When someone winks at you, is it patronising or are they fond of you in some way?

This is random and maybe a stupid question, but on an occasion when someone winks at me, I don’t know what to make of it. The conversations I’ve had where I’ve been winked at I didn’t do anything particularly amazing, in fact I think was probably a bit awkward, which is why I’m a bit baffled.

  • It has many meanings, depending on context. The best thing if it bothers you might be to ask, 'sorry, what was that?' or somesuch. If they look puzzled, you can make out you got distracted and wanted to know what the wink was about. [There's no harm in a little white lie, if it makes you more comfortable to know rather than to let it pass].
