I try to be adorable and wait for people to hit on me.

Just got hit on for the first time in forever by an intoxicated eastern European with a lot on her mind

If you can dunk, try to find a good moment to slam dunk

Karl Malone, Friday, 13 December 2013 23:53 (ten years ago) link

If anyone says that it's easy for you to slam dunk because you're so tall, pick them up and dunk them

Karl Malone, Friday, 13 December 2013 23:54 (ten years ago) link

Just meet the eye and drop the hand, niiice

I am bad at this. I am also bad at getting hit on -- I totally freeze up. It's probably a good thing I'm married, and it's probably good for my marriage that I'm bad at both hitting on and being hit on.

The last time I smiled at at a guy as a first step in trying to hit on him, he flinched. Ever since then I have been too chickenhearted to try again.

Word Salad Username (j.lu), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 03:14 (ten years ago) link

you sure he didn't just flinch out of nervousness?

I have no idea--he was a random "hipster" in my favorite "hipster" bar. Ever since then I have metaphorically if not literally holed myself up at home and wondered if I'll ever meet anyone before I'm too riddled with dementia to remember what sex is.

Word Salad Username (j.lu), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 03:19 (ten years ago) link

often involves stimulation of genitals or other erogenous zones iirc

I think this comes down to intent; if you're just talking to someone, it's nothing, but if you have an ulterior motive, that would count as hitting on

calstars, Sunday, 19 January 2014 20:52 (ten years ago) link

Like am I hitting on this person or just talking to them?

calstars, Sunday, 19 January 2014 20:54 (ten years ago) link

in jurisprudence that concept is termed men's rea

otm but i tend to look away when anybody looks in my direction

Neanderthal, Sunday, 27 July 2014 23:28 (nine years ago) link

last night I had probably 5 guinnesses in me and I looked around the bar and this girl at the table across from me (who was slightly drunk, as was her b/f) glanced in my direction. didn't think much of it, resumed talking to my friends. two seconds later I'm looking that way again (as that's the way I was facing) and we make eye contact and unlike usual, I didn't pull my glance away and she gave me a flirtatious wink.

given that I'm not about O.P.P., it felt a bit awkward, but stuff like that never happens w/ me so it was more surprise than anything.

Neanderthal, Sunday, 27 July 2014 23:34 (nine years ago) link

1. See someone you like
2. ???
3. i just strike up a convo and see if it goes anywhere.
4. Profit!

2.) benign compliment about their outfit or hairstyle or best yet, glasses. usually the response is "thanks! i like your glasses too."

Treeship, Monday, 28 July 2014 11:47 (nine years ago) link

tried that but usually the response I get is "I'm not wearing glasses, are you high?".

which tbf I am

Neanderthal, Monday, 28 July 2014 11:53 (nine years ago) link

I find that picking the weakest member of the surrounding group and destroying them physically or verbally is a good step 2, gives u that swagger needed to bring yr game to play

Then you should just start right in on your kino escalation.

Follow them around, talk bollocks to them, drunkenly lunge at an arbitrary moment. Works maybe 25% of the time.

sit embarrassed until they react positively to someone else's compliment, then cut in out of jealousy

How do you do it ?

Not an expert, lord knows. I think it may have some resemblance to flirting, but with added sexual entendre and body language. If that doesn't do it, I got nuthin' to offer.

according to my extensive early education in hitting on people you must:

  • say "hubba hubba!" repeatedly, with great enthusiasm
  • describe an hourglass figure in the air with your hands (or paws)
  • roll your tongue out and pant heavily
  • flap your arms and crow like a rooster
  • shoot steam from your ears
  • howl like a wolf
  • hit yourself on the forehead with your fist
  • say "hello gorgeous"

the tune was space, Saturday, 27 September 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link

today a very beautiful woman smoking a cigarette on the library steps was staring at me, but in this way that seemed scary and almost confrontational. i thought there was maybe a 2-5% chance that she wanted me to come over and talk to her, but i didn't want to push my luck so i looked down at my shoes and hurried into the library. signature move.
