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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
