Generation Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I've been googling this topic and I've been reading mixed thoughts, from men and from women, so I thought hey why not just make my own thread and hear some more thoughts. What Does It Mean When A Woman Says Hi To you Randomly? Like Either You're Walking Or Standing At A Bus Stop and She Just Walks By And Says Hi, Is It Just Friendly Or Is She Hinting At Something Else? Would You Say Hi To Most Guys Or Only The Ones You're IntereSted In Or Attracted To? Not Sure Why Caps Are On....On My Phone Writing This........
happpybear Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 personally, i only say hi to a random strange man if he is smokin hot and im attracted. I have not done this very often at all, so when i do, there is a reason beyond just being friendly. but then, i live in a city where strangers don't really talk to one another, they keep their eyes on their phones and headphones on their ears, it is pretty standoffish where i live. Maybe other women are just being friendly or live in towns where people talk to one another.
pl3asehelp Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I think it just means she's friendly and nothing more.
GirlontheLam Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I tend to say hi if someone has been staring at me for a while. I am acknowledging that I noticed you are looking. Most people get a smile. It is pretty meaningless. If I wanted more, I'd say hi + a sentence. Plain hi is being polite or breaking that awkwardness..
abitbroken Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 If i pass someone on the street and we make eye contact, i say "hi" - or if we are the only ones on the whole sidewalk, its hard to look the other way and ignore the person. I say hi then also. It could mean there is attraction, or it could mean that she is just a normal human being with manners.
Moontiger Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Depends on a lot of factors. I grew up in the mid-west and its very common to stay "hi" to random people as you go about your day. People generally smile at each other and are friendly. Its not flirting its just how people in the mid-west act.
delicous Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Sometimes, it just being polite and friendly, other times it means they want to know you in a deeper way.....Like I said hi to this guy at work because I thought he was attractive, we ran into eachother again like minutes later and I said something silly, forget the exact sentence, but I think I said, stop stalking me, or quit following me...LOL....So yeah, we smile at eachother whenever we see eachother...I ran into him again when going to get water from the osmosis, and he said something like guess you didn't see me here...I apologized, smiled and laughed and walked away....I have actually been hopeing to run into him again, it would take some feelings off my ex...lol Other times, I just say hi to be polite......It might be pretty quiet and its polite to ackowlege someone else, I hate it when ppl are not social, especially around the work area... Why were you googling so much, did this happen to u and now ur trying to disipher? Us girls are not easy to figure out haha, but usually....if the vibe feels friendly and nothing else, thats wat it is, if the vibe feels like they may want more, they prob do!
MasterPo Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Someone being polite. Interestingly enough, when I get a "hi" from a woman it's usually nervous, body language says "run". Either I put off a bad vib or maybe natural born ugly. No matter, I like to square up on them and say in meaningful tone, "hi, how are you... good to see you!" then I move off to wherever I'm headed. Sometimes I'll look back and see them standing there staring. LOL Bother me? Nah. I got use to it.
delicous Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 Masterpo, i use to be like that and I am an attractive girl, im not butt ugly...I have pretty smile, nice ttethe, other things about me that spark mens interest, my butt is nice, boobs are nice, im skinny......... I started telling myself these things daily and realized if i just kept eye contact when smiling back or saying hi, it changed things for me.... Its easier to meet other people and engage in chit chat, im not as shy and reserved..... I am flirtatious tho, but under control..... Then my ex came back to me and now I am struggling with regaining that same confidence!
and so it goes Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 This happens to me sometimes, I always suspect she has mistaken me for someone else. Or sometimes girls are just in a good mood, it doesn't mean they want anything more than a "hi" back though....

LOL Nah, I say natural born butt ugly because I can and I know it isn't true, no matter what my mom says. I'm sorry you lost your flirtatious ways with your guy, maybe its a good thing or maybe its the indicator - as in when it comes back you are over him. One day, one hour, one week, one month.. just one at a time is how it went by for me. Obviously not in order.
Klokwurk Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I am a hot man and I say hi to everyone - I am just being polite, safe to say that is all a girl thinks too. Of course there is always the occassional introvert for whom saying hi to a stranger is a big freaking deal. Just take it in stride, if she is cute, might give you an opening to start a little chit chat.
Generation Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 In The City I'm From, Not A Lot OfPeopleSay Hi So It's Kinda Rare When It Happens. Usually I'm Caught OfF Guard When It Happens, Either Staring At My Phone Or Earphones In. It Happens TOo Quick For Me To Say Hi In Return So I Guess I Come accross As Cold. Not That I Really Think Them Saying Hi Means Anything, It Just Rarely Happens And So It Made Me Wonder Why They Would Even Say It. Personally, I Don't do This At All But If I WeRe To, I Think Id Be More Selective With Who I Said It To. then Again, I Do Smile At Everyone Who Smiles At me. (Don't Know Why My typing Looks So Messed Up)
delicous Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 One day, one hour, one week, one month.. just one at a time is how it went by for me. Obviously not in order. I like those words.....lol baby steps!! And i am sure you aren't butt ugly, u gotta stop telling urself that type of negative irrelevance!!!
mfan Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 What Does It Mean When A Woman Says Hi To you Randomly? If she's pretty, then I'd expect the next words to be "Would you be willing to sign this petition?" or "Would you be interested in opening an account with xyz company today?" or "Would you spare a few dollars so I can get something to eat?"
MasterPo Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I like those words.....lol baby steps!! And i am sure you aren't butt ugly, u gotta stop telling urself that type of negative irrelevance!!! LMAO. I know. Believe me I don't think that at all but it amuses me and I'd rather poke fun at myself rather than others. God help the person who thinks they can do it too.
