Sorry. I meant strangers approaching you and showing an interest in you, especially at night, or when there aren't many people around. "Hey! I gotta talk to you for a second!....Don't stand way over there, I just wanna talk to you!...I guess you think you're too good to talk to me?...Nice bike, can I look at it?" And so on. They're testing you, trying to see if you'll do what they tell you to do.
