    Just say hello back and introduce yourself. I have said hello to strangers before and met some really nice people and I have also met some very rude people that roll their eyes and walk off.

    To be honest I am very sick of rude people.

    If i walk into a grocery store and on my way in there is someone coming out and if we make eye content I always try and say hello and if its a nice day i will even say my its a nice day out isn't it. They will normally answer back yes it is as we pass each other.

    I will say hello and say let me get that for you and open the door for them. But sometimes i am surprised because they will turn down a simple gesture or kindness.

    Just because someone says hello that does not mean they want to date or get to know you. Maybe they are just being nice or friendly.

    Well this happens ALLLLL the time smile So here is what I do:

    As she is about to say "hello" I slowly place my finger over her lips and "shhhhhhhh" her.. then I slide my hand around to the back of her neck and pull her a little closer. I lean in as if i was going to kiss her but instead I go straight to her ear and then I whisper, " ...." Well, to know what I say, you will just have to come up and say "hello" to me!!

    Say Hello back... they are obviously interested in you... don't be afraid to chat up... Most of the time people are so into their own worlds, they miss up opportunities to meet other people.

    This is funny.  Say "hello" back.  If you are interested in them, try and start a conversation.  Maybe ask, "how is your day going?"

    This is an easy one to answer, I smile nervously and say "Hello" right back to them and wait to see what happens next.

    well . the first thing I would like to check would be me , myself.
    Obviously , if the guy seems to be attractive, I would like to present myself smartly and confidently .
    If I am up to date, I will extend the conversation. But, if I am not looking good , then i'd like to get off with him as soon as possible!
    Well, I wouldn't like to make a fool of myself in front of an attractive man.......
    Sometimes looks do matter......They help to boost your self confidence!

    I smile and say hello, there is nothing threatening about saying hello smile If they want something they will tell me. If it's something I can help with I will. If not, I let them know in the nicest way possible. If that's not good enough I excuse myself and leave.

    Say something remarkable and unexpected in return.  Like... "Oh my God, there's a meteor headed straight for us!" Then point behind them and when they turn around, run...  Run fast and never look back.   ...  Close one!

    Respond immediately in a positive manner.  The person doesn't have to be a beauty, to me attractive is a person who thinks well enough of themselves to look their best.  The way we look is important.

    Say hello back and big deal... attractiveness to me at this point means NOTHING.. I know way way to much to ever be smitten with attractiveness, because you know NOTHING about that person other than they might look pleasing at that moment and that is ALL you know.

    If attracted back that is fine even if they flirt still big deal.. far as I am concerned I know nothing for a long ass time.. That is the truth of it, never be so smitten with looks that you need be nervous really, it's just looks and nothing more until it really IS more in every other way.

    It depends on what defines attractive. But if a woman that I find attractive approaches me which never happens and if it did I think she would be on drugs. I would be respectful and say hello may I help you? Things like this do not happen to me.

    I respond.................'hello'., how are you?..........'well, hello to yourself', fine day, rainy day, nice day............

    I speak to that person in return............it is not only the courteaous thing to do.........it is how conversations are born.

    Well who determines what is attractive and what isn't? Sometimes it really is the person who has brains and heart who are most attractive of all, so to judge someone based on either what others say or what is on the outside is wrong. So how about saying hello and getting to know them!

    I would say hello back.  Maybe ask how their day is and if I can help them with anything.  I guess it depends on what kind of hello we are talking.  If it is more hello I am interested in you, then I would just say hello as I would not be looking for any kind of relationship.  If it was just a friendly hello, then I would say hello and ask how they are doing.  It really depends and I can be kind of a wing it person.  I can say this is what I would say but I don't know exactly until the situation arises.

    To me, it does not matter how attractive somebody is on the outside, it matters what is inside.  But I am not looking for anything more then friends.  I say hello to many people in a day, at the store, on a walk and pretty much where I go.  Sometimes a friendly hello can brighten the day for somebody smile

    i would probably get to know the person. Not everyone is defined by their attractiveness or ugliness. You would be surprised at the beautiful people you would find in the most darkest of places. Social interactiveness is everything. So i would suggest getting to know a person could change that first impression or perception about someone that approaches you.

    Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

    I say hi. Usually, they will say something else, and then I know what they want (money, a hug, my bag).  Then I react to that.

    Attractive or not, I react to all strangers the same.  Never be intimidated by someones looks.

    sometimes, attractive persons talk to you because either they find you attractive too or they just need something from you. The least polite thing you can do is reply with a smile or a hi or hello too.  smile

    I say hello back, irrespective of intention. I may think otherwise, but I would atleasr be nice back. That is, unless I get a follow impression that the said attractive stranger has bad intentions, then I may avoid further, verbal and non-verbal encouragement of the individual.

    if you are not you make it clear early in the game smile

    Say "hello" back.  Then anything else would depend on the circumstances.  Maybe just two hello's passing is all it would be.
