I would go bright red and look behind me to see who they were actually talking to.
Then when I realize that they are talking to me, I would say in a high pitched squeal , 'i'm sorrry, bud are what tooking toy ma ?'in the way that Cliff Clavin used to whenever he was approached by women in Cheers.
the safest and best thing to do is not assume anything about the person just say hi and keep your inquiring poker face on this will make the person talk and spill watever reason for approaching you because if you dont and the person is observant he/she will know you are interested in hearing what he wants to say and then they get more confidence.just stay cool and when you know the persons intentions,you can be frience or just pass it as a waste of breath
well, you say hello back, of course. then wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth.
If I feel safe, I will stare at them with a demanding look waiting to see if they have anything new and witty to say. The idea is whether they will make me feel good.
People say hello to people they dont know all the time.Just say hello and if she dosent say anything else just walk away.
I would at least say hello. I'm a very social person, so this might be a friendship in the making. It would depend on how awkward the conversation got after "hello".
When this happened to me, I just stared at him and waited for him to talk. When I realized he was talking nonsense, I ignored him and went away.
Ummm..what do I do?
What do I do as far as what?
Wait...Im sorry..have we met before?
If not, then how can I assist you without telling you all my personal info..
Great way to start a conversation..smh..
I will also say Hello with the beautiful smile and help him how much I can
If its a nice "Hello" then say Hi.
But if its a mean "Hello" as if youy overstepped your bounds somehow just apologize.
say "hello" back It shouldn't matter what he or she looks like.
It depends on the tone of voice and body language that compliments the greeting.
response him/her back in the same kind way and ask him about his journey...
I say "hello" back, and react the same way as I would with any other person..I keep it moving, always.
First i will thing that he is confused. But if he is knowing me and saying me hello then i will welcome him and asked him, what he need to me.
hi

I'd smile and politely say "Hi." I will then proceed with what I'm doing.
I respond with a greeting or I smile in return. I find it important to always respond in some way when someone is kind to you. If someone takes time to offer a greeting I feel it would be rude to ignore that person. Kindness deserves kindness.
I would say Hello back to the person, and probably give him or her a friendly smile!
strike up a conversation! i would love attractive men to come up to me and talk!
I will certainly respond back and ask him how can i help him that will be irrespective of attractive or unattractive person !
That depends on what state of mind i am, if i am tensed i may ignore & if i am in a casual mood i may respond with a smile.
Be natural, be cool and enjoy the ride! Well that's usually the plan, but whether I can stick to that is another matter. Just remember that you keep your eyes on their eyes, and no at their certain body parts...
I'd most probably want to say 'hi' back and chat about life. The human spirit is amazing so why not pass the timeof day and enjoy some good conversation. Live life with passion!
People, by and large, are dangerous. If someone approaches you they always have an ulterior motive. You must be on your guard against this. You must run if someone says hi and don't look back.
Serial killers often use the technique of approaching you and saying hi. But don't fall for it!
It would depend greatly on my current situation. If I'm single, and an attractive woman approaches and says hello, I would greet her warmly back. Everyone, attractive or not, most likely has some insecurities. Therefore, warmly engaging them in conversation rewards them for the risk they took in approaching you in the first place. The easiest way to talk to a beautiful woman, is to act as though you've known her for years. This familiarity will help put her at ease, and it shows confidence in yourself. Teasing her about something that is personal, but not too important (looks, age etc) works like a charm. Just be sure that you are smiling from your eyes while teasing her, that way she knows its playful. Most of all enjoy yourself. She's interested in you, show her who you are.
I'm sure, I wouldn't escape and, of course, I'd say "Hello". :-)
first thing you do is pretend to ignore them and wait for them to say hi again. Like you never really heard them. Then you know they really like you.
Next comment about the weather so you did not really listen to what they have to say. Then engage if they still keep coming.
someone i don't know
well i should say hello and step away
i will speck to him/her with kindness and politely....!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111
I would say, "Hi" or "Hey, how are you today?" The same I say to everyone else.
Who doesn't smile and say "hello" to someone that they are approaching?? Guess I just like to be friendly
The looks really do not matter, if he was friendly enough to say hello the least that I can do is say hello back. If he stays to chat, then that's when you decide whether he's worth talking with or not. If he doesn't chat with you then it is okay to walk away.
Automatically and politely reply, "Hello," while my higher reasoning functions shut down.
No one is immune to this, just say hi and enjoy their presence! Just kidding
well,at first definitely i will surprise and speechless and after a while i may say "hi".
I usually say "Hi!" backwards, in a cheerful way. It's my natural response to a greeting after having done numerous theatre exercises, and just being friendly in general.
People don't usually expect this, so if they are looking for money or something, responding in this way can catch them off guard. Doesn't stop them from trying, though.
I like helping people out, but I don't like being taken advantage of.
This happens periodically, so I say hello back and engage in conversation, despite if I am nervous or not. I had a gentleman walk into my store about a month ago and has been regularly asking me out ever since. He is from Nigeria, and has his master's degree and teaches at the college where I work on campus. I am still working on my associate's degree, he is way farther in life than I am. If you do not say hello back, you miss great opportunities.
I say hello to whoever greets me, attractive or not and unknown or known. If someone is willing to take a moment to say "hi" then I would be more than willing to respond in kind.
If someone unattractive and says hello, you ignore them and if you are close to your house then you go inside and lock the door, if you are in the street, walk away without saying anything, and next time try to carry a bottle of pepper spray.
Possible reasons:
1. Old acquaintance who've changed a lot?
2. Needing your help?
3. Wanting to be friends?
4. Interested with you?
or just maybe
5. With bad intentions?
Under any circumstances, there's no harm in being polite and say "Hi there" with a simple smile, emplying openness and being friendly. You might be surprised, it could be the start of good friendship or relationship.
However, have some reservations and don't loose your sense of being skeptical as our parents used to tell us "not to talk to strangers" (LOL ^^)
i'll say hi...and ask him/her if he/she needs help...and take note if he/she has good motives in approaching me...
I would also say hello...in great excitement,..in the same way when i meet an old intimate friend after long years..i hope dat he'l be surprised!!
I would simply say "hello", and then wait to hear what it is that person has to say in response. Chances are if a total stranger approaches you, they intend on engaging in further conversation, and the "hello" was nothing more than an ice breaker.
I'd look behind me..They couldn't possibly be acknowledging me...Could they?
