Poll: Have you ever been hit on by someone of the same sex?

[game-lover]

Nope. At least not that I recall. I'm pretty sure if I had been, I'd remember.

But then I'm not sure what flirting entails much how if I know how to do it so... it probably could have went right over my damn head.

 

[Ashhearth]

I've never been hit on by another guy as far as my knowledge goes but throughout high school I was thought to be gay on multiple occasions. The looks of horror when you tell them that you are quite straight is pretty amusing and at that point there is just a large amount of apologizing going on. Granted this was in high school so now that I'm in college I wouldn't be surprised if things were different but that remains to be seen.

 

[Yopaz]

Not that I am aware of... however I have been informed afterwards that someone has been checking me out or that someone's been flirting with me and I guess I could have missed it if a guy actually did hit on me. I have flirted with a few as a joke though. I'm straight, but nothing's wrong with some flirting as long as you know them well enough to not make it weird, right?

 

[fix-the-spade]

Yes, frequently.

I find it tremendously frustrating, if I was gay, I could get laid on a regular basis, but I'm not, not even a little bit. As it is not only am I somehow attractive to suspiciously well tanned men, I'm catastrophically bad with women, seemingly having a giant blinking light on my head that says Great Friend Material. It's irritating.

 

[stormeris]

I have never been hit on by anyone at all.


I'm just that ugly and socially awkward.

 

[Weaver]

Yes. The few times it's happened has just been kind of normal, made it clear I was straight and all that.

ONE time it was super weird. Everything below is true to the best of my memory:

New years eve, at a rave. Go to the bathroom, take a piss and go to wash my hands. There's this guy standing there by the sinks, small guy, young too; either drunk or on something. He says hi, I say hi back (raves around here are very friendly). He then proceeds, unsolicited, to talk about youtube. Well I like youtube, I mention I watch youtube a lot.

He then goes onto tell me he runs a youtube channel where he burns pixies and elf's. He likes tortuing them because it makes him really horny. Burning these fantasy creatures really turns him on, he says again. He slurred his channel name so I didn't quite catch it, tells me to watch it, then tells me how talking about it has got him turned on. He's kind of giving me "the look" if you know what I mean.

I think I basically said "Good luck with that" then got the hell out of there

Once when I was in my early 20's I think I was hit on by a guy...but didn't realize it at the time.

I was going to college and in this Theater arts class. We were all assigned another student to work with in order to do scenes from various movies etc. Me and the other student (can't remember his name) were assigned the Hamburger scene from Pulp Fiction. We got together to memorize our lines and practice them and did a few other scenes throughout the class.

Anyway after the class was over the guy asked me if I wanted to go on a trip with him. I had no gay-dar at all at that point and it didn't even cross my mind that he was hitting on me. I just said no thanks, I was busy etc. Thinking back though (which I did after a few years...it's been many years now)...I realized he was probably hitting on me.

Only time a guy hit on me though...or at least only time I ever eventually realized a guy was probably hitting on me.

Perhaps he just wanted to be friends....but there was something about the way he was asking even then that made me think there was more....which is why I later thought back about it and realized he was probably hitting on me.

I was so clueless about dating back then...girls or guys, I had no clue when anyone was hitting on me. I think back now to all the times girls where hitting on me in my late teens/early 20s and can't believe how clueless I was. I was a total idiot.

 

[Hazy]

Yes, and getting hit on by gay men is the greatest form of compliment.

 

[Rutskarn]

Yes, but I was literally in a gay bar at the time.

 

[4RM3D]

Have you ever been hit by someone of the same sex?
> Yes

Have you ever been hit on by someone of the same sex?
> No

One word can make all the difference in the world.

 

[LegendaryVKickr]

Nope. At least, not in reality, there was this one time on Chatroullette, but I don't think that counts.

But I wouldn't mind it. I certainly wouldn't be upset. I'd let him know he's not my type, but I'd be more than happy to have a sit down and chat with him or be friendly, as long as he's aware he's not gonna get anywhere past friendship.

 

[CriticalMiss]

I've only had women flirt with me 'seriously' when I've been in gay clubs and gay bars (which wasn't often), but most of my friends who are lesbikrons will jokingly flirt with each other and random women so it happens with some frequency but not in a serious way.

And I don't flirt with other women unless I know them and they know it isn't genuine.

 

[DkLnBr]

I am REALLY oblivious when it comes to flirting. They'd have to be sitting on my lap, stroking my cheek, and blatantly telling me that they liked me before I'd go "OH! so they're not just being nice!!!". However other people have told me that guys have checked me out before, I don't know if that counts. One example would be when my family went to San Fransisco, and my Dad mentioned that there was a couple guys who were checking me out (obviously I didn't notice)

 

[Zeldias]

I have been hit on by men three times. The most recent two were awful. Like, it was so bad I felt sad for the guys they'd go on to try to pick up after me. It made me reflect on hitting on people entirely, separate from gender or sexual orientation. It was just clumsy and awkward. I was cool about it, but damn.

The first guy was fucking cute, though. If I was gay, I would've given him the time of day. And he was pretty smooth about it all, too. The only thing, though, is that I was at a college having my transcripts sent to apply for doctoral programs and was teaching at a local community college. He looked young enough to be an undergraduate, and remarkably similar to a student I once taught. Not that I'm old (I was 25), but if he was a freshman, that'd make him 17/18, and I'm not sure that I'd wanna date someone that young.

That and the whole straight-with-a-girlfriend thing.

 

[II2]

Yep. Usually just take it as a compliment and brush em off gently, if they're polite about it.

Guy grabbed my ass outside a nightclub once, and I winded him with a punch to the sternum. He didn't want any more. Some acquaintances who knew the guy told me later I fractured one of his ribs. He may take more care in who he molests down the road.

 

[Tortilla the Hun]

Yes, more often than I would think. Although I do work within one of the largest gay communities of the area, so I suppose there's a large pool of men that may potentially find me attractive.

As a straight man, it does very little other than flatter me. It's always nice to hear when someone finds me attractive. ^^

 

[Grach]

I'm denser than lead when it comes to this things, so... Possibly?

 

[Seagoon]

But yeah, I've definitely been hit on by a guy before. Most notably when I was playing at a pub one night, a guy brought me a beer after watching me perform as - I assumed - a compliment of my music. It became pretty clear that he was chatting me up and think he got the idea after a while and gave up, but I still felt bad about accepting that beer - I didn't recognise the context but it still seemed a little immoral.
