What was this guy up to??

Question

I went to see a movie with my dad today. We were a bit early so my dad went to get some popcorn. While he was gone an older man (late forties) came into the theater and was scanning around for a seat. There was close to nobody else in the theater but the man came out of his way all the way up to the top and to a seat two down from me.

He was just getting ready to sit down when my dad came in and I waved him to where I was sitting. The man saw this and then moved to the end of the isle. The movie started and the man was shifting in his seat constantly. Almost exaggerating the movements to get people to look at him and he was starring at me. Not just looking over, I mean starring at me, not blinking or looking away. About half an hour in, the guy moves a few seats closer, then a bit later gets up, walks all the way down the cinema to the exit and all the way back up the other side to where my dad is sitting. He then sits about the same distance apart only this time he snaps his fingers constantly and keeps trying to get our attention, while the movie is playing!

He had me pretty shaken up. I didn't understand why he was so fixed on trying to get my attention. What was he doing?

Answer 1

he was probably just lonely and thought you were pretty

but im guessing you wont see him again, so dont worry about it

but if you do see him again, and he does something suspicious, or gets too close, call the cops, he sounds freaky.

Answer 2

He was trying to get your attention. Idk why. Lol.

Answer 3

What was your dad doing during all of this?  This guy was obviously up to no good.  I would have asked him "Can I ****ing help you?!"  This is a good reason to take some mace to the movies with you.
