Stranger danger. Scream rape, pepper spray to the face, knee to the groin.

No but, I'm pretty nice to everyone. Online or off I enjoy talking to people. I'm not usually the one to start a conversation but if they want to talk, I'm up for it.

I have a lot of anxieties so you can imagine how it goes with strangers.

I presume they're homeless or want my money in some way.

If s/he talks to me in a normal way, I respond normally ofc. Especially if the stranger is an old lady. I'm exceptionally nice with old ladies >40 yo.

In real life, I don't mind. I like talking to new people. :) And as long as they don't introduce themselves like Becky in your comments, then it's all goods. I'm more then happy to talk on MAL!! :)

In real life I'm kinda nervous when strangers initiate conversation. I don't really mind online though.

I would probably put on a fake personality and be hospitable as possible.

Nothing wrong with that, honestly. Making other people comfortable even when it doesn't feel like "you" is not a bad thing.

If they're polite, then they will get a polite response.

Online it depends, I respond either serious or sarcastically.

In real life I try to be polite, although people barely speak with me in public.

It depends on what the topic is. If they are asking for directions, I simply give directions.

Now there was one occurrence where some guy came to me at a gas station and asked if I could give him a ride to Point B from Point A. He even included that he just got out of prison. Part of me wanted to help him, since shit...he just got out of prison. But I turned him down since I didn't have a car with me.

I am hopeful that some beautiful woman (maybe even 2) will come to me and ask me to accompany them to some party or whatever because they "really want me to be there". That would be nice.

Irl - I'll get nervous, wanting to run away asap.

Online - I will get interested, reply, and have a conversation/discussion about anything, coz why not.

Way better in real life interacting than online. I have literally zero patience with people on the internet, I'm the complete opposite inrl and I almost enjoy talking to strangers.

Pray I'm the dude you ask for directions.

I'm paranoid and I too wouldn't trust people who start out like that. I just get away from them. But if it's a stranger that just starts out with a nice, simple "Hello, how are you" stuff like that then I can talk to them.

I answer as kindly as possible but when strange men begin to carry on convos more than necessary, I walk away and politely dismiss them.

I really do not mind conversations coming up with strangers, as long as all is appropriate, of course (like subject matter and situation). I like talking with people, both in public and online.

This pretty much. But strangers on the streets rarely start talking to me.

Where I live people just mind their business and add to the fact that I don't know Cantonese, so it gets a bit awkward when someone unexpectedly ask me a question on the streets.

Depends honestly. As long as they're nice to me, I'm nice to them. I'm oddly friendly towards strangers, but if they start to weird me out or make me feel uncomfortable, I make it obvious or try to leave.
