    How would you react? (OP)


    Assalamu Alaikum

    I need help with this assignment..like ASAP

    If you were walking down the hallway or sidewalk, and someone (specifically a female) maintained steady eye-contact, what would your initial reaction be?

    If other, please state so!

    real experiences may help as well..

    jazakum allahu khair in advance!

    fi aman allah
    w'salaam

    Re: How would you react?

    Well if it's a female I will look, smile, and say hi. Hey your doing dawah

    But if it's a guy, then cya later homie! I would choose the first option

    But if anyone says hi or passes a smile, i say hi or smile and walk away. This might b wrong but even guys who just pass a hi or a smile(to be nice) i do the same, but I cant look at em. I still stare down and walk away. One time tho I was sitting with no smile on my face and this guy passed by and said hello(at uni), some older guy. And he's like u should smile more, cuz he thought i was angry or something Lol. I was like wow...

    If it was an attractive girl looking at me...

    Lightbulb Re: How would you react?



    The poll is'nt about someone smiling or saying hello..its about someone staring at u...staring is different from a Gaze i think...
    I alhumdulillah keep my gaze low...meaning i dont checkout ppl around me.
    Staring on the other hand is kinda rude, but when i notice someone staring at me, i carefully check myself for if something is wrong, i should fix it.
    I talk to non-muslims eye to eye but when I am communicating with a muslim brother, I have a big smile on my face (just natural, maybe coz i love em so much for who they are)...but i cant talk to muslimahs...well mostly the conversation is very short since i have to run before they notice me blushing and then make fun of me later.
    is something wrong with my reactions? could u suggest any improvements in my behavior?

    Re: How would you react?

    I'd avert me gaze.
    It's freaky when people stare at me. And like Zara, I'll only notice if someone else points it out to me coz I'm usually starin at the ground to begin with.
    Plus it's in a corridor. I wouldn't notice anyway.
    Maybe in an empty theater before the lecture starts. But then again maybe not, I'll probably get my phone out and start playing some random game.

    That would be if it were a sister.

    If a brother, it'd be that plus shuriken practise.

    To me, a stare is a challenge. And I accept it regardless of the consequences.

    Re: How would you react?



    I'd have an internal conversation that would go something like this:

    Sensible Voice: Bro, I so wish I was married... Last thing I need is a Hijabi that looks like her (Masha'Allaah) staring at me... I gotta lower my gaze man! :blind:
    Not-so-Sensible Voice: Yeah, but that wouldn't help, you could get married again..maybe to her?
    Sensible Voice: yeah but the wifey would be w/ me at this moment and thus I wouldn't have a sister staring at me..so I wudnt dare even have that thought!
    Not-so-Sensible Voice: Forget second wife..what if Allaah decreed that she'll be your first?
    Sensible Voice: Eh? Na can't happen, she's just probably zoned out and has no idea where she's looking? :enough!: Why me though?! Fitnah man, Fitnah! :scared:
    Not-so-Sensible Voice: Yeah..but it could mean something more [:sunny:]
    Sensible Voice: Astaghfirullah, man are you trying to corrupt me?! :anger:

    *Lowers gaze and walks away slightly embarrassed*.

    Though all of that most probably won't happen..except the last part in asterisks.

    Sorry if my sense of humor (or lack of it) offends anyone. :X
