Weird experience with women in playground

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 would be wary of her intentions. If her daughter runs off again and you feel the urge to follow her take your own daughter with you.

I'm really not sure maybe she didn't want to run after her and just leave her son sat there, but give the sons like 7month omahe could of easily gone after her well holding the son

How was she pushing the son to you at 7 months?. He wasn't walking

Her behaviour does sound odd but it's likely just social awkwardness or a mismatch in communication styles.

Fishermun · 14/06/2025 08:01

I worry more then I probs should but you hear so many crazy things

Sounds like she thought she knew you that’s all. I don’t know why you would think it wouldn’t be possible because she’s Polish? Can British and Polish people not be friends?

Just chalk it up to mistaken identity and have a think why you were reading too much in to a normal interaction. Do you tend to over analyse things? Do you prefer not to be social?

Fishermun · 14/06/2025 07:32

You know you didnt have to comment here right, you seem very bitter for some reason also do you think men are just desperate for women to like them, I couldn't careless if she was into me or not.

No

I think you are one minute posting about how unhappy you are with the girlfriend

and the next posting a thread about a woman you patently hope might be interested in you, and you were trying to getting a woman’s view whether this is how we might behave if we found someone attractive

Her been polish would mean there a better chance of me remembering her given i only know a handful, I dunno what it was about this interaction that seemed so off, I guess maybe to do with how she was with her own kids towards me like I should want to interact with them or something, iv been going to that playground a little over 2 years and never had this feeling of oddness with any other parent before

How many time do I need say i have no interest in the woman or any other woman before you stop with this nonsense, even tho im not happy with my current girlfriend of 6 years I still wouldnt be sizing some one up as a new partner, if I split from my GF it would be years before I even thought about dating again, I have a daughter and it would be very hard for me to trust someone new around her

She’s clearly mistook you for someone else or is an oddball. Stop worrying about it or trying to find explanations for her thought processes. Shrug it off. Sometimes people are weird or encounters are awkward. There doesn’t need to be any meaning or conspiracy behind it.

Im now 100% sure if I was a woman saying this about a man you would be saying I need phone the police, I feel so sorry for your partner or anyone who even knows you in RL

What, like having a child with a woman you appear to neither like nor respect, because you drifted into living together over Covid and had a contraceptive failure?

Only a man would think this interaction was remotely police worthy. Woman made you feel a little bit uncomfortable. Good grief.

Thats not so weird, lots of people end up in situations they didn't expect to be in and stay with the person due to having a child and feeling its the right thing to do, if she showed our daughter any love at all then id respect her alot more

Because the person i said it back to seems obsessed with me liking a woman I have no interest in and i believe her view is men are desperate and women are all angels who can't do any wrong

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

That's what I thought too. Otherwise it is odd.

Just a little understanding of would any of you behave like this and do you see it as normal because it felt off to me
