Escape can mean as little as swallowing your pride or
controlling your ego, taking your lady by the arm and
moving to a place where your company is appreciated. If you
are like me, have a little drink at home or go to a nice
restaurant thus avoiding the potential all together and
stopping you having to look over your shoulder every five
minutes to see who is staring at you. If you find this difficult,
if for some reason you are stuck in a particular place for the
evening and a guy gives you the evil eye, lift your hand up
and give the fellow a polite wave. The chances are that he
will think that he knows you from somewhere and feel
embarrassed that he has stared, he might even wave back.
Once you have made the wave do not hold eye contact, this
is often seen as a subliminal challenge.
