    Nah but for real if some random stranger at a bar overheard me saying I’m single and then came up to me and my friends like that I would be a little creeped out too.

    I wouldn’t be mean about it, but I definitely wouldn’t say yes.

      This is definitely one of those ‘creepy if ugly’ moments. If he was a handsome guy, it would be romantic and has almost definitely happened in a million Hallmark movies.

        Listening in on conversations is creepy, no matter how good-looking a person is.

        And that stuff happens in movies doesn’t mean it isn’t creepy in real-life.

          Not really. If you were discussing with somebody about some terminal illness you were raising money for and somebody approached and said: “Sorry, but I overheard what you said and I’d love to donate, if that’s okay” that would not be creepy in the slightest.

          There is a difference between ‘overhearing’ and ‘purposefully spying’

        It’s not so much creepy if ugly, so much as creepy if not confident.

        And the way to become confident in something is to do it a bunch of times.

        Lesson being, it’s okay if someone thinks you’re creepy. You’re just in the process of developing a new skill.
