a smile... I reckon you could meet your wife in a situation such as this!

projectmayhem

yes actually! happens a lot to me just walking on the street. rarely actually look back, but once or twice i have and they've looked back too.

...of course i'm too much of a wuss to go over and say anything. but it's nice to be acknowledged!

LadyJ

Happens a fair bit tbh,however,I always think that not doing anything about it makes the whole thing more romantic in a sense and the mystery of it all is quite......I dunno......nice,shall we say....

I mean,if you actually talked to the person it might spoil it because they might be a complete weirdo.

Or her boyfriend who is busy lifting your pocket.

or could be you fly is open.

Reminds me about driving on Los Angeles freeways. My flatmate, who is American, told me not to smile at a passing guy in the next lane, cause if I did, he might think I was interested in him and would try to engage in a chat from lane-to-lane at 70 MPH. This happened to her once, and she had a hard time shaking the guy.

Is this a James Blunt moment. Instead of being on a subway you’re on an elevator?????

Happens sometimes...... Probably looking at the snot hanging from your nose and then smiling while thinking, he dose not know he has a big green snot hanging out of his hairy noise, all the while your thinking... Man I would not kick her out of the sack from eating salt and vinegar crisps.....

sweet-rasmus

oh it happens, and not for silly embarassing reasons! but the question is always - what to do next?! always gets me - i'm way too shy.

Haha! Lol! I always check my fly and my nose for bungy snots after this happens! Feels nice when it does happen though, felt even nicer today when the girl was an absolute stunner! Myself, just wouldn't have the balls to even turn around, I'd probably just walk into a lamp post or sumthin! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Maybe I should take a leaf from Cisco on the thread next door in AH regarding Boomerang's! Hey, I'm trying to contact a girl (5'9 dark hair) who was throwin bambi eyes at me on the escalator in Liffey Valley Shopping Centre...!!! NOT!:p

exCrumlinBoyo

All’s ya can do in a situation like that is say how ya, how are things going? Its not hard just be nice and see what happens. Sure I met my wife in a bar, walked up ordered a pint, she was beside me and I said how ya and that was that and she is a stunner… I lucked out in the right place at the right time and I am by no means a ladies man at all. My point is by saying hello to someone you could end up 4000 miles away from home living in another country married with kids…

It’s a funny oll world all the same…

I'm with LadyJ on this one. It's nice to get a compliment, but there'll be other women, and you'll get to talk to them.

I can count the number of times I've seen a girl so intruiging that I've had to go and talk to them on one hand (but it's always been worth doing!)

It happens to me often, but only when I'm with my wife.

Related: If I'm ever in a shopping mall/centre and I've misplaced my wife, I just find the prettiest girl in the place and start talking to her. Guaranteed the wife will show up in 90 seconds flat.

Yeah and its also guaranteed security will be appear pretty soon after your wife. Stop harassing pretty girls in supermarkets buddy. It makes them nervous and its not cool.

so you found someone looking at you...
and rather than go and talk to the girl you ran to the nearest pc to tell the world...

congratulations.

escalators are also good for looking up skirts!

Talliesin

If you're walking past someone, and they strike you as attractive, you are at liberty to smile at them to acknowledge that you find them attractive (or smile back if they've smiled first) knowing that there's not likely to be any further contact. At this point it's just a nice thing.

However, when I am going about my daily business I do not want to have to shake off someone thinking I'm interested in pursuing things further just because I smiled at them.

Any time it happens to me, that's the first thing I think, or that I've spilt coffee on my shirt of something else. It amazing the amount of people you see/pass on the escalator in the London Underground.

Ha Ha Darragh129 your such a little pussy of a guy, get some balls strapped on.

I think she's just teasing you - you are going in opposite directions after all!

pbsuxok1znja4r

Lol, "travelator".

Tar.Aldarion

I use that term for them all teh time, I love it.

You need to walk ever so slightly behind her so you can scan ahead without detection. In extreme cases , the point-at-something-in-the-other-direction-while-you-get-an-eyeful ploy should be used.

In IRL

are u sure she was smiling at you????
i sometimes find myself walking with my buddy joking around + at the same time checking out girls.
and i'm sure there have been numerous occasions in the past where i was smiling the exact moment my buddy made a funny joke + made eye contact with a random stranger.

Pigman II

Fúck sake. So many desperate, people looking for signs where there are none.

I hope you all catch a shoe-lace in the escalator teeth and end up losing a leg.

Was it in dundrum? She could have just had a facelift ear-to-ear smile, was really 63 years old with 4 grandkids and has a part time job working for those life insurance ads on channel 4.
Just sayin like.

No never chased after a nice girl i saw looking at me, but I have had many situations where I actually hooked up with nice girls

didnt go off and make a thread about it though

whats the point of this thread OP, yes ive caught many girls checking me out and smiling, I think nearly everyone has, its not that big a deal, i'd even go as far as to say that a lot of the time they don't actually want to hook up with you in any shape or form there just having a bit of fun, that said how I hooked up with my girlfriend was similiar, saw her looking at me went up and started talking to her, turns out she wasnt looking at me but the fight happening across the road but we kept talking nonetheless

sonic juice

Maybe she was just in good spirits,just cos she smiles don't mean she wanna marry you-thats schizophrenic

pinkdaisy

yep havta say ive been guilty of that a few times. if i suddenly lock eyes with a pleasant looking guy and im in a happy mood, sometimes i just smile to see if he'll smile back....usually they look embarassed and like they havent a clue where to look, but the odd one will smile back!
