So, the last time I got seriously drunk (pointless story coming)
I was wasting time drinking at a bar near where I live because I had locked myself out of my apartment and had to wait for my roommate to get back. Anyway, a guy follows me out of the bar as I'm walking home. I noticed it when I was over a block away from the bar and had already turned off the major street. I got nervous for a second when I heard his footsteps getting louder to catch up with me.

He started walking beside me and kept asking questions. At this point I was seriously drunk but chatted a little bit without telling him too much, like where I lived and what I did for a living when he asked. He said I looked lonely in the bar. Well, I don't know what this guy was thinking since I had spent most of the night trying to flirt with the hot female bartender with braided blonde hair and a big chest. I had noticed him standing near me in the bar though. This wasn't the first time I have been hit on by a man, so I really didn't care as long as he didn't try to follow me to my doorstep. He didn't look like a guy I couldn't defend myself against if he had turned out to be a loony toon, but then again my reflexes were a little slow at the time due to the $1 martini special at the bar. When I got to my apartment building he kept trying to talk to me and finally walked on.

Now, being hit on by a man doesn't bother me. But for a moment I realized what women must feel like more often when strange men they don't know approach them at night. I wasn't seriously worried, but I was slightly concerned enough that the guy might try something to better understand why girls I knew in college always wanted a friend to walk them to their dorm at night. I wish women didn't have to be afraid of that.

Considering the bar and neighborhood I was in the guy should be a lot more careful. There were people in the bar who probably would have reacted in a much more violent way to what he did. I mean, we weren't on Halstead on the north side or anything. South Side Irish bars are not the place to hit on men.

Anyway, the point of this story is this: Finally someone hits on me and its a MAN. WHAT THE FUCK?!?! Why can't I have a woman hit on me? I'm not attracted to men. Is a woman hitting on me once in a while too much to ask for? I mean, I'm used to not getting hit on by women very much, but to get hit on by a man instead is like an extra slap in the face. My dating life is pretty sad right now.

I got locked out of an apartment once, and had to wait for my then-GF to get home.. somehow, I found a bunch of spilled pot all over the fire-escape, and was totally high by the time she got home :P

she, of course, assumed that I had been hanging out with the stoner-friends-I-wasn't-supposed-to-see-anymore, and never did believe I was high from weed that I FOUND :evilgrin:

on edit- I get hit on by men at LEAST as much as by women.. a compliment is a compliment, that's my attitude now :P

15. That would be insane if you found pot twice!
I mean the odds of finding in once are like 1 in one hundred million billion trillion and 2. :P

6. That does sound pretty unlikely
but that's awesome!
Yeah, my roommate could tell I was pretty drunk when he finally got there. My rule of thumb is that if you don't know what else to do in any situation, head for the bar. :)

7. I get hit on by men frequently
But it's rare when a woman hits on me.
Then again, women are a lot more subtle about it than men, so maybe I'm missing the signs. Maybe you're missing the signs as well.

8. Yes, I am pretty clueless about signs sometimes
Both positive and negative ones. But at least I'm better about that than I used to be.

9.  become a bar tender.the wierdest gig in the world
creatures from other planets will show up and either hit on you or decide you are thier shrink.Next time you get drunk in a bar,skip like a nut case on your way home,nobody hits on someone skipping and it's a great way to get sober having people laugh at you.If you meet a girl tell her you have a slight problem,you can't walk but can only skip,this weeds out the phonys and one nighters. You are correct sir dating sucks ,and the people we want to hit on us will never hit on us.

14. I've thought about that lately
I think I might like it. But, I haven't been drinking for very long and since I almost never drink liquor I'm clueless about that.
I never did ask for the bartender's number that night or hit on her besides a little flirting. I'm sure she gets hit on by every man in the bar and she was spending more of her time talking to a guy in much better shape than I am.

That's very true that the people we want to hit on us never will. That may have happened only a couple times in my life.
