is it normal to be hit on this way?

[brookebb]

i was on the train.. it was around 8:00 pm. i looked normal. unrevealing clothes. i am thin and i have a very pretty, classic looking face. i am very natural. no highlights, no trashy make up. porcelain skin. dark brown hair. big brown eyes. i am 19 years old.

 

there was this guy on the train (looked like in his 20s). he was sitting a few aisles away. i noticed him staring at me the whole train ride. i did not make eye contact with him because i was not interested. his stop was before mine. he passed me to get off the train and casually dropped a piece of paper on my seat without even looking at me. it said.. "you are super pretty. here is my number. call me if you are interested and i will tell you my name".

 

i never called him obviously. why did he not hit on me in person? also, why didn't he tell me his first name in the note?

 

i never get hit on, and i always assumed it was because i am too naturally pretty and my looks or my unrevealing clothes do not scream that i want attention.

This is clearly the problem.

This is clearly the problem.

 

LOL.

 

To answer your question OP, no that is not a normal way to meet someone it seems pretty stupid to me actually.

By the way, your post did come across as rather insulting and arrogant. Particularly the "trashy makeup" and "unrevealing clothes" part.

 

While I'm a guy, there are girls who are very strong and good women who wear clothing that does show a bit more skin and do enjoy wearing makeup. To call that "trashy" is very insulting to those women. We're not living in the 50's anymore.

 

Back to your post: It isn't usual. It isn't abnormal. He chose to leave his number. I wouldn't call him, though. Stick to people who will give you their name rather than playing games like he did.

That isn't so unusual, but kind of odd that he didn't want to give his name. It'd make him seem less like a stranger.

 

I'm a guy, but here's one for you:

 

Not too long ago I was on the train looking at my phone. Out of my peripheral vision and the window reflection I could see the guy across the aisle would not stop looking at me. I've got nothing against gay guys (or girls for that matter) but when they hit on me it's a little weird. This made me kind of uncomfortable. He typed his number into his phone and then discretely held it in my direction so I'd see it. At first I thought he had just made a call or something and his screen was still illuminated, but then he did it a second time. I almost changed seats.

 

So yeah, I'd guess that sort of thing is more common than you think. There's really no practical way to hit on someone on the train where everyone's a stranger. That I know of, anyways.

You're too naturally pretty?

 

I'm always skeptical of that self-analysis, but it could be true...just not often to be honest. But it's good you have confidence, keep that part regardless.

 

As far as getting a note dropped on your seat...kind of highschoolish and was pretty lame attempt at a pick-up...but still it was a "move". I think some guys do this yes, I've seen/heard guys in their 30's do this and the women typically laugh hysterically about the guy who did...but who knows, maybe they call when they get home!

 

You're going to see all the pick-up lines/moves, you're only 19...give it time, by the time you're 30...you'll know what guys are about, and as pretty as your sweet porcelain face!
