Getting hit on

The portier ad a place, that I do research in, always checks out my outfits, he really loves highwaist skirts, tights, big hats, big sunglasses, red lipstick, a sporty modern take on the retro look and comments every single day when I go in there what he likes especially.

Some days I put my shirt into my skirt before I go in, just to make him happy. It is completely harmless but he told me my smile and interactions are making his day, so I continue. I enjoy making him a bit happy.

There is nothing like a woman who smiles when she enters a room. I'm sure your attire is nice. But a smile and a good personality go a long way.
 
Share your stories/ experiences of getting hit on. Sex doesn't matter, even if you think you got hit on but were not positive.
It should be fun to hear everyone's experiences.

Here is an example

I was in an airport this weekend waiting for travel companions to use the restroom after getting off a flight.
I was standing in between two gates for a few minutes and a woman standing a few feet away looks at me, smiles and asks if I want to go with her to her destination.
I laughed and so did she and she said I had to take a shot, have a good day.
Well, that's a good one. Guess you still have the mojo
 
anyone approaching you in person and saying some type of pick up line.
I know this is your thread and this is how you're defining it, but I don't think it has to be limited to pick-up lines.

A pick-up line is one way to hit on a stranger, and a stranger is one type of person one can hit on, but one doesn't have to only hit on strangers, and one doesn't have to only do it with a pick-up line.

I for one don't hit on strangers and I don't use pick-up lines. When someone gets hit on by me, it's after we already know each other and/or it's after we have already been conversing. When I inject some flirting into that conversation, it isn't via a pick-up line, which I barely consider to be flirting at all.

When the flirting is successful and the other person reciprocates it, and I escalate things to asking for a number or inviting them to meet again, you might call that a pick-up but it's not done with a "line."

Oh I agree but this was more about absolute strangers not acquaintances.
I thought my example gave a good indication but I should have made it crystal clear.
I have always looked at pickup lines are what people do when hitting on strangers. Acquaintances I look at that as flirting.

But even still:

Hitting on an absolute stranger with only a pickup like and no preamble at all to establish whether there’s even any rapport at all is only one way to do it, this was what my point was.

A pickup line out of nowhere is bold but it’s very random. What if they turn out to be someone you wouldn’t even like, personality wise? What if they aren’t attracted to you because they just haven’t had any chance, any time, at all to become even slightly acquainted with you? A pickup line is just hitting them in the face with your intentions.

What I was talking about was more, starting a conversation, and nudging it in a flirty direction if it seems like there is actually any level of connection happening, before making a proposition like asking for a number or suggesting to ā€œlet’s get out of hereā€ and go find some privacy.

This kind of interaction involves no pickup lines at all because it establishes connection and mutual interest before one makes one’s intentions or one’s sexual interest plainly clear. It might only take five minutes. I’m not talking about ā€œmaking friendsā€ and becoming a long-term acquaintance, I’m just talking about being friendly and seeing whether they seem attracted to you once they notice you and have the chance to assess your chemistry with them.

Pickup lines do not create chemistry and they don’t allow chemistry to develop - it’s the wham-bam-thankyou-ma’am of ā€œflirting.ā€ So, they very often just immediately fail, because it’s coming from someone who the other person doesn’t have any reason at all to feel attracted to, personality wise. It only works if the other person is already looking to get picked up and doesn’t much care by-whom, and/or they’re susceptible to looks alone as a factor for attraction, which is pretty unusual.

What I’m saying is, approaching strangers can still work, just that pickup lines aren’t the only, or even the most common, way to succeed at that. I suppose you could say that if you’re flirting with then, then, they’re already an acquaintance, but, if you really just met them, then I don’t think we’re talking about acquaintances in the sense you meant.
 
I flew halfway across the country one morning and on the way to the hotel stopped off for lunch. The place was crowded so I took an open spot at the bar which happened to be next to a voluptuous blonde having a cocktail. She was a few years older than I but she was definitely ā€œmy typeā€.

I don’t remember who broke the ice but we started talking. I told her I was from out of town on my way downtown and she said her and her husband had recently moved to town. We kept chatting and she was giving me all the signals, touching her hair, coyly smiling, etc and she eventually turned on her stool to face me. She wasn’t dressed sluttily but was wearing a skirt that showed off her legs and a top that revealed some but not too much of her ample cleavage.

About 45 minutes after we started talking her cell phone rang and it was her husband. I heard her tell him something to the effect that she didn’t know when she’d be home, but she didn’t tell him what she was going to do the rest of the afternoon. A few minutes later, I paid my bill and wished her luck.

I got back in my rental car and realized I missed my chance. Dumb assed me. I did have some hot phone sex with the wife that night however.
