Is Footsie with a stranger taboo or inappropriate?

So Ladies (the older crowd I am looking for 35-50 range and up) Say you were sitting at the movies in pick whatever shoe of choice but barefoot and you could be with someone, or don't have to be and say some younger guy or possibly even girl sat down next to you and a little bit into the movie touches your foot with theirs...let's say the first time you blow it off as an accident but then it's apparent he/she wants to kind of get a game of footsie what do you do? If you are the type that normally plays with your shoes or possibly even footsie with a friend does this weird you out or would you still play? Do you see it as Taboo? If the person that is trying to play with you is attractive or you could even say friendly do you just figure what the heck and play? If you are with a significant other do you still play and not tell them because it's just footsie? Curious to know, thanks for the replies!!!

Update:

Ok let me have a rule...lol I appreciate everyone's answers and honesty and sadly enough there are some weirdos out there nowadays but to say that person would be a murderer or rapist...wow but again never know I suppose....BUT let's say both parties found the game to be exciting although taboo and maybe that person enjoyed footsie...also what is the difference if you play with your shoes but now have something that plays back with you? Again, just asking. I actually when I was out with my wife had a woman who was with her husband sit next to me and kind of place her feet right next to mine so it was almost impossible to not touch them and the few times I did she didn't get upset or seem to care...

    mmm.... NO, I don't believe I'd participate. That's icky! I'd have to switch seats with my husband, let him play footsie with him... if he dares!

    Forget about it being taboo I would say footsie with a stranger is bold and brazen! It is a lead into a less than G-rated activities. I think at the very least it depends on if both parties agree that playing footsie is something to do or not. And an attractive man doesn't make something right or appropriate!

    Its bold if you ask me.

    By the way I am 31 and happily married.

    No I do not play footsie with total strangers in movie theaters. I suppose it's not as creepy as if some guy sat beside me and started grouping my thigh, but it would still be an invasion and I would move to another seat.

    Playing footsie with a stranger is a no no.

    The only person i ever played footsie with was my wife.

    Repel this advance. Only a weirdo would initiate some kind of relationship this way, especially in the movies where proximity is the only characteristic that can be the attraction ( for either one of you ).

    I don't think you have a foot fetish I think it was more the thrill of getting caught. Kind of like the thrill an exibitionist has. On the other hand would like it if your boyfriend was doing that with a girl sitting next to him

    Wildly inappropriate. The footsie perpetrator might well be a pervert, rapist, or worse. I probably would change my seat and/or notify the usher.

    I would think that no one would do that. With all the creepy people nowdays, it would probably scare me!
