i think for some ppl it is just literally impossible to do this

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

I recommended a record to her. Am I hitting on her? Shit.

I look longingly from afar, and then look away when they look in my direction.

remember that hitting up is awesome and hitting down is purest evil

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!

Or is it just me that finds step 2 the hardest?

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.

Pie to the face also works

Neanderthal, Monday, 28 July 2014 14:06 (nine years ago) link

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

i'm elf-ein lusophonic (imago), Saturday, 9 August 2014 19:41 (nine years ago) link

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.
