Weird experience with women in playground

[Fishermun]

She came over all smiles with her little son and daughter sitting pretty much right in front of me I was there with my 4 year old daughter who went off playing with her little girl, but the woman just kept looking at me every few second she spoke a few words to me here and there, her daughter ran out of the playground so I went and go her for the women and she was like thank you and said to her daughter look who went and got you look little girl was like hi, I just feel weird about the whole thing and I dont know why

I don't really understand what you are saying or what the issue is.
So you were in the playground with your child and another woman sat near you and smiled at you and made small talk while her daughter and your daughter were playing?
And her daughter ran out of the playground but you went and got her, and the woman thanked you?
Have I got this correct? What's the issue exactly?

Maybe she was trying to start a friendly conversation with you?

Goodness this poor woman misread you as being someone perhaps nice to stand with at school gate and have a chat with!

That won’t happen again, that’s for sure!

I don’t understand what actually happened.

She came over all smiles

friendly.

Unfortunately she didn’t realise that she was approaching a rather peculiar and insular person

She may have been lonely and trying to make friends?
perhaps not the best socially but had made up her mind to give it a try??
difficult to know really from your post, did you feel like she thought she knew you or something?

It just sounds like she was hoping for a bit of conversation with a fellow mum that's all. Fair enough if you didn't want to engage but I'm not sure there's anything for you to feel weird about?

Didn't sit near she sat her self right in front of me on one of the toys rides in the playground even tho there's plenty of benches around she also keep aiming her son at me and giving him little pushes towards me, I can't put my finger on it but something just left very off about it all its hard to explain, maybe shes just shy and a little lonely and super awkward I dunno

I'm a guy

Based on what you have written, it sounds like another mum with a similar aged child tried to make conversation with you while your children played together.
The daughter running out of the gate and you being the one to go after her does sound odd. Is that the part that you feel weird about?

Irrelevant

she was just starting up a chat at pick up time to kill the time

she got it wrong with you!

and I wonder whether you’re really asking us …. “Do you think she fancies me?”

no

Spot on.

He's responding to me referring to him as a 'fellow mum'. No need to be so rude.

Ok, your update does sound weird. Sitting opposite you on a piece of play equipment and nudging her child toward you is odd. I'd be giving her a wide berth in future.

I am the most anti social introvert going, and I hate it when strangers talk to me, but even I can see she was just trying to be friendly.

What was it that made you feel uncomfortable about it?

Cross posted with your update. Yes, the nudging is odd.

No you fruitcake! You have misunderstood 😆

I am saying it is irrelevant the Op clarifying his sex. All out points still stand

Do you perhaps look like someone famous? Or maybe she thought she recognised you from somewhere else?

Um yeah. I don't think it's me that's the fruitcake or misunderstanding.

The op quoted my post where I refer to him as a 'fellow mum'. That's the convention here when you are replying to a specific post. He was replying specifically to me calling him a mum not making a general point about being a guy.

I go to that playground with my daughter 4 or 5 times a week and speak to alot of people, I really can't explain properly why it felt so weird, because if I could then id probably understand why

She was clearly not going to go after the child and she was getting pretty far away and her mom just kept looking at me then back at her daughter so I felt like we'll guess il need go get her

Op are you asking if we think she fancies you?

Just relax

I guess maybe shes seen me before cant say I recognised her tho but im there alot with my daughter, she is Polish i believe and im almost 100% sure her kids dont go to my daughters nursery

She sounds like she was kind of hoping you'd watch her kids for her with your update...letting her daughter run off and waiting for you to chase after her and nudging her son towards you.

Very strange. But as this thread illustrates, there are some odd folk around!

No because how could you even tel that without you been there
