Is it normal that guys don't ever flirt or attempt to flirt w/ me but girls do

First off, I'm a girl, 22, average looking - nothing special appearance wise and I'm in my last semester of college.

What I'm wondering is, is it normal that guys never flirt with me or ask me out but girls do? I have male friends but they don't make any sort of romantic or sexual advance toward me even when drunk. When I do get compliments they're from girls or my gay friends. When I catch someone checking me out, it's not a guy but a girl. Guys have never asked me out on dates and even if I make the first move I get rejected every time. Yet, through college at least five girls have asked me out on different occasions.

It's gotten to the point where I'm tempted to just say yes the next time a girl asks. Is this normal?

    Today, I woke this morning and didn't have anything to do, so I decided to hike up a local mountain to eat a sandwich because, well, I wanted a sandwich and a view.

    I hiked up the mountain with a sandwich, chips and a bottle of whiskey and got to the top. There was a guy sitting there on the rocks on an overlook that I wanted to sit on. I sat on the rocks and said "I just came up here to eat this sandwich". He was charmed by my simplistic reasoning and even more charmed when I pulled out the whiskey and offered him a drink. We sat there, midday, drinking whiskey and talking. We hiked down the mountain, talked some more and exchanged numbers on his prompt. I would have just left.

    If he'd have not talked and been turned off by my whiskey pull, it would have been all the same to me. The point is to be yourself. Just be yourself and don't be afraid to talk to people or be afraid of rejection or showing your true personality. Guys, above all, love women that they can have fun with unless there is something seriously wrong with them. They don't want desperation or any of that horse shit. So just go out and be yourself. Seek and ye shall find.

    • Drinking whisky while hiking on mountains seems like injury written all over it.

        Nawh, I am not a light drinker. A few swigs of whiskey just lightens my mood.

  • Maybe you need to adjust on your personality or maybe you are bellow average in appearance. Regardless, if you are going to accept a homosexual relationship just for not being alone, well, good luck with that.

    Perhaps you should of accompanied this post with a picture so we can see if it has something to do with your appearance.

    You sound like me....but I am a guy.....girls never seemed to notice me...but dudes would hit on me...problem is I was only attracted to girls...yet I felt I was striking out with girls...yet some of the guys were total studs...I wished like hell I was gay because I had great luck with guys but shitty luck with girls...anyway I am older now...Almost 50 and here is what I think now.....

    I have low self esteem and social anxiety....unfortunately, these feelings kick in the most when I am around someone I am attracted too...so in a cruel twist of fate,I become the worst version of myself when I am around someone I like and I give off bad vibes...guess what ? They feel the negativity amd they are not attracted to me ...

    Yet around guys or even girls I am not attracted too...I feel fine...I am my funny, laid back even charming self...and guess what...they get the good vibes and some of them in turn become attracted to me.....

    The word flirt is a subjective word and takes a lot of subtle nuances...if girls are hitting on you, then people find you attractive...it is just that you, like me , may be more inhibited around guys and that easy flowing vibe is not be created...

    It may not be necessarilylow self esteem but it may be some mental inhibition around guys

    A lot of kids growing up spend most of their time with the same sex and become used to them amd it takes a while to realize that the opposite sex is just the same really

    Do you ever flirt with guys, or are you waiting for them to come to you? If it's the latter than that may be the issue here.

    I would have to say that from your post it must be something you are projecting, that turns guys off.
    Don't get angry, think about it a bit. If you are average looking, by general standards at least, then odds are you would have been asked out at least a few times, in the last, 6 years.
    Either the way you act, or your manner are deterrents to guys, or the way you dress; I'm not so much talking about looks here, but manner/attitude, of person and dress.
    Practice a big warm smile in the mirror. Be friendly, with everybody, not just those you might like to date. Be happy and fun; laugh at other peoples' jokes, even if they aren't too funny. Everybody loves a good sense of humor.
    "In this world one can be oh, so clever, or oh, so nice. It is very much easier to be oh, so nice."
    Good luck.

    I am in the same situation, except I'm a guy. You could always go bisexual. :3

    They think you're a lesbian. Most girls in college are lesbians.
