'so i sat down behind a couple on the buss today. when i sat down they stopped talking straight away. And the girl kinda looked behind her with her eyes. The guy kept looking at me even tho i never look at him once. I saw it in the side of my eyes.. After some time he slapped the girls leg and hold hes arm around her. then pulled her towards him. She dident like it since she just moved out of hes arms and away from him.. It felt awkward.. It felt like this guy got intimidated by me. Was really awkward even tho i never looked at any of them once. I just looked out of the window.. Cuz the guy kept looking at me.. So awkward.


What is this??

    he was asserting his alpha male status


    jk, probably just really insecure, or they were talking about something personal that they didnt want you to hear

    or were they the only other people on the bus when you sat directly behind them? i can see how that would come off as creepy

    Possibly a situation was going down that you just walked into and interrupted. Maybe he was trying to politely tell you that they needed a bit more privacy at that moment? You possibly just walked in on them having a small fight or something.

    I'm not trying to be offensive here but "intimidating" is just not a word I would use to describe you from looking at your profile pic.

    one thing i've learned during my many years on this planet is that 99% of the things i might at first think were about me (especially those involving strangers) weren't really about me at all.

    anyway, they were probably having some NSFP private conversation and you sitting behind them messed up the flow

    Homosexuality probably. It's more common than you think. Perhaps he liked you.

    Unless you hit her in the head with your wedding tackle in the process of sitting down, more than likely they were talking about something private.

    You mean: Why do guys think that people are looking at them and that the behavior of other people is because of their presence?

    Narcissism.

    They didn't notice you, didn't care you were around, and you didn't exist to them. Accept that this is the case with everyone else in the world other than yourself, and move on.

    Seems insecure. I would have sat right next to the girl and start a conversation just to troll.

    I must be reading this really differently because I imagine it like the couple is also very young, teens or 21 like the OP, and the guy is like "This is MY WOMAN" kinda attitude and being a weird jealous jerk and thinking that the OP is kind of a threat...like that his girl will find OP attractive and go sit with him...seriously that's what I picture, even though it's ridiculous. I don't see why else the guy would have acted the way he did and kept staring at OP.

    It's love, bro. It's love.

    Or,
    The man thought that you all met each other previous to this encounter and he was using eye contact to affirm his suspicions, or, pending reciprocation from you, to cue a friendly (unfriendly?) gesture.

    Or,

    That nice man didn't want you to feel guilty because you saw a pretty girl on the bus and was offering you his sincerest apologies, communicated via eye contact. He felt responsible because he suggested that they ride the bus in order to, "be the real-est" they can be, but really because he can no longer afford to fuel his vehicle.
