I'm not an ogre!

Alright, so I was inspired to write this after reading someone else's post. Maybe I've never noticed it before but I have never been hit on! After 21 years of breathing and over a year of being out...I have never been asked for my phone number or anything! It's never bothered me but now I feel like that's crazy cuz everyone gets hit on it seems! I mean, I don't think I'm a mutant or anything...is there anyone else who has never been hit on that they can recall?

I thought this was an interesting topic :]

Ok. Well so im new to this.

Ok. Well so im new to this. and having a blast my 1st nite in.

Ok. Im hitting on all of you. Now some of you feel better and some of you dont. ITs all about what we like.

And most women dont do the hunting. so it leaves alot of women not feeling attractive. Because some other girl out there has looked your way and thought.. damn she is cute. but im sure she wouldnt be interested in me and sticks to herself as well.

Life is a 50/50 If you not being hit on. Say hi to someone you like. I mean you really dont like them. you dont even know them as a person. You like what you see.

And thats the biggest problem i have seen in most women.

when i see a woman i like. I walk up to her. i say hello i find out right away how she responds. does she smile. does she sneer? really what its comes down to is im not asking for someone to marry me.

I want to see what kind of personality this chick has behind the pretty face. it all goes from there. You would be surprised.

But i love women and love people. I wasnt always this way. i was very shy at a point in my life. now life is to short to be shy.

Hello all you sexy ladies. i hope you are having a wonderful time..

;)

I don't think I've ever been

I don't think I've ever been hit on... but I'm also rather clueless. Was she hitting on me, or was it merely some cute, silly, meaningless banter? I truly cannot tell...

I'm also not one to hit on a girl that I like. I tend to get really nervous and end up fumbling my way through a conversation. I just can't flirt; it's not pretty...

Definitely a thread in demand...

...I can sympathize, or empathize rather. I don't get hit on, get numbers, by either guys or gals...and it does not help having all of one's circle of friends be ensconsed in relationships.

I'm sure we're all fantastic but as fellow poster said, "it's not you, it's them..."

Let us all meet people as hot, smart, and hilarious as us!

Same Here

I never get hit on either, and every time I like someone.. they either don't like me.. or they are taken.. or they want to have a boyfriend and date me at the same time.. or all 3.. so you're not the only one.. hang in there.

Try living in a small town

Try living in a small town in France where no one accept homosexuality(not as in California,i think)and you'll know that you're not alone!Maybe we're doomed?Maybe life is cool for some people and is a bitch for others.
Anyway,i think there's many people in your situation ,gay or straight.

Maybe you have the

Maybe you have the "unavailable" label over your head? I mean, without noticing, you may be giving the impression that you are closed to yourself etc.

A girl has never asked for

A girl has never asked for my number or anything?... I've never been hit on in person by a girl unfortunately.. dammit! lol.. Don't beat yourself up about it though I guess.. There are maaany ppl in your shoes too :) one day it'll happen.. Then we'll say something stupid and screw it up anyways haha

really?!v :p

hahaha.. so whats your number? ;P.. kiddin'

Wow, this made me chuckle. I

Wow, this made me chuckle. I am sure asking for a number is pretty hard. =P I mean, it takes a lot of courage to walk up to a random person and ask them...

So whats your number? ;D

Though I was thonly one.

I have never been hit on that I know of. I'm really shy and @ 26 still havn't quit figured out what to do about it. I'm getting better but not soon enough for me.

Oh yeah, I can relate

My situation is a bit different, but yes, it is a rare event indeed when I get hit on. At 46, I've pretty much given up. I've also stopped "hitting on" others, since I'm usually either laughed at or told my favorite line "you're nice but..."

When I do get hit on, it's either by a married woman, one who has serious mental health issues, or both. That trend has been so prolonged and consistent that I no longer date anyone.

If I were straight, I would have my pick of any man I wanted. I have a good job with a decent income, am fairly attractive, look much younger than I actually am (when I keep up with the hair color, lol), am very intelligent, well educated, etc. Yet not one woman who is single and mentally stable will give me a second look, let alone have a beer with me or give me her number.

Welcome to living in Southern California, where everything is a beauty contest, relationships are disposable on a whim, and life is expected to be like what we see on television or in the movies. Trust me, it isn't you, it's them.

Illegitimi non carborundum

I think you sound wonderful!

I think you sound wonderful! Now THOSE are the type of qualities I look for! If the age difference between us wasn't so great, I would ask you out. Hang in there. There must be other women out there who value the same things you and I do. I understand where you're coming from, because I live in the bay area, where most of the girls have had lots of plastic surgery and all look exactly alike. Anyway, kudos to you for being true to who you are! xoxo.

I haven't been hit on that I

I haven't been hit on that I recall. I feel as if there is something wrong with me. Like, I'm untouchable? Or maybe just extremely gross looking?

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Don't worry

You are NOT gross looking. I even checked out your photos to make sure. :)

Lol, thanks. I guess maybe

Lol, thanks. I guess maybe I need to work on how I see myself, rather then worry about how others see me.

I think that may be a good idea. :)

I use to be in your shoes.

I use to be in your shoes. This may not be your case, but I use to be very self conscious and withdrawn and that's what I projected to the world. People saw me as either skittish or stuck-up. Yeah, it helps to look well-groomed and well-coordinated, but I learned that no matter what you're wearing or what you look like people respond to confidence, openess, and a lot of smiling. That doesn't mean being Ms. Perky 24/7, just be engaging.

Of course, it also depends where you go. I've never been hit-on by a girl outside a gayborhood or a gay establishment or function. I have flirted with girls in the straight world but that's about it. I mean, it would take a very ballsy girl to hit on you in a predominately straight environment when she doesn't even know if you're gay/bi/whatever or (unless you wearing pride jewelry) plain straight.

And who says you have to wait to be hit on? You can do the hitting too!

i couldnt have said it

i couldnt have said it better!!! =)
