I grabbed coffee at a shop I frequent regularly, where I know the barista, though we’ve never had more than surface-level conversations and have no conflicts or issues. Today, as I was leaving and it was just the two of us in the shop, he said, “Bye, (my name).” When I turned around to say goodbye, he gave me an intense/death stare and maintained eye contact as I turned back around to leave. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but it felt creepy.
The next day, I bumped into a neighbor. I’ve also only had surface-level interactions with him and no conflicts between us. He, too, gave me the same intense/death stare and maintained eye contact.
Ladies, do you think maintaining intense eye contact/death stare like this is a sign that someone could be dangerous? I’m not saying they will harm me, but it’s a red flag that they could be dangerous?

yes… I would be so creeped out. I personally wouldn’t go back to that coffee shop again, and I’d avoid the neighbour. Jsut feom the last post, because of how much misogyny is rampant currently online. Women need to be extra careful with their safety. Fr. Males are unhinged and dangerous. We should all take extra caution whilst being around them.
I get the predator stare.. Like if it was legal to abduct and rape me they would in a heartbeat.
Sociopaths and psychopaths lack boundaries so they tend to stare without getting uncomfortable. So yeah, avoid men who stare.
Last year I've also been having a lot of weird either: interactions with the men there or like you mention- those weird gestures too. I typically go by myself either starbucks or dunkin and on a few occasions there was either a man trying to get my attention and getting loud even though I just go in to get a quick coffee or one of the customer guy there was like targetting me with their weird conversation. Dunno if it was happening to other women so this is alarming to read that it's happening to you too.
Either we're so short on third places to hang out and sit down / do errands that those scrotes are invading the place too or they're purposely going there to target women cause the desireable good women to scrotes and LVM are being told on social media where to go find women. I see it all the time on IG that the quiet, good, 'wifey' type women are frequenting x or y place.
Its irritating.
