It's a much nicer version of hitting on.
Hmmph. If no one's willing to let me know they want to have sex with me, I'm no less NGA than if no one wants to have sex with me.
But thanks for the compliment.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
WhatEV. Men will hit on anything remotely woman-shaped. *Anything.*
Hey! I never get hit on. Maybe I am not woman-shaped. Quick, someone chalk-outline me.
I rarely get hit on, so maybe I'm sortof woman-shaped.
I think the freakiest part is how unbelievably unselfaware she is.
For me, it's the combination of the actual unselfawareness and the self-reported selfawareness.
Try saying that 3 times fast.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't get hit on either, but I (a) am usually with my husband and (b) give out pretty distinct "do not talk to me" vibes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Allyson, you do so get hit on. Remember that cutiehead coffeehouse guy you squeed about in Natter just a few weeks ago who was being all large with the flirty with you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does that guy rubbing up on me in the subway count as being hit on? Because that happens to me pretty often...
does anyone else think ita's personal cheer is:
Be Specific!
Be Be Specific!
Hee!

I pretty much carry a fuck off and die sign (unless I'm carrying the oh hell no one if I'm feeling friendlier), but unfortunately there are the no-boundaries people. I really hate the no-boundaries people.

Well, yes, but I'm sure there are New Yorkers who get hit on.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm sure there are New Yorkers who get hit on.
Did you mean "get a hit put on them"?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think I'm making a distinction between "hit on" which is creepy and or sleezy, and flirted with, which is pleasant and innocuous.
