  This is definitely one of those ‘creepy if ugly’ moments. If he was a handsome guy, it would be romantic and has almost definitely happened in a million Hallmark movies.

    Listening in on conversations is creepy, no matter how good-looking a person is.

    And that stuff happens in movies doesn’t mean it isn’t creepy in real-life.

      Not really. If you were discussing with somebody about some terminal illness you were raising money for and somebody approached and said: “Sorry, but I overheard what you said and I’d love to donate, if that’s okay” that would not be creepy in the slightest.

      There is a difference between ‘overhearing’ and ‘purposefully spying’

        Well, OP wasn’t donating money, was he?

        The scenario you brought up would be creepy too, but people tend to value money over the slight discomfort of creepiness.

    If he was handsome it would still be creepy

    Handsome/Ugly is in the eye of the person, remember. Just because one person found you not attractive, doesn’t mean they all do.

    Fuck Hallmark movies, Don make me vomit

      Of course everyone is entitled to have their own opinion of what is beautiful. But there are some pretty obvious statistical convergences.

    It’s not so much creepy if ugly, so much as creepy if not confident.

  Impossible. It’s the females!

  For sure and that’s alright. But at the same time pubs are called that because they are a public space, hence you usually don’t expect actual privacy and it’s what leads to moments of joy when things randomly fall into place. Could be creepy, could be magical. Anon gave it a try, failed his landing (asking a girl out was a bit much, he could have just offered a drink and joined in on the convo), but he shouldn’t feel so bad about it.
  It sucks that he doesn’t have mates he can laugh about it with though. That’s the real tragedy to me.

  Not even if I was a two headed Brad Pitt with the body of the strongest Chris?
