It happened again on the tube this morning yet I was in the middle of the carriage and this girl was down the other end yet I could still feel her eyes boring into me and when I looked up she quickly looked away, then it happened when another lady got on at the next stop ??! It really is starting to cheese me off now... Pls give your advice

I get these stares a lot, and thank God I'm not the only one. My mom says it because they're trying to figure out what color I am. You see, I have very multi-racial background, but I'm mostly black...I think. You know the whole world is very open-minded these days, maybe they're attracted to you, I get those too. It just happens. I know it's hard just try to be friendly, sometimes they'll tell you why they're staring.

Oh dear,
its just your perception, I think its something in the subconcious mind or may be its something related to your past or childhood.
In the subconcious mind some 'scripts' are written, which tend our behavior and overall attitude. These scripts are written in the very childhood stage.
You should consult some phsychatrist.

Maybe the dress that you are wearing attracts the person. Try to approach in nicely manner & ask why. Probarbaly you may get an answer.

It has been proven that certain people have visual qualities in their faces that appear in every single other type of facial structure. You could be one such person. That is why we "recognize" people we may never have met. She could very well be saying to herself "I know her from somewhere but I can't place her...". Try not to be so offended.

Just smile at them.
People are naturally curious about each other, especially when we see others from different cultural backgrounds.

I thik that maybe you are a pretty girl and they think "Wow, I would be that nice as her". Do you understand me? ;) Because maybe i complicated it heheh:) Women also staring at other women when they are pretty and it doesn't have to be jealousy...Ithink.

hahaha...that's funny, I feel that way too...whatever, there's really nothing you can do to prevent it, so just enjoy it I guess.
It could be a number of reasons including they think you're interesting looking.

Don't flatter yourself. Maybe you had a booger hanging from a nose hair.
