Is it normal that the kid was looking at me that way?

35% Normal

First let me tell about myself, this is my first post here. My names Oliver, I am from Vienna, Austria. I am 22 and a straight guy. The incident happened about two months ago. My older brother and I were driving, and the car was running out of gas. We stopped at a gas station. My brother had to go to toilet while the gas was being filled and so I sat on a bench reading the news paper. While doing so I looked to my left and saw a little boy, aged around 7 looking at me. I thought he probably was homeless as he was wearing a filthy torn cloth, but he wasnt asking for money. I felt uneasy and continued to read my news paper. I looked to my left again and saw that the boy was still looking at me. I got up and started moving and looked back and saw the boy was following me. I hurriedly got inside the car and locked the door and the boy stood beside the window still looking at me. Just then my brother returned and I gave a breath of relief as he started the car and I looked back and saw the boy was running after the car, then couldn't keep pace and stopped. I laughed a little, my brother asked what , I said nothing, I didnt tell him or anyone about that creepy boy. But now when ever I remember the look of that boy's face, I feel uneasy, and ask myself why was he looking at me like that? Was he gay? Did he need help? Does anyone here know?

Why do people randomly state that they are straight when it has nothing to do with the topic?

You must have lived a sheltered life. There are millions of 5,6.7.8. etc. year olds that are hungry or need recognition in one way or another. Next time, stop and talk to them. You may find out the world is a place that all of us can be kind to each other.

Are you certain he even existed? Could it be, now that you have stopped taking your meds, that you imagined the whole incident? I know there is a fine line between reality and imagination, when you aren't taking your meds.

If you so easily suspect that a 7-year-old kid was looking at you "that way," then maybe you're the one who needs help.

  Its just a suspicion, it would seriously creep me out if that really was the reason. But I dont know the real reason, and thats why I asked what might have been the real reason behind it. The most relieving reason may be that it was just a prank, but the way he was looking at me really creeps me out and you would have known what it is like if it were you whom he was looking at.

Why would a 7 year old give you a "look" like that? Is this why you felt the need to clarify your straightness?

Maybe, he did need help. Not mental help, but another type of help. Maybe, he thought that you were someone that he knew. What if this was your son from the future? In the future, when he looks at you, will you still think that he wants you in that way?

  You are joking right? If he knew me he would have known my brother too, but he didnt approach him. I clarified my straightness cause I didnt want people to think I fealt attracted to him in anyway, ewee!

    On whether he knew you or not, he could have been trying to make sure. If he knew you, why would have to know of your brother as well? You don't have to know someone personally in order to know them. It is possible to know of people without personally knowing them.
    
    I was joking *slightly* about the time travel bit.

    You shouldn't have to clarify that you're not attracted to little boys. The rest of your post easily told us that with how uneasy you sounded. Maybe the child was hungry and thought you could help him

Kid was probably waiting for his parents and just playing a game, "follow the weird guy"...

Nothing to worry about.
It's an omen foreshadowing your death in the near future, probably in a flaming car accident.

If you think the little boy was looking at you with lust in his eyes...then you are a sick puppy, and no, that's not normal. He was probably hungry for food, attention, basic needs, or maybe he thought you were the weird one. Who knows for sure. Maybe next time, ask him, "Where's your mum and dad? Do you need help?"

So it never occurred to you to talk to the creepy, hapless, little waif? You could have said something like, hey kid, is everything alright, do you need help?

Maybe he was a ghost.

If you got a creepy vibe from the boy, trust your gut.

    When he looked into and chased after the car, your brother never noticed him? If no one except you saw him, it is possible that the boy may have been a spirit.
