How do you feel when someone of the opposite sex finds you to be attractive?

Mostly I just find it amusing, although sometimes I'm flattered (along with being amused) since I think compliments are almost always nice.

Complimentary. Makes me feel better about myself, regardless of gender.

 

It makes me happy but at the same time, sometimes I think they are lying since I have trust issues.

 

Flattered. In a weird way it makes me feel good. Although I understand that's partly because I sometimes feel good to "pass" as straight. I know it's pathetic.

 

There was a time in my youth when it happened a lot...now, not so much.

But I still like it when it happens.

 

Irritated, I think 'why aren't you a guy?'

 

Largely indifferent, if not slightly irritated since I, of course, would want to attract guys. I had one girl seriously like me (to the point of stalking me.....), and that was the one time I had a real problem with it.

 

I feel flattered.

 

Flattered but weird, I don't know how to react, I'm an expert when it comes to handle men's attention but women's, not so much.

 

If its a genuine "I think your very attractive" it's flattering but I'd rather the compliment be coming from a female

 

I feel flattered, and thank them. If they were really interested, I would just say "I'm flattered, but I'm gay. HOWEVER I have some straight male friends who are single, hahaha "

 

If they show it in a nice way it's flattering but I don't like it when a guy is looking me up and down and starts hard core flirting

 

It has been a good while since that has happened, but the times that it has, I've always been left feeling awkward. My problem is, I'm not sure how to really play it off, and I wouldn't want to right out reject them.
There was this girl, a few years ago, that kept trying and trying and trying, and finally, against my better judgement, I just told her I was already dating some other girl. Sweet girl, and I hated to do it, but, yeah.... =\
Now, nobody has any interest in me!

"Woooohooo, a Girlfriend!!!"

(!)(!)(!)

 

It's flattering, but I immediately start panicking: How do I stop this?? I generally shy away from making blunt "I'm gay!" pronouncements. I also never want to assume that someone is being anything more than friendly.

So yeah, it can get awkward. Maybe my own fault.

 

Flattered if the woman is attractive to me and low-key.
I get annoyed if I don't find them attractive and they are persistent and aggressive.

 

It's so few and far between that all I give is an awkward:

"Um....thank you?"

But then, that's actually not any different than with guys, which seems even more rare....

 

Indifferent I guess. I just fake a smile for them and say thanks.

 

I've had some girls find me attractive. One of them was a Black girl who propositioned me while I was sitting in the hot tub at a sauna (That's not going to happen, for more reasons than one), and a different girl who spent this past year fawning over me and trying to get me to go out with her. Sorry, but that's not going to happen either.

I just told them both directly, "I'm gay." and left it at that. The last one, I also told that I had (and still have) a boyfriend and she was absolutely shocked. Even she thought he was hot when I showed her the picture of him.
