Thought I'd start a thread where people can tell about the time they were most blatantly hit on- let your stories be heard!

This was a big deal for me, as I am often oblivious to the advances of the fairer sex.

My girl recently moved to Cali (I'm in DC) to go to design school. For the first month or so, her mail was coming to my apt before she had the chance to change banks, etc. I took a couple of her paychecks to deposit in her account and told the teller (who happened to be quite the hottie) what I needed to do (and that my girlfriend had just moved to Cali). The teller asked if i had her account number, which I did, and gave me the paperwork to fill out. When I came back to turn it in she did the computer work and was waiting for the reciept. She looked at me and asked "So why didn't she take you with her?"

I kind of stood there, probably with a deer in the headlights look on my face, and managed to stammer out that she was going to school for about a year. She handed me the receipt, smiling, and said "Well I would have taken you with me."

I thanked her and hurried out of the bank- I could feel my face burning.

Anyways, it was crazy when it happened, I also got hit on by a deaf guy on the metro headed to my buddies place to party, he wrote "You're fuckin hot, I hope the ladies appreciate you" on a piece of paper and handed it to me.

Anybody else got some funny ones?

I often don't realise someone's just flirted with me until after the fact. I even remember my then-flatmate having to tell me that a bartender just flirted with me. Then I'll watch a T.V. show and see someone flirt in a way that I wouldn't get if it happened to me and it'll seem damn obvious.

The one time that it was somewhat obvious to me that I was the subject of someone making a move on me was when I'd just read an article where one of the points was that someone touching you (like "accidentally" touching your leg or something) can be a sign they're into you, so when this guy touched my leg, I had a pretty good idea that he was interested. Let's just say he was. :D

haha- way to put reading to good use! I know the what you're talking about with your friends being like- dude she was hardcore into you, and i'm like- what? oh? I thought she really wanted to know what time it was... dammit

Yep, its happened to me, women have flirted with me but i dont realise she's flirting with me and think she is just being friendly as some of them have been very attractive and i dont think i would stand a chance with them.:headbang:

Some girl just randomly came and sat on my lap and said hi

i've generally had pretty piss-poor self esteem, thinking that no woman would ever be interested in me... so i can't recall ever having been hit on at all. maybe it happened and i just didn't see it.
i think i might have been flirted with by a friend of mine at uni, but again i thought she was just being friendly.

women: be more obvious!

But, but... we are obvious! It's not our fault you guys are so thick. :p

be more obvious with respect to your average blockhead/man's point of view then :D

which means an increasing of obviousness by at least fourfold... if my calculations are correct ;)


damn i'm glad i'm going out with a girl who describes herself as "blunt" :p
edit: i mean, seriously... i was really good friends with a girl i shared pretty much all my classes with at college, and apparently she fancied me for about 3 or 4 years... did i ever catch a whiff of that? hell no. i repeat: sublety does not work :headbang:
glad things didn't work out with her though cos that could have meant i'd have never met amy :-)

Subtley works on the wrong kind of guy. I've been there too tho- a chick back in hs used to eat lunch with me everyday... i never knew she liked me till about a year later when her friend asked why i had never dated her. I was DUMBfounded.

I also agree with your last statemen;) I'm glad those subtle girls never got through

it scares me :p

Fourfold? That's more than an understatement, seeing how we've already
learned to up our obviousness considerably when dealing with the average blockhead/man. :D

Well... to be honest, it never happened at all before. In RL I mean. I seem to come across a lot better online. Might have a lot to do with the fact that people can't see my face here. :D

this is from high school, before i was deflowered. don't laugh too hard.

Me, two friends of mine, and a Brazilian exchange student (female) were sitting in a booth at the local Country Kitchen restaurant.

i was sitting directly across from the Brazilian.

I'm eating my apple pie when all of a sudden she sticks her foot in my crotch... right in the cockandballs area.

i had met her that day.

i'm sitting there loving it, of course, but controlling my facial movements was somewhat difficult and my two pals picked up on it quickly. lol at that memory.

then there were the college fraternity years

the probability of scoring at one of the parties at our (rather small... not a huge fraternity) place were fairly high, if we were interested. I got hit on a whole lot at such parties, and lol all i'd do is stand there and drink my beer.

"Get more wop, i'll see you in two hours or so..."

hehe

post-graduate years: the bar/pub years

i have kissed some women at bars but i'm not too much into PDA (public display of affection), so these are more or less "hey, nice to meet you" kisses.

and i'm not one to hit on a woman... unless i'm plastered. So in most cases, the kiss (and grab that precedes it) has been initiated by the female.

seriously, stop being so like me
it scares me :p

Both of you stop copycatting me...

When I was younger I was totally clueless whenever a girl would hit on me. Now, looking back, I can see those times so clearly. Usually I mentally kick my own ass. :D

i hear that.

and now i feel badly for those girls... they might have thought i didn't like them.

when the truth is, i hadn't yet learned how to pick up the signs (and honestly, can a guy every really know all of the woman's wiles? regardless, these were obvious passes... then again, hindsight -- combined with experience -- is 20/20 or nearly so).

This has got to be my all time favorite feeble attempt at a pick up line. So my friend was out at a party and this guy (who is EXTREMELY CREEPY, by the way) comes up and asks, "Do you have a phone?" My friend replies pretty much with a dumbfounded wtf look. He proceeds to ask, "Can I have your number" my friend, "I'm sorry I'm WAAAY to sober for this." Sorry boys, but lines aint gonna cut it! haha

i just don't get hit on i think
i really don't know
if it happens i've never noticed it
but i'm a guy so..... :D

I was out at a rock club out one night a couple of years ago, and a friend of a friend had bought one of her friends along (got that? if not, read it again... there you go). This friend of a friend of a friend was hot with a capital 'jferijfeoifejfe'. That makes sense to me, as that is roughly the phoenetic sound of the noises my brain made when i saw her. She was petite yet sexy with jet black hair, what little clothes she was wearing were black and mainly see-thru, and she had red kiss-marks marks on the top of each breast. She was more tempting than a big pie, and i LOVE pie. Anyway...

I chatted to her for about ten seconds. I can't remember what i said, but i remember mis-hearing her say 'I'm from Hull, so i'll probably never see you again after tonight' as 'I live in halls (as in the uni accomodation) so i've never been here before tonight'. Needless to say, it didn't make sense to me until my friend translated the next day. It was only then that i realised her words, and her demeanour whilst talking to me, could possibly be conscrued as "Hello, I'm not looking for a serious relationship. On a related note, do you like my tits?". It wasn't such a blatant come-on, at least not in comparison to what she did a few minutes later while a bunch of us were dancing, which was to give me the most fuck-me eyes i've ever seen and to come over and bite my neck. Now, even though i'm almost definately one of these guys who is completely oblivious to flirting, i was pretty sure that what she just did meant that she fancied me. I say 'pretty' sure because, as unbelievable as it may seem, i wasn't entirely sure. I know, i know, i'm pathetic, and i don't deserve to have a penis.

Either way though, i got off with her and so we dirty-danced for a bit and had some fun. For about ten minutes. She went to get a drink and i never saw her again. Apparently she and her friends went home, where she apparently proceeded to get off with some girl (!) and crash, leaving the next day.

Obviousness is excellent. Still wonder whether i should have tried to take her home though. Meh. Probably wouldn't have happened anyway. Besides, i'm not the type (a few months in early 2005 notwisthstanding. I was on the rebound, it was perfectly OK :-p).

women: be more obvious!

That's my problem: the whole self-esteem/self worth issue. Also, I tend to make myself believe that most women are, like most guys, extremely shallow and never get past the "That guy looks creepy, I'll avoid him" stage.

When I was celebrating at a pub with some friends after our final school graduation exam, a guy working there actually fell in love with me on first sight :eek:. So of course he hit on me the whole night, but not in a tacky, off-putting way, and obviously I was flattered and he was really nice & fun. We pretty much ended up together that same night & it lasted for about three months or so, until it all went down in flames and he got checked into a psychiatric facility (not because of me, though!).

So, basically, the only guy to ever fall in love with me on first sight ended up in the closed ward. *sniff* :p

i just don't believe in love at first site
lust at first site yes
but not love

i just don't believe in love at first site

That said, the hopeless romantic in me is refusing to give up hope.

a woman who bites your neck either wants to screw... or is a vampire. In other words, she wanted you.

But, but... we are obvious! It's not our fault you guys are so thick. :p

If the overtness of your flirtation is a clear mismatch for the perceptiveness of your target, you can hardly claim yourself innocent of thickness, no?

i hear that.

and now i feel badly for those girls... they might have thought i didn't like them.

Sigh. So many missed opportunities. So little time to compensate! ;)

i just don't believe in love at first sight
lust at first sight yes
but not love
Agreed. [ spelling corrected ... or were you actually trying to say that you approve of lust in the first place you find it? ] :D

Aye i guessed that :p

Pure Metal has it:

women just need to be more obvious

it's easy to miss a wink or a lick of the lips... hehe

it's not easy to misjudge the thought process behind a grab of the buttocks or groin.

Aye i guessed that :p

...at which point -- head for the door, your car or a taxi or whatever can get you home quickly, and into bed.

Get straight to the point, eh? Hmm. Has merit. :D

But, but... we are obvious! It's not our fault you guys are so thick. :p
Be more obvious. Just come up to us and tell us that you like us. No man would say no to you, women on the other hand love rejecting us.

Don't they though? Once, just to try it out, I turned down a rather obvious offer by an extremely attractive young lady. I felt like killing myself! How DO women live with themselves? ;)

If the overtness of your flirtation is a clear mismatch for the perceptiveness of your target, you can hardly claim yourself innocent of thickness, no?
Well, if your target's perceptivness is rapidly approaching zero, there's not a whole you can do, is there now?
Of course, there's always this:women just need to be more obvious

it's easy to miss a wink or a lick of the lips... hehe

it's not easy to misjudge the thought process behind a grab of the buttocks or groin.
...which just has the little catch of branding us "the slut". Also (on an entirely too serious note ;)) I'd hate it if some random guy did that to me, so why would I do it to anybody?

And all quips about male non-perceptiveness aside, girls can be shy & nervous & looking for clues & misinterpreting those clues, too. So it's not like thisBe more obvious. Just come up to us and tell us that you like us. No man would say no to you, women on the other hand love rejecting us. would automatically come easy to us.
Oh, and no, we don't love rejecting you. Unless you're being a jerk, in which case you obviously deserve it. :p

Agreed. [ spelling corrected ... or were you actually trying to say that you approve of lust in the first place you find it? ] :D

*doh* that always happens me in typing, never in writing just typing :p

a woman who bites your neck either wants to screw... or is a vampire. In other words, she wanted you.

a friend of mine bit my chest and cheek on numerous occasions, but i am still sure she doesn't want me....
what do you people think?

Well, if your target's perceptivness is rapidly approaching zero, there's not a whole you can do, is there now?

The only reason I can think of that someone's perceptiveness would rapidly change would be from a sudden injury or symptom of illness.

Anyway, you could simply make a statement devoid of ambiguity. I don't know if that would count as flirting, but it would surely achieve the desired effect.

Its one thing to go up to smoeone you don't know and hit on them- when it comes to that, I couldn't care less what the ladies did, but when it comes to the girls that you already have a friendship with or know through a friend, they could be a little more forward. I don't want a chick grabbing my balls at the bar, but if I had eyes for a friend and didn't realize she had eyes for me, I'd hope she'd be willing to straight-up tell me...

On that note, I'm lucky to have the girl I've got now (DONT EVER RULE OUT DATING A COWORKER!!)

... and my mate, Rudolf, was at the bar (London Santacon 2005) ... I was kissing the face of some Santette (hair in pigtails - always :cool: ) and she grabbed my balls. Subtle :D

No one's ever flirted with me, and I'm content with that. Why? The effort to detect them is overwhelmingly overrated.

Ahhhhhh, hear you people complain about past advances that are now obvious...I wonder what I'm missing in day to day life...I just figure no ones intrested, and stick with my hermit ways....Then again, if there was anyone they could make it obvious now, what with the whole Sadie Hawkins dance thing....So I'm think no...don't have anything to add here.

Me and my ex-girlfriend hit it off by flirting shamelessly with eachother and hooking up. We started going out a week later. However, the most blatent flirting I have is my friend, Anna. She tends to grab my ass a lot and flirt with me...a LOT. I'm just waiting for a while, I enjoy seeing her frustration. So what if I'm cruel :p
