FabSwingers.com forum: Do you "hit on" people in real life?

As in, in person, not online.

Online dating and connections appear to be the norm now and with changes to people's working patterns and social pursuits, it seems that old stool chat-ups rarely happen.

Do you do it? If not, why not? Do you get hit on? And by hit on, I don't mean scaffolders shouting "Oi oi!" as you walk past. I mean proper, Craig David 7 Days stuff.

I flirt pretty often, if I feel like. I like a little thrill. The promise of more to never be fulfilled.

I did it for the first time in ages just last week.

Woman in a nail salon ive had my eyes on since before the first lockdown and just waiting for the right opportunity to go in and say hello.

Turns out she's married so declined my approach, but I knew from the smile she gave me and the look in her her that it made her day

I don't think it is anymore. When you ask couples how they met, it's frequently online. They way people work has changed, nor just because of Covid but generally.

I would definitely flirt (a little) with someone I took a fancy too.

I’d probably be so subtle about it, that they’d more than likely scarcely realise. So then I’d just take my dick out and drop a note into their hand with the words “fancy a meet 2 night” on it in child-like Scribble. Hey presto!

FYI, I've only done it once in my entire life? When I was on my early 20s and d*unk. He was the barman of my local pub, so not a complete stranger.

I very very rarely get hit on but when I do, it's never anyone decent but rather weird creepy types.

No!!! 100% no!!!

I’ve never approached a woman in a bar or club, never made the first move in the vanilla world.

I’m not a confident person, anyone who’s met me IRL would 100% agree with that.

I flirt with people in the non-virtual world, I enjoy that, but you have to be extremely careful how you do that now. As such my “way” of flirting is being unashamedly honest and confidently flippant (that makes sense to me). Obviously the minefield of not causing offence or being “creepy” is challenging but I think I get it about right (mostly)

I've seen guys chat up women and get their numbers. It looks cringey for some reason. I can't really explain why though. One of the reasons was maybe because it was at the gym a couple of times. It ought to be an unwritten rule that the gym is off limits. But then the girls did offer their numbers so maybe it's fair game. I've never approached anyone before besides on the dance floor where no verbal communication is necessary.

I find it very easy to talk to people and cut to the chase very quickly. Not as in "do you want to fuck?" but as in "what interests you, what gets you going?"

I tend to be 0-60 in 2 seconds with conversations when it's about politics or culture or intellectual interests and on the occasions those interactions have got sexual, it's because it wasn't about sex.

Sex isn't about sex all the time. Sometimes it's just about how you vibe with people.

Flirting yes, not saying its a talent it does not come easy to me. The dance floor is always good for making yourself approachable.

If I was out in a social setting and saw someone who I thought that I really like I would make an effort and introduce myself, I would dislike the regret of not knowing more than it not working out.

I'm married so it doesn't apply to me in real life but I do find it a little sad that so many of you singles don't approach people you are attracted to. I would hate to be single now and the only way of meeting people to be online. I used to love the thrill of being chatted up by a man.

The last time I approached a woman in public and offered her my number (having told her I had been watching her for a few minutes and thought she was beautiful) , she told me it was “creepy”.

Since then I’ve decided that hitting on a woman in a public toilet is definitely fraught with the risk of an “innocent approach” getting twisted all out of context.

Pfffft

Yep, I definitely flirt and ask ladies out. One lass didn't know what to do or say as she'd never been asked out on a date before. Sad really as she was pretty lass.

I never go anywhere to be able to hit on people, or get hit on.

Year before last Christmas party I did flirt with a few younger guys....Much to the annoyance of my younger colleagues, I got more attention

Far too easy these days to get labelled a creep or a perverted, a picture or video taken and posted on social media.

It’s just not worth it

"As in, in person, not online.

Online dating and connections appear to be the norm now and with changes to people's working patterns and social pursuits, it seems that old stool chat-ups rarely happen.

Do you do it? If not, why not? Do you get hit on? And by hit on, I don't mean scaffolders shouting "Oi oi!" as you walk past. I mean proper, Craig David 7 Days stuff."

If we suspected the person was into our sort of lifestyle, absolutely we would.

"Sex isn't about sex all the time. Sometimes it's just about how you vibe with people. "

Totally agree.

There's a lady at work who's seriously fun to be around. Not flirty so much, as just a wind up merchant. She's so far, been handed two customer telephone numbers, which she's binned, as she has a partner.

Unfortunately, I've never had the courage to give anyone my telephone number. Though, waiting on one lady from work, to leave at the end of the month, and just before, may just hand her my telephone number and run lol.

Though, I gave a bunch of flowers to a solicitors receptionist, after accidently winding her up....with no contact details of mine as I was too embarrassed. That was many moons ago.

I still flirt and chat to women but covid has put up a barrier on people's trust and how they socially behaved before the pandemic.

Where I could chat to women offline much easier before its now all online at the present.

Nowhere near confident enough to hit on somebody in person, the thought of rejection makes me anxious. Never get hit on, not sure why, maybe im not that good looking or i don't come across as being approachable due to lack of confidence

In recent times, most of my chatting up is in real time. Rather than through here or wherever.

To be honest. It's been very successful. I come across much better in real life. Whereas on here, I've become guarded and reclusive.

Nope never hit on a lady or chatted them up (never chased anyone)

I've always been chatted up or approached, if I see someone I like I just keep giving them the eyes/smile and if they come great if not then it wasn't meant to be

I admired guys that can but I can't I'm too shy in that scenario...I've probably missed out on a lot of sex due to this

It’s not worth the risk these days, especially since this whole “stop harassing women” movement.

Not for ages with lockdown but yea absolutely.

See plenty of others doing it too (mostly in bars). If there are 2/3 ladies alone you can almost guarantee some fella or a few lads will have approached them by the end of the night.

Out and about, I'd smile at people shopping and say hello, sometimes just to be nice and other times because I like the look of them. Think it's good to say hello to people and wish them a nice day, costs you nothing and can make someone's day especial after the last year and a half!!!

I have noticed from this thread. That a majority say do not flirt in person . I went to pubs , clubs etc in the seventies onwards. I was useless at flirting , even if female showed interest in me

. Yet find online easier ? . Perhaps rejection online easier to handle ? . Yet I would rather chat etc in person , than online. See persons face and reaction to what I say to them. Online how to know they reaction is genuine ?

Naturally a flirty person. As I'm married, I don't pursue in real life, but I enjoy mutual flirting.
