Did it Ever Happen to YOU???

I'm just curious, that's all.

Did you ever get propositioned or "hit on" by a member
of your own sex?

I know it's happened to me twice in my life, both
times as an adult. Both times it was caused by my
natural friendliness to strangers. (Saying "Hi" to
people you don't know just 'cuz you're a friendly
person)

Weirdest thing (if you're "straight") to suddenly realize
someone from the same sex is interested in you.

Just wanted to see how many others had the same
experience.

I encourage all of you to respond.

No, never happened to me. But, there was a woman I knew that I always suspected was interested in me. But, she never let me know it if she did.

I've worked with gay women before, but they never hit on me.

Now the one that really caught me off guard was when I went out drinking with a gay coworker one night. He knew he was gay, I knew he was gay and his *cough* roommate knew he was gay. We were sitting in a gay bar drinking (his idea) and he suddenly got real close and whispered in my ear.....

The drunker I get...... the more heterosexual I get! *wink*

And here I was thinking I was SAFE sitting there with him, LOL
Life is full of surprises!! :D

Man, you don't even know. From the time I was 12 I've had gay men checking me out, and though it hasn't bothered me for years, it sure as hell did when I was that age. One time a friend of mine made a joke that, "you should be upset if gay men don't find you attractive. I was at the beach two weeks ago with my brother and they're hitting on him but not me. What the @#$$? I'm not good-looking enough??" We both agreed that it would be great if more women were as aggressive as most of the gay men that hit on us are.

Oh, yes.

That's so funny! I'd probably be thinking the same thing!

It seems to happen to me more often than to everyone else.

When I was 18, I came back home from university and one of my neighbours came by. I was very tired and told her I would rather take a nap and rest because I had been sitting all day long and my back was killing me. She offered to do me a massage and I said okay! I was very naïve, didn't see it coming. I had to cut the massage short and tell her I was fine. It was disturbing because I had never been intimate with any boys and even less girls. I was kind of shocked but never told my family.

Then again in a bus in Brazil, in San Francisco once, in Luxembourg twice. The last time I was standing in front of a shop looking at their jewellery when this woman in her 20s approached me and asked if I liked one bracelet that was exposed. I asked her if it was for herself (I'm like Harrison, I'm very friendly with strangers), she said yes, I said it would look good on her, because it was a large one and she was very tall. She then invited me for a coffee!!! I must have looked completely puzzled because she went on to explain that she was attracted to women and she had liked me. I said I was sorry, I had no problem with that but I was heterosexual. She smiled and said goodbye.

Anyway, I never felt insulted by this, and take it as flattering.

Same here. Since high school, the first time I was propositioned by a guy I was in Phi Theta Kappa with decided I looked yummy to him. So he brought his wife to our graduation awards ceremony and they decided to extend the invitation for me to join them.
Only they waited until I went to the restroom and said wife came in and put the moves on me HARD. Touchy/Feely/Warm/Flattering etc...

Whenever I go to this certain health food store, there is a woman there that obviously likes me. She is very flirtatious and continues to look me up and down in a way that is obvious what she wants. She has asked me small questions about my personal life trying to decide which way I swing. I am so vague ... its great! ;) I guess she thinks I'll just keep coming back, and well, I probably will!

__________

I went out drinking alone one night about 8 months ago, and so I decided to go to the local lesbian club since I didn't feel like being swarmed by guys. Wow! Let's just say its just as weird.. no Weirder... going into a place like that by yourself.
So cliquey (sp?) ... so many fights, and I mean knock down, drag out brawls between these women, and then of course TONS OF PDA's.
Yeah, that is when I knew... I was soooo out of place there. Yes, I was a woman, but I clearly had a different orientation at the core.

__________

I used to hit on one of my friends at work. Her and I started at the same time, progressed at the same time, interacted all day every day. We talked about "it" and went out dancing a few times but never really did anything about it (unless you call grinding "something") ;) . I saw her at Matt's graduation ceremony on Friday. It was the first time in about 1 1/2 years. It was like we never stopped seeing each other. Still that weird tension, and comfortable easy conversation. She was really a cutie.

__________

There are a few more mixed - they flirt with me, or I them etc...

Either way, its kind of enjoyable as I've always said - I enjoy both sexes, just men a bit more! :)

I fell asleep, and woke later to find her groping me intimately.
I did exactly the same thing as I would have done if I woke up and found an uninvited guy molesting me, I punched her, hard!"

LOL Great story, babes! Hee-hee-hee!

I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of a right
hook from an angry goddess! :)

Maria, I also enjoyed hearing your story about the
"massage." If I were a gay woman who met you, I
too would be very interesting in giving you a
massage.

First Love, you are a naughty tease! :D :p

I think human attraction and courtship is an intriguing,
fascinating thing.

Great stories from everyone!

I needed a chuckle this morning!

It happened to me, only once. I was at a party in college when this guy, quite tipsy I think, came up to me and asked if I liked men. I said "No, not my thing," but I didn't take offense.

Since then, it's never happened. I think I dress too unfashionably, am too totally "un-fab," and too hopelessly hetero to draw gay admirers!

The only really bad experience I had was when I was in high school and staying over at a friend's house. Before going to sleep he offered me his bed and said he would take the couch. I fall asleep and sometime during the night I feel a hand sliding up my leg towards my crotch. Half-asleep, I push the hand away and drift off again. Again, a hand touches me going straight for my crotch. I've never been so instantly awake in my life. I reached towards the direction of the hand, grabbed the first thing my hand could grasp (his throat) and pushed his head into the wall, busting the sheetrock. I went downstairs, walked out, and never spoke to him again. It wasn't because he was gay, it was because he took advantage of our friendship, and of me while I was sleeping. I may be a hypocrite, but if it had been an attractive female friend I may have played possum and seen where it would lead to.

I'm a straight man, always have and always will be, though I do dress well :p I don't care about a persons race or sexuality, just if they have common respect for people and don't force themselves on others. I don't think thats too much to expect. Its not a gay thing, straight thing, or whatever. Its a matter of class.

I agree completely with this. Live and let live; be your glorious self whatever and whoever that may be but please dont try to force it on others.....

As for me its happened a few times. The first time was when I was about 22 and had just moved in with my then B/F....we had a small party of his friends one night, none of whom I knew. For a few hours this attractive but very "hard" looking woman kept staring at me.
I interpreted her watching me as sizing me up, as measuring me as competition and only assumed that she was interested in my B/F and wanted to knock my block off. Only later was I told that she was a lesbian. I was very niave and had NO idea. I will admit that afterwards I felt very flattered.
*****
Fast forward about 10 years to the time when a woman who I had become very close to and started going to lunch with every day told me while sitting in her car that she was bisexual and very attracted to me. She proceeded to tell me what hairstyles she liked on me and which of my outfits she favored!! I will never forget she told me that blouses with lettuce edging on the sleeves looked so sweet on me!!! I was shocked--again, ever the oblivious one!
I told her that not only was I unavailable but I was completely hetero. She was a great friend and never brought it up again---there you have the not crossing the line example working perfectly.
*****
And then, after my long term relationship ended and while my Ex was moving out, a very tactless neighbor who happens to be a lesbian asked him about me "does she eat fur burger?" as he was carrying out his things!! Ofcourse he told me and after making all sorts of horrible faces we both burst out laughing.

Its flattering when anyone finds you attractive as long as they respect you if you decline. :D

I have never ever been approached by any female in my life! But just to relate how times sure have changed from when I was in high school, after my class reads Catcher in the Rye, I usually ask my girls that if Holden Caulfield were in this class and he asked them out, what would they say? Well last year I had a class with three openly gay ym in it (and what are the odds of that?), and when the girls were done, one ym looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Well, aren't you going to ask us?" I laughed and thought to myself, THIS was never covered in Education 101, an replied, "Ok, would any of you three go out with him?" The vote was two yes and one no!
