    I would say hello back, and try to think of something to extend the conversation.

    You say hello back and then state your name. Hopefully he/she tells you their name and you guys kick it off in splendid conversation.

    Well, I would say "Hi, how you doing?" and then to sex things up a little bit say "Where is your boy friend" and if she says "I don't have a boy friend", I will say in a joking tone "Why, did he dump you?" (For some reason that always seem add a few points with good looking girls, I never understand why, but for me, it work everytime.) 

    If she is married then, you say Hi and then you pretend your friend just call and start talking to your pretend friend on your cell phone and quickly walk away.

    I'll say hello back to this person with a how are you, I do this to everyone that greets me, no matter what the person looks like.

    That depends. If it's a dude then I'd pretend I didn't hear anything and start jogging the other way. If it's a girl, then I'd probably just be caught off guard and stutter like an idiot haha

    Smile...Maybe say "hello" or "hi" back, and wait to see if they have more to say.

    This is a fairly generalized question, but I'll reply with a few specifics if that's OK.  Being a woman, it would be important to know, WHERE I am at the moment that a total stranger approaches me to say, "Hello,"...and whether or not this stranger is a woman or a big, muscular man,  Are we at a social event with several people nearby or a dark and empty parking lot?  I'm friendly and personable, but not STUPID!!   "Attractive," or not, there are priorities!!

    The question is the root of attractiveness.  Is the definition of attractiveness an outward appearance?  Then again, it is a part of my persona to acknowledge anyone who speaks to me.

    There is a reason why I ask: I tend to look at specific things, like a smile, maybe a witty comment or insight.   Maybe this 'unknown attractive person' is looking for an individual who shares things deeper than superficiality and you happen to possess the quality.

    Prblmchild31posted 12 years ago

    I personally would say as a first instinct. Run....... If you can lol. If not like the others say. I would look and make sure he/she is directing the hello towards me first. Then politely say hello. But be on guard as to what his or her intentions are. Plus depends on where this situation happens. smile

    I would return, "Hello," and, if I feel comfortable, wait for an explanation of the greeting.

    RoyalPainposted 12 years ago

    I'd say 'hello' back. Unless you're on a prowl for a hook up and hoping to get picked up, I do not see any harm in finding out what the person wants.  Your next course of action will determined if you like his next question. smile

    I would just say hello, and if the convo happened to go down the wrong path, you could just politely end it.

    I'd smile and say "Hi, how are you?" I'm in a wonderful relationship of 8 1/2 years -- it doesn't matter how beautiful the person is, it won't throw me off track. smile

    i response accordingly, you don't have to be rude or cold to a stranger no matter your mood. just be nice as a first step you never can tell how far the follower can be of help to you later on in life.

    I will give the gentleman a good once over and change my body language immediately. I will turn closer to this attractive person and certainly smile when I reply "Hello", clearly and articulately.

    I love that first greeting!

    It all depends on how something is said. In Greece we say that words don't have bones but can break some if used unproperly. So, if an atractive person approaches me and kindly says "Hello", I would probably answer the same way back.

    I walk up to them and say hey mate how's it going. What can I do for you? But then that's just me. I'm a human who believes in fairness to all I see the whole person, not whether you have a fat head one leg or big nose.

    just tell him or her what you really do. Don't tell lie, just be honest since you will not know what she think until you put her/him to the test

    I would just be honest and polite with her or him. Therefore, he/she would know that I am respectful and considerate.

    I think it depends greatly on your perceived motivation of that person's intent in their behavior. If there seems to be an intent to deceive, manipulate, or scam, then it is best to make the encounter as short as possible which can be done in a number of ways. If the person seems genuinely interested in conversing with you

    I believe in synchronicity, so I would say "Hello, how are you doing?" to see what this interaction could bring. It actually happend to me last month and the guy really needed someone to talk to/ listen . I was able to give him some advice that he desperately needed. We actually spent two hours in the supermarket together (I had to switch all my frozen goods). I believe that I had answers he needed to hear and many were related the the book I was in the process of reading.

    I do the same thing that I do when an "unattractive" person (a person I don't myself find attractive?) approaches me and says hello. I smile and say hello back.
