Smiling/Being Friendly When Passing (The Same) Stranger In The Street On A Regular Basis

It's not racist, all I see is two humans beings walking down the street.

 

[Jambo]

Pretty rude. You should probably bum him next time.

 

[PermaBanned]

You would be a terrible dog walker.

it's alright, the kids' actually saying "thats racecakes!"

Sounds fairly normal to me, I acknowlege neighbours, etc. if I pass them in the street but not total random people even if I pass them several times a week.

If you say hi, then it will eventually get awkward feeling like you have to say hello to that stranger all the time lol.

If it's a neighbour(ish) then strike up a conversation

i like to wink n pout my lips too

 

[Something Else]

flop your wang out? thats probably the best advice, you two could end up together and it could be a beautiful relationship?

i work in a shop which is a 1 min walk from my house so unfortunatly all my neighbours (even the ones i do not know or remember from work) all smile and say hello and i have no idea who most are but i wave and say hello back anyway.

+1

its nice to be nice

But if you start saying hello, you will have to keep it up forever

OP, when you watch Rainman is there anything in particular which you identify with?

I had a awkward moment when I was walking my dog, past a fellow dog walker and wanted to say something with slightly more content than a simple hello - showing some companionship.

So I said "not a bad day for it?"

Never again, now its just hello every time.

Actually it was more of a exclamation not a question and it was overcast, cringe.

No I suck at math.

Well, if you're not going to bite then I'm not playing either.

I am not a idiot savant, I lack social skills.

I love they way it is here in DK, in that it's the exact opposite to the UK. I relish walking down the street here in my new home town, people are so friendly, I'd be ashamed if I didn't acknowledge, say hej, stop, chat for a bit, help someone out, go out of my way for a stranger etc. it's a far cry from the 35 years I lived in the uk upto this point in my life. I've lived here 5 years now and have changed from being an introvert Londoner, staring at the floor, purposely avoiding eye contact from strangers, making my way from a to b, to how I am now, where I'll leave earlier because I know it might take me extra time to get to point b on account that I might get sidetracked by something or someone interesting.

avoiding black guys ?


it totally depends what sort of mood im in to how i acknowledge strangers. sometimes id be head down earphones in. most times they'd get a head nod or a smile. good mood and a greeting may be spoken
